Julie Bakes - Fusion Cakes#mysgmemories I first know about this cake shop when I tried their Onde-Onde Cake. They are famous for their fusion cakes. For example, they have Putu Piring, Badak Berendam and more. Basically, any Malay Kueh, they can transform into a cake! And the most important thing is it is delicious and shiok! Located near the Masjid Sultan, you just have to walk a few steps to get to Julie Bakes. My favourite from the shop has to be the Onde-Onde and Serawa Durian. Durian lovers, you will love this! When you walked into the shop, you can smell all the delicious cake and will be spoilt for choices. With so many selection, you wish you can buy everything.Atiqah A31

Tarik - Shiok Teh & Coffee#mysgmemories Coffee and Teh lovers, this is for you! Located at 92 Arab Street, Tarik is right at the step of Arab Street. You might missed it because it’s at one corner. It is so hard to find a good Teh Halia now. Usually it is either they put too much milk or too little ginger. But at Tarik, they put the right proposition. I have tried both of their hot and cold Teh Halia, and I love both. With this hot weather, I opted for their cold one and it is still as shiok when I sipped into it. Other than drinks, they also have epok-epok, karipap and French toast filled with either sardine or cheese sausage. Pair your drink with the sardine French toast for the best combo!Atiqah A22

Secret sushi shopHidden in plain sight within the heritage neighbourhood of Kampong Gelam, this second-storey sushi shop is a cosy restaurant with a nice view of the bustling shopping streets below! The owners designed it to replicate an airplane theme, which was quite interesting. Food here was delicious too, plus every customer received a complimentary chef’s dessert after their meal. The only drawback is that the portions are fairly small for quite a high cost. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #mysgmemories #singapore #tripblazers #tripmomentsdaniaexperiences18

Arab Street in SGAmongst the diversity found in Singapore, Arab Street shines as a special gem. I love strolling the alleys in this area - there are murals, small shops selling items you would not find elsewhere in Singapore. The food here is great too, although it is pricier than other local food places since this area caters more to tourists. The 100% Arabica coffee shop here is always busy and packed, but it’s a great place to recharge with some coffee. Arab Street is a wonderful place to chill and snap some awesome photos. #timetotravel #singapore #sg #arabstreet #tripblazerspoohwubear12

Cultural heritage walkOne way to find the hidden gems in one of Singapore‘s most established heritage neighbourhoods is to sign up for an walking tour here. This used to be an area dedicated to the Malay community back in Singapore‘s developing years and many of the beautiful shophouses have been preserved and repurposed. We learnt about the rich history behind many of the buildings and nature parks, like how one bookstore had been passed down to the third generation in the family! Very artsy place to come immerse yourself in especially if you’re a history buff. #singaporetripmagniflying26

Arab Street Food TripSingapore is a food paradise. Serving foods from all ethnicity and cultures. At the Arab Street, you get to choose from some of the authentic food. You can have a meal of Turkish kebab beef or chicken, served in a plate of rice or in a wrap form for easier bites. For western food lovers, you may try out the buffalo sandwich burger meal together with the truffle fries. To go along with the foods, a cup of blueberry coconut sorbet would be great to have, under this sunny weather. Be sure to try out the dishes when you are at the Arab Street. #singaporetrip #tripblazersJ3p8y5wj7hyj21

Exploring Arab Street & Kampong GlamGetting There - Nearest MRT is East- West (Green) Line Bugis Station. Abt 10 Mins walk. Attractions - Arab Street, Sultan Mosque, Kampong Glam and surrounding During my station at Intercontinental Hotel, I became a tourist in my own country and explored the Arab Street, Kampong Glam and the surrounding areas. The area is so amazing and captivating and full of vibrancy. Rich in history and traditionally a congregation area for Muslim immigration from the past, the area retains the culture and traditions up to today. The modern skyscrapers in the background creates an interesting view and reflects the seamless integration of historical and modern buildings . The first sight that catches your attention in the area is the Sultan Mosque, a landmark of the area with a long history. Walking along Arab Street, you will see many shops selling carpets, traditional clothing, textiles, handicraft etc. There are also many restaurants offering different cuisines - Lebanese, Turkish, Malay etc. For tourists and local, Arab Street and Kampong Glam area is a must visit. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #本地遊 #arabstreet #kampongglam3MSGPFamily10

🌟Tipo Pasta 🍝 Bar 🌟 حلال ( HALAL )Address - 28 Aliwal Street, #01-07, Singapore 199918 Ambiance/Facilities - Boasting pastel pink and turquoise walls, large windows, and beautiful pendant lights, Tipo Pasta Bar’s interior was very Instagrammable. The restaurant had a decent amount of seats with ample space, and it was very warm and inviting. However, it got crowded really quickly by the time our food arrived. We didn’t mind it, but it might not be ideal for those looking for a quiet place to dine in. Highlights - Classy Carbonara ($17.60++), Build Your Own Pasta ($9.90++) Avg. Price per Person - SGD30 Rating - 8/10 If you’re a pasta lover like me, you would have probably heard of the highly raved-about Tipo Pasta Bar, a Muslim-owned restaurant that specializes in handmade pasta. Every time I’d plan to visit, they would be fully booked. This time, I decided to be a bit more kiasu and walk in to the store before they opened. But the food 🥘 were really amazing!!! The brioche bread 🥯 was crisp, buttery, and toasted to perfection.But the star ⭐️ of the show was the Classy Carbonara and Creste De Gallo was our pasta of choice here. The dish stars a creamy sauce made from egg yolks, grated Grana Padano, tender smoked duck 🦆 , and a sous vide egg 🥚 . Each bite was filled with pocketfuls of creamy goodness. Overall, I felt that Tipo Pasta Bar did live up to its hype. My only gripe with it would be the small portions and the difficulty to get a reservation. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience and would come back for special occasions with family and friends. With such premium ingredients, this restaurant is definitely worth a shot.And Tipo Pasta Bar is a Muslim-Owned restaurant. #singapore #foodie #westernfoodBan Mohamed25

New Food Street @ Arab street#2023travelwish #tripblazers Love the newly opened food street at the Arab street. There are few stalls selling a range of foods. From desserts to sandwiches to finger foods. There is always a long queue at the stall selling puff. They have an assortment of puff for you to choose from. They have the black pepper beef puff, lamb puff, sardine puff, and the authentic curry potato puff. Be sure to try out there as the prices are affordable. The puff starts from 2 bucks onwards. My 2023 travel wish is to fly to Malaysia to try out their authentic puff. I especially love the curry puff at the mid valley mall. I do love to shop at the aeon mall to pick up some finger foods and grab them back to the hotel to enjoy.J3p8y5wj7hyj10

A must visit place for Muslim friends, with soo many delicious halal food options.
Very Arab-style place, even the restaurant is open by many Arabs, and there are paintings to draw. It’s cool.
Arab Street is a vibrant and colorful district in Singapore, filled with great places to shop, eat, and explore. I recently had the pleasure of spending a few hours exploring this area and I was amazed at how much there was to do. From the beautiful architecture, to the amazing street food, to the unique boutiques, I was pleasantly surprised at how alive the area felt.The best part of Arab Street is the array of food options. There are so many delicious restaurants to choose from, all serving up flavorful and authentic dishes. My favorite was the noodle shop that had some of the best Pad Thai I'd ever tasted. The venue also had a wide selection of international flavors, from Indian curries to Lebanese wraps.Apart from the food, the boutiques and souvenir shops are also worth exploring. The colorful displays of jewelry, clothing, and other knick-knacks are a delight to look at and the prices are also very reasonable. I was also delighted to find a small hookah bar, which added a touch of Middle Eastern charm to the area.In conclusion, Arab Street is a great place to visit if you're looking for some interesting sights and delicious food. Whether it's shopping, eating, or discovering something new, you can find something to do here. Highly recommended!
