What's your impression of Chinatown?

the_fallen SG

I have always wonder about this question..whenever i go to chinatown..

I go there for food, cheap and quality food..though it needs at least 30mins to be in the queue before it's your turn..

Qn: What's your impression of Chinatown?

#1: It's a place where old people and China people hang out

#2: There's nothing interesting about Chinatown

#3: I don't know of any valuable cultural heritage of that place

#4: I like to explore Chinatown, but there's no proper tour guide specialist in that area

#5: I heard a lot of positive sharing of Chinatown, and would like to explore it on foot when I have a chance to do so myself.

#6: Others: Your thoughts (perhaps)?

i think it must be it la..

it was crowded from the day it started operations..when they attracted passer-by's attention with the loud korean singers' MTVs intially..

that restaurant is a branch from korea right..thus it's popularity..

if it's the same restaurant..go around 2-3pm plus..it's only half-filled..can still get seats..

though i only walk past it..

FireIce SG

Newly renovated Chinatown Point is worth a visit.

I like the Chinese style decor of the new National Library Branch at the Chinatown Point.

Chinatown Point gives three experiences. One side of the building with a carpeted circular walkway from level one to the top level gives the experience of shopping in Orchard road

The other side of the building gives the experience of the middle class shopping.

The two basement levels gives the experience of the neighborhood shopping.

I go there to do lot of things…eat dim sum, eat chang cheng porridge, buy big china mooncake, eat the Holland v xo fish head bee hoon, buy tour package, enjoy the crowd during pre cny period etc etc etc…

kengkia SG

my impression : plenty of old people around, everyday is like CNY feeling, going back to the feelings of 2 generation back.

TehJarVu SG

ai li huan loh, u ask for wat

the_fallen SG

would you guys visit Chinatown on a regular basis rather than only making it a once a year visit during CNY period?

i was just thinking..with the new Chinatown point, that's nothing but a duplicate of another shopping mall without any Chinese theme (except for the NLB)..

Is Chinatown gradually losing it's place??..or is it about to be taken over the the people from China?

I visit Chinatown often..but somehow..it gradually starts to sink in me that I don't really like visiting Chinatown as much as I like in the past..

The modernization is taking away the appeal of Chinatown as a Cultural place for the Chinese..isn't it?

FireIce SG

i dun even go there during CNY.

no loss in the chinese culture element

there are chinese all around, even in the "modern" Chinatown Point

yes, the library is dope.
other than some ah peks stealing 40 winks in there.

anyway, do u need to go chinatown for the chinese culture feel?

u can just go anywhere in SG
