Good Day Everyone,
I absolutely love Singapore at night, when it’s all lit up
with all the amazing lights and colours. One of my favourite places at night is
Chinatown, although very ‘touristy’ it looks lovely with all the beautiful
lanterns, restored shophouses and colourful stalls full of endless gift
possibilities for loved ones.
Recently one evening whilst my hubby was of having some
reflexology in Chinatown, I decided to wander down the main touristy street
with my camera and came back with, let’s just say, more than a few photos ;o)
Pagoda Street is a great feast for the eyes if, like me, you
absolutely love colour! It’s a mix of vibrant gift stalls and shops where you
can buy silk robes, fridge magnets, chopsticks, fans, bags, jewellery, t-shirts,
lanterns... oh the offerings are endless, with some local eateries, massage and
reflexology places and even a Tintin shop! Yep that’s right a whole shop
dedicated to Tintin! The street also has the Chinatown Heritage Centre where
several shophouses have had the interiors restored to resemble the insides of
1950s shophouses providing a glimpse into the history of these amazing
buildings.
I’ve been to Chinatown several times and many of my family
and friends have been on the postal receiving end of these successful ventures,
however, this time I thought I’d indulge myself with some of the touristy
treats! I bought myself a beautiful silk robe which is ideal for the local heat
and humidity, a compact mirror for my purse, a little jewellery box to keep
some stud earrings in, a fan (which is a must in any handbag given the heat) and a toiletries / travel case. The travel case is a
great size for shampoo / conditioner bottles, and most importantly my Urban Decay Naked
palettes. In fact, I may go back and buy a couple more of these!!!
Have you visited Chinatown in Singapore? What did you buy?
