I was recently asked during a live interview on Channel News Asia what I wrote about Singapore’s Chinatown. While I don’t want to spoil the suspense, here are some snapshots taken during a filming along the labyrinth of alleys for the vlog show, Fiction Frenzy. Chinatown is also one of the most thrilling scenes in Smokescreen. Remember, this is a thriller, not a tourist guide book so expect the unexpected. Actually, I have, in fact left, a clue…
On the other hand, if I was a tourist guide, I’d say don’t give this place a miss if you ever visit Singapore. Plenty of souvenir shops to gawk at, lots of eateries to savor Singapore dishes and you can even make a quick suit at a tailor shop. If you are feeling thirsty, stop for a coconut drink or get your health checked by a Sinseh or a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
And a must visit is the grand Buddha Tooth Relic Temple just beside Chinatown. I’d suggest you start at the temple and then proceed to explore the alleyways of shops.
