Videos like these always put myself into new perspectives. Its so interesting how foreigners come and appreciate buildings that we locals take for granted. I would nv imagine them loving the architecture as much as like how Georgia does it. To us, we dont even bat an eye at these old buildings
I am a Singaporean who have lived overseas for the last 36 years. It is funny that I am relearning about Singapore from an expat but I am thankful. Thanks for sharing your experience in Singapore.
Block 46/47/48 at Sterlings Road (Quesnstown) is also worth taking good Instagram pictures due to it being the first completed HDB flats after the Bukit Ho Swee fire! (One of the oldest modern HDB flats ever built) It‘s vintage look will surely makes gives you an unforgettable experience! Don‘t forget to visit the HDB flats at Selegie Centre (Little India) and the Circuit Road (MacPherson) too if you have the time! 😊
Drips Bakery Cafe has the best tarts, it's just infront of Tiong Bahru Bakery! Also, Tumbleweed is a plant shop just beside Tiong Bahru Bakery which has one of the most beautiful facade! :)
Gosh this neighbourhood has certainly gone ahead since I stayed there at Wangz some years ago. Tiong Bahru Markets are wonderful to wander through. So many new eateries. Must visit again when next in SG. This is a great series to do. I’ll look forward to recognising all the areas I’ve been and to put new ones on the list. Thanks 🙏 Georgia.
Hi ,new fan here..just found out this Tiong Bahru video. Luv it because i used to live there years ago, near the market, luv their hawker, market place, the buildings, little alleys, mini garden backyards,etc. Back then, there were less cafe around, more family owned shops. Such lovely place there, pretty near Orchard road where i used to work. Thank You So Much for this lovely, memories filled video of Tiong Bahru, luv the changes there too✨
That little old lady selling eggs 😭❤️ so cute. Really enjoyed this video. With everything happening in the world right now I love watching these kinds of videos 💕
I fly to singapore once a year and i make it a point to make time to visit tiong bahru everytime. The atmosphere completely changes compared to the rest of SG. Its the best not so hidden gem thats a joy just wander about. I will even go as far to say that going here changes your life in a subtle unexpected way.
i’ve been living in Tiong Bahru in the 80s when i was a kid. Now look so different. I want to go there but something coming to my head which place to visit in Singapore. Everytime Orchard, Paya Lebar. This 2 places alway pop in my mind. Nice video it brings back the memory lane inside of me.
Love seeing the different neighborhoods! It's been more than 30 years since I lived in Singapore, it's strange seeing how modernized it's become. I lived in a neighborhood called Faber Hills, don't even know if it's still around! Thanks for the awesome vids. ❤️
Omg thank you so much for this video! I've been looking for a good bookstore since i moved here in Singapore..today is my 1st month here! Enjoying your channel so much Georgia 💕
My last trip before the pandemic hit was to Singapore, but didn’t get to visit this neighborhood. :( it’s so chill and cozy. Will definitely add this to my list for future travel. 💕
Happy to know that you love the unique architecture in Tiong Bahru. You’ll be glad to know that Tiong Bahru estate was built by the British under the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT), this was like the precursor to HDB. There’s even an air raid bomb shelter built in the centre of Tiong Bahru Estate.
I live in Tiong Bahru and you’re welcome for tea anytime! Check out Bincho, a hidden Japanese izakaya and you must definitely have Loo’s Hainanese Curry Rice that has been a local culinary institution since 1946 serving curry that reportedly takes 3 days to make (only open for lunch!)
Try explore Seletar aerospace, you will find many British old colonial bungalows around. Stay till late as there are some nice cafes, restaurants, bars with live band. Used to served my NS there years ago, things has changed alot but still worth a visit
I love The Foodie Market Place (fmp) there. They sell plain frozen breaded chicken strips and I will air fry it. Then I will make a Korean style soy garlic sauce to go with it. They sell cheap Johnson Ville sausages too. Ntuc is selling them for 11 plus but the fmp is only selling it for 8 dollars. The pasta is cheap too. If you are looking for pink salt and pepper or herb seasoning, you can find it there too. The olive oil is nice and they have nice balsamic vinegar too.
This is probably my number one favourite place to visit when I float through Singapore once or twice a year. Two absolute musts in Tiong Bahru for me are Books Actually and the Food Centre above the Market. An easy afternoon. As I like architecture, I love the Black and Whites, and walking around the English place named streets of Alexandra Park gawping at the lovely Black and Whites is fantastic., too.
Yep Gr8t Spot ...That Art Deco Style is Stunning..’Steamline Moderne’ ..Another Similar Style that “May” interest you is Parkview Square in Bugis, has some Fascinating Features.
I grew up at Tiong Bahru area. Yes, even then, I knew it was a special estate. I like the spot whereby there will peope hanging up their bird cages, and admiring their pet birds as they sing (not sure whether this area still exist). Also like the spiral staircases, vintage window grille . Of course, the food at the hawker centre, though the old market has changed to the current one.
Well done. There is a Japanese guy (called Ghib Ojisan) living in Singapore and he has 2 channels. One is on Singapore hawker food (called Taberu Travel) and the other on his Singapore adventures (just like what you are doing now).
Seng Poh Rd... was that where they used to have bird singing contests? I remember in early trips to Singapore in the late eighties, the bird singing was in Tiong Bahru. That market is great and the hawker centre upstairs is great value!
Spent 20 years working out of Singapore had some great times their good friends and good times always like Changi Village use to be laid back atmosphere great place to spend a Sunday afternoon banana leaf curries at Sammy's at the Civil Service Club Dempsey Road all very trendy now around there
I would recommend you to attend gigs in Singapore! I do hope you can let out opinions if British music sub-culture are still practicing same in Singapore! ❤️
Loving your videos, Georgia. :) my name is Georgia too. You can check out Holland village Chip Bee gardens once restaurants open! Cute little cafes/ restaurants there. :)
All HDB flats in Singapore are subjected to a 99 years lease restriction, which means that those flats will be demolished once the lease expires. Due to a shortage of land in Singapore, 99-years leasehold is a very practical solution to allow lands to be recycled so that new flats can be built for the future generations to come! On top of that, older HDB flats tend to have many structural issues such as watee leaking from roof or even collapse wall due to wear and tear. That's why the Singapore government have introduced the Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS) to redevelop older towns in Singapore, but such measures wouldn't happen for at least another 15-20 years to come. The HDB flats at Sterling Road was completed in 1961, which means the lease will expire by 2060. I hope you will visit there soon!
I don't think those art deco Tiong Bahru flats would be demolished once they reach their 99 years lease. If I'm not wrong they are on the conservation list. What is certain is they would be taken back and refurbished by the government and might be leased out again or repurposed.
how about a tour to punggol? punggol waterway. u csn still find wild boar there. punggol is located at the northeast of singapore. U can see jb from there.
i live at tiong bahru for 21 years of my life but honestly im too lazy to get around the neighbourhood so detailed like you are right now LOL so watching your video is like ' oh ok i didnt know that was special i walk pass that everyday.. ' haha but great video
Awesome video! I've been living in Singapore for the past 16yrs, and I never knew Tiong Bharu had so much to offer! Hahaha, btw how were you going from places to places? Were you driving or taking public transport? Parking looks like quite a hassle in Tiong Bharu...
I was born in the west but I don't remember much of it and grew up in the east but this part of Tiong Bahru looks nice with all the cafe and shops and it's surprisingly very clean! Between the 2, which do you prefer? Tiong Bahru or Katong/Joo Chiat area?

The TB hawker is amazing!! Lots of local places are famous here too like sin hoi san seafood, por kee, loos hainanese curry, ting heng etc
Amidst our busy lives, it is a therapeutic experience to take a pause and admire a quaint neighbourhood and its traditional architecture.😍

Never thought Tiong Bahru could be so refreshing , really a superbly done video ,Thank you Georgia
Just found this video Georgia and loved it! Definitely going to put Tiong Bahru on my list for when I visit next year.

Cool video. As a Singaporean who rarely leaves the house, it's nice to have a video tour of places I don't usually go to and might want to explore.
Omg thank you so much for this video! I've been looking for a good bookstore since i moved here in Singapore..today is my 1st month here! Enjoying your channel so much Georgia 💕

My in-law stays in Tiong Poh Road. Very close to Ah Chiang Porridge. This Ah Chiang Porridge is super popular and simply delicious.

I work in Tiong Bahru! It's strange to be here on the weekdays but not the weekends. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your vlog!

Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice there in the neighbourhood is pretty good. Been a family favourite since the '80s.

The flats in Tiong Bahru are under conservation ColdplaySwifties13 - You are right that they are on a 99 year lease, but they will not be knocked down
Hello Georgia how have u been doing?. Honestly yes i love tiong bahru estate as well. Not much people even on the weekends
how about a tour to punggol? punggol waterway. u csn still find wild boar there. punggol is located at the northeast of singapore. U can see jb from there.
nice intro to SG neighbourhood ~
Georgia, you should visit Apollo Cafe in Serangoon Gardens. It’s a fantastic cafe and I highly recommended it.
YES, u can take a walk around Serangoon Garden area as well as that popular Chomp Chomp hawker besides...
i live at tiong bahru for 21 years of my life but honestly im too lazy to get around the neighbourhood so detailed like you are right now LOL so watching your video is like ' oh ok i didnt know that was special i walk pass that everyday.. ' haha but great video
Pulau ubin, semalau island...etc all offshore small islands.
I'm in Singapore for 18 years never went there before haha
Nicely shot!
Awesome video! I've been living in Singapore for the past 16yrs, and I never knew Tiong Bharu had so much to offer! Hahaha, btw how were you going from places to places? Were you driving or taking public transport? Parking looks like quite a hassle in Tiong Bharu...
Every lunar calendar month on the 1st and 15th, flowers and fruits are used as offering when Buddhists pray.
Thanks so much for this video!! This is my favorite one from you so far this 2020 :) I'll definitely visit Tiong Bahru next time I'm in Singapore.
You look beautiful and elegant with the hats.
Check out PS.Cafe Petit at Tiong Bahru
I was born in the west but I don't remember much of it and grew up in the east but this part of Tiong Bahru looks nice with all the cafe and shops and it's surprisingly very clean!
Between the 2, which do you prefer? Tiong Bahru or Katong/Joo Chiat area?
More videos of Singapore :) 🇸🇬♥️
Please do more 😍😍😍😍
Can we have a tour of Holland v?
Such a beautiful place!!
What about Holland Village. Is it still a charming place or residential area?
We live in Tiong Bahru.....happy to host you for a cup of tea....we have a very unique door.
Haha omg, my kind of people 😂👏🏻
I love doors too! haha
As a Singaporean, Tiong Bahru always feel like a different country, compare to the other parts of Singapore.
And katong too ! My neighborhood tho
I live there and this lady explored more than me
amazing video
Thank you!
Super view
Tiong Bahru estate was built by the colonial government for public housing. It is now famed as a pink area. There are some good foodie outlets there.
i see the road to my grandma's place!
hey! what were the main reasons you didn't settle in this hood?
I live in Tiong Bahru! haha
Would like to also see what you have bought each time u visit a store.
I live here!!!!
Have you seen the Everton Shop or private property houses?
My fav hood !
Oh you didn’t go to Loo’s Curry Rice like I suggested? 😢😢😢
Tiong bahru trendy meh
The link to your glasses wasn’t working. Are you able to name them?
