Neil Patil and Renjie Wong take you through Tiong Bahru, the neighbourhood where old-world charm meets trendy vibes. From traditional hawker gems to indie cafés, this is the place to slow down and soak in Singapore’s coolest local scene.
➡️ First Stop: Where Is Tiong Bahru? 🏡📍
Neil and Renjie kick things off by uncovering the history and location of this unique enclave, setting the stage for an experience that blends heritage with modern flair.
➡️ Breakfast Paradise: Tiong Bahru Bakery & More 🥐☕
Wake up to the best of both worlds—old-school kopitiams alongside iconic cafés like Tiong Bahru Bakery. Renjie explains why Tiong Bahru has long been Singapore’s go-to spot for the perfect morning bite.
➡️ Street Food Royalty: Michelin-Starred Hawker Gems 🍜🏅
With the highest number of Bib Gourmand hawker stalls in one place, Tiong Bahru Market & Hawker Centre is a must-visit. A local favourite? Lor Mee 178 Stall offers thick, starchy noodles packed with flavour.
➡️ Hidden Gem: A Café by Day, a Bar by Night 🌙🍸
Step inside Hua Bee for a nostalgic coffee shop experience, but come back in the evening to see it transform into Bincho at Hua Bee, a sleek food joint serving Japanese-inspired bites.
➡️ Why One Day Isn’t Enough! ⏳🎨
Neil shares why a single day barely scratches the surface. With its blend of art, heritage, and buzzing café culture, Tiong Bahru deserves an unhurried deep dive.
➡️ Coming Up: Michelin-Starred Street Food! 🍽️🌟
Next stop? Singapore’s best street food that’s won over Michelin inspectors. Stay tuned for a culinary adventure like no other!
💡 Pro-tip: Come hungry and explore on foot—Tiong Bahru’s best discoveries are found while wandering!
