Chinatown
Central, Singapore
February 2015
Chinatown Food Street (CFS) celebrates the assembly of specialty dishes from main Chinese dialects and the different races in Singapore, all under one roof. The 100-metre street, located at Smith Street, has undergone a $5 million facelift. This includes adding a high-ceiling glass shelter and a built-in cooling system.
Comfortable, sheltered and well-ventilated seats...
Located in the heart of Chinatown, the revitalised CFS seeks to create the most authentic Singapore dining experience for locals and tourists alike. With street hawker stalls, shophouse restaurants and festive street kiosks, complete with the alfresco dining style along the street, one can revisit the Chinatown of old.
