シンガポールのチャイナタウンには、イスラム教やヒンドゥ教寺院、それに韓国レストランや洋風のバーまでいろいろな建物が立ち並んでいます。まさに”
ROJAK"！
現代的なビルだらけのシンガポールですが、この辺には歴史を感じさせるショップハウスも多く残っています。
特に裏通りにはショップハウスを改装したおしゃれなカフェやレストランがたくさんあります。
東京やNYにもまけない素敵なお店では、オーチャードの喧騒に疲れた大人たちが静かに時間を楽しんでいます。もちろん私もその一人。
皆さんも、お気に入りの店をさがしにチャイナタウンへ行ってみませんか。
At Singapore's Chinatown, other than the mosque and Hindu temple (and also Chinese temple), Korean restaurants and westernized bars can be readily seen in the district. It is just like "
ROJAK"!
Although Singapore is full of modern high rise buildings, over at Chinatown, many
shop-houses which have abundance of historical and heritage values, still remain. Many stylish caf
és and restaurants can be seen within those beautifully-restored shop-houses along the the streets of Chinatown.
These retail and restaurants are comparable to those in the modern cities such as Tokyo and New York. However, unlike those in the bustling Orchard, at Chinatown, one can enjoy some peaceful and quiet time (with some friends or alone). Needless to say, I am also one of them.
Would you also like to explore Singapore's Chinatown to search for a shop which you will like?
