The 10 Best Things to do in Duxton Hill, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

We came to Tea Chapter to look for Zisha teapots manufactured in Yixing, China. The shop has a nice range of Zisha and porcelain teapots to brew Chinese tea leaves. Some of the Zisha teapots have certificates of authenticity from the craftsmen while others do not. Prices vary, depending on the skills of the craftsmen. The shop has a good variety of Chinese tea leaves. Small canisters provide customers with the smell of tea leaves. Staff Angie and May Eng explained the different tea leaves to my wife and me. They also helped us with the teapots. Both were patient with our enquiries. Located along Neil Road, the Peranakan styled shophouse is well designed in complementary traditional decor that suits the old-world charm of Chinese tea trading business. Tea leaves and tea ware are neatly displayed for browsing and purchase.

A friend who created his own perfume with Johanna recommended me to go and try a workshop at Maison 21G. Since I've always liked to learn and create things with my own hands, and the workshop was quite affordable, I jumped on the occasion. Loved it from beginning to end. Johanna is so passionate, she taught me more than I could hope for about perfume and scents and the impact it has on you and the people around you. Also she was super friendly and made me feel at home. Which is litterally what "Maison" means in French ahah. Highly recommend !!

Chinatown comprises four precincts-Telok Ayer, Kreta Ayer, Bukit Pasoh and Tanjong Pagar. Tanjong Pagar MRT station is a very convenient starting point for exploration of Tanjong Pagar precinct. This station has a great varieties of cafes and restaurants. My favourite coffee break stop is at the Guzman Y Gomez where most kinds of barista coffee costs $2 with a large public seating space just outside the cafe. Tanjong Pagar Food Centre offers a cheap option for local food. A walk here include admiring the shophouses along Tras Street, Tangjong Pagar Road, Craig Road, Duxton Road and Duxton Hill. Duxton Road used to be popular for its opium and gambling dens and cheap brothels due to its proximity to Jinrikisha Station. However nowadays it is popular for its restaurants and hotels. A lovely bookshop, Littered with Books, is also worth a look here. Duxton Hill is a tranquil, cobblestoned road lined with restaurants located in lovely conserved shophouses with its gorgeous gardens. There is a well-known second hand shop in Craig Road which claims to "buy junks & sell antiques". Ballad of Anna May, located at 42 Craig Road, is the first coffee specialty shop in Singapore to bring in Proud Mary beans. The most outstanding building along Tanjong Pagar Road is Jinrikisha Station which was built in 1903. In 2007, Hong Kong movie superstar, Jackie Chan, bought this property for $11 million. A short street linking Tanjong Pagar Road and Tras Street is Cook Street. At the junction is a four-storey apartment block built in 1937 in the Modernism style. It was designed by HR Arbenz who has an engineering background. Another short parallel street is Murray Street with the Murray Terrace, an Art Deco streetblock with exposed brickwork and unique lion head rain spouts. It was built in 1929 and consists of 14 shophouses.

A quaint little bookshop with human touch. I was looking for a book suitable for my niece, the staff was very helpful and enthusiastic in making various recommendations. In the end, I picked up a book which is very well received by my niece, so kudos to the staff. They did a lovely job wrapping up the book as well. Love this bookshop because it gives off a family cosy feel instead of the usual squeaky clean feel at the chains. Probably make people feel like reading even if one is a non-reader.
