Chinatown: Rhythm & Blues
From bullock carts to horse-powered engines, spare shophouses to multipurpose complexes, Singapore's Chinatown doesn't skip a beat. Swing into her rhythm and discover her soul, be it a reflective moment at the Yue Hai Qing Temple, the clever word-play in Cantonese opera or a steaming bowl of garlicky noodles at Boon Tat Street.Where great-grandma and grandpa once eked out a spartan living, the great grandchildren now enjoy the fruits of their labour, relaxing with a cappuccino at an open-air cafe, shopping for traditional potions or lotions, or even commissioning a piece of avant-garde silver jewelry. Welcome to the funky, fascinating millieu of Chinatown.
