CHIJMES (pronounced ‘chimes’) started as a convent girls’ school and orphanage in 1854. The convent was closed in 1983 and declared a National Heritage Site. Today, CHIJMES is an attraction that offers an exciting dining, shopping, leisure and entertainment experience. CHIJMES Hall, the restored chapel, provides a spectacular backdrop for musicals, recitals and other theatrical performances. One of the last few cloistered convents in the world, the fine Gothic architecture offers a great photographic opportunity and is well worth a visit.

No trip to Singapore is complete without sampling its world-renowned local dishes in a ‘Hawker’ setting. Although every local will swear by their own favourite ‘makan’ (eating) places, visitors in the city-centre can head to these colourful outdoor eateries to sample Singapore specialties such as Hainanese chicken rice (Singapore’s national dish), nasi lemak, fried kway teow and laksa, to name but a few! Here’s a tip – always look for the stall with the longest queue, which means the food is great!

Another iconic Hawker market located close to Singapore’s main shopping district. Built in 1971 and once a rough-and-ready late-night haunt, the centre was relaunched in 2006 as a brighter and more modern establishment. Thankfully many of the centre’s original hawkers are still touting famous local delights such as oyster omelette and popiah to the throngs of hungry crowds daily.
