Known for
The Seng Poh market and the pre-war blocks around it.
The market and the pre-war flats
Tiong Bahru
Tiong Bahru
Seng Poh Road, Eng Hoon Street, Tiong Bahru Road
Pre-war blocks with rounded corners and the market on Seng Poh. Morning belongs to the market. The day belongs to the cafes between the stairwells.
Why go
The market in the morning, the courtyards after. The evening is quieter than Chinatown.
Where to stay
A good base if you want a calm quarter rather than the river. The centre is a short ride, not a walk.

The market sits in the middle of the quarter. The cafes face the court, not the main road.
Where to have it
