[2025 Singapore Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Chinatown Point (Updated Apr)

This public library at Chinatown in Singapore is located on the 4th floor of Chinatown Point. This unique library stands out as the first public library in Singapore run by volunteers. One of its distinctive features is a dedicated section for Chinese dialects, catering to the diverse linguistic heritage of the community. The interior design of the library embraces traditional aesthetics, featuring wooden Chinese carvings that create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. This thoughtful design makes it a serene space for reading and learning. #singaporetrip

In the heart of Singapore’s heritage neighbourhood, Chinatown, you will find many places bustling during the mid autumn Mooncake Festival! If you are looking for a cultural evening out, I recommend you take a nice walk along the streets near Chinatown Point shopping mall and experience the vibrant atmosphere. Many pop-up stalls have been set up selling mooncakes from different popular brands like Shisen Hanten. There are also a variety of dining options here such as Aburi-EN, Peach Garden and Genki Sushi! Interestingly, the top floor has a full-sized library if that’s a place you enjoy visiting. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #citywalk #singapore #tripmoments #tripblazers

#citywalk Address - 133 New Bridge Rd, #01-27/28 Chinatown Point, Singapore 059413 Highlights - Traditional mooncakes, bakery, cakes During the evening my husband brought me to the Chinatown point. It was the right time as we can do last minute shopping for mooncakes. I love the traditional mooncake in yam and durian flavour by breadtalk. The store at the Chinatown point is big. One side is catered to bread and cakes, while the other side is catered to mooncakes. A new product that caught our eyes. Our favorite momoji comes in two different flavours. Both are our favorites too. The black sesame and the peanut butter taste. We bought each to try out and we love the taste. We do love some of their freshly baked buns too.

#singapore Chinatown point is the mall you should look out for when you are staying in the Chinatown area, or shopping in that area. It is a mall with all you need with many dining restaurants. There are many retail outlets and even a supermarket. For this year mid autumn festive season the Chinatown point has put up a rabbit mascot at the entrance of their mall. It is a huge mascot that will definitely catch your attention when you are walking in that area. Be sure to visit the Chinatown point during the evening so that you can catch a good glimpse of the mascot. You can take beautiful pictures with the mascot and share with your friends.

#yearofrabbit I like visiting Chinatown Point. It has many restaurants which my wife and I love. I also like the entrance of Chinatown Point with its big screen and neon signboard. We recently visited Chinatown Point during Chinese New Year and it was decorated with many cute zodiac mascots. Thus, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to take photos of them. It was very nicely decorated.

Having cravings for a good steamboat but find that steamboat like beauty in a pot, hai di lao is abot off your budget? Head to Taikoo Lane hotpot where they have really good soup bases to begin with and have offers and discounts of up to 50% if you book thru certain apps. They also have a huge row of condiments for you to mix and match to your liking, dishes are also ala carte base where you will be given thinly sliced meats to deep into the broth provided. Meat quality here is surpsingly comparable to other upscale steamboat outlets but just at a price friendly option! They only have an outlet here in chinatown point, so if you are around chinatown do drop by! #celebratewithtrip #foodie #steamboat #chinatown #chinatownpoint #chinesecuisine #restaurants

#meetsingapore The lantern festival at Chinatown and without fail, there will always be lantern decorations here. If you walk towards Chinatown Point, you will also get to see many rabbits on display too. In fact, these rabbit displays were being featured on the news for the wrong reasons. These rabbit displays were faceless and emotionless and some took it as a bad omen. However, it was meant to be a contest to design the rabbit. So everyone can try to design the rabbit and the winning entry will be drawn on to the rabbit faces. At the same time, there were more lanterns displayed at Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens for the same lantern festival. It is a joyous celebration in Singapore but it is not a public holiday here.

#meetsingapore Address: 133 New Bridge Rd, Singapore 059413 Nearest MRT: Chinatown MRT There are always some sort of arts exhibition ongoing on the ground level at Chinatown point. When I was there, there was an arts and handicraft bazaar ongoing. Some stall owners are students selling their handicraft works. Their items are very pretty and it might seem to be slightly expensive. I would think that it is a good initiative to support their interests. This shopping mall is located inside a busy area and right at Chinatown MRT. So the influx of shoppers are high and it is also not easy to attract attention when there are many retail shops in this area.

133 New Bridge Road, Chinatown Point, Singapore 059413 The Mid Autumn festival is a festive season where we consume mooncake and have a cup of tea with our friends and loved ones.

Chinatown point, the heart of the Chinese landmark, has a different contest each year to celebrate this season. This year, they have organised a lantern painting competition. The shortlisted beautiful artistic hand painted lanterns are showcased at the atrium of Chinatown point, to honour their hardwork and participation in these special events.

It is very sweet yet yummy. The packaging looks great, and is definitely a good gift for your friends kids. There is also dried squid available in the store. It is my next favourite from the store. It is hard to find dried squid snacks in Singapore and this is one of those who retails at an affordable price. #mustdo

#musteat The Flour Department Address: 531 Upper Cross St, #02-57A, Singapore 050531 A lovely entrepreneur with all her baking creations and her monthly menu is always changing. So it is worth coming back and checking out her new menu. From home based cooking to a shop front in Chinatown Point. I am loving her french pastries with local twist. She has a monthly theme for her bake and you can check it out on her IG and do pre-order. The current theme is on Singapore National Day and you can use her IG shopping cart link to order. Self collection is free and you can also opt for delivery and pay extra too. Try out her new Durian MSW Puff on a tart. It is definitely worth the calories.

This is my first time trying a “Gochi So Shokudo”that’s not located at Jewel. I still like the environment of the jewel one better. We came here to dine as it was near Clan Hotel and Gochi So Shokudo is famous for their iberico pork. More commonly known as black pork. This time I ordered the shabu shabu with iberico pork. I believe it’s a seasonal special and I think it taste decent for the price. The soup broth is soy milk and taste like a mixture of tonkotsu, I like that it tasted thick and the amount of pork slice given was decent enough for its price. The other dish we ordered was the usual iberico pork collar. I think the shabu shabu and iberico pork is worth the try. However, something I noticed about both outlets now is that there are usually enough seats however you may spend some time waiting.

#dateideas #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences Song Fa Bak Kut Teh Chinatown Point Address:133 New Bridge Rd, #01-04, Singapore 059413 Must order: of course Bak Kut Teh My #dateideas started with a staycation at The Clan. It is not far at all, about 7-8mins walk from The Clan. I went to The Clan on a weekend so there were not many food options nearby. I chose Song Fa BKT for our dinner date because I knew about their free soup refill. I brought my date to Chinatown Point for some shopping at Daiso to decorate our room at The Clan. It was our anniversary celebration. Then we also toured around Chinatown, visited Pagoda street, Telok Ayer street, Buddha tooth relic temple and Sri Marimman temple. We took many beautiful photos too. Finally we walked back to Chinatown Point for our BKT dinner. We ordered a sharing portion and our soup always had refills. It was indeed an enjoyable date-cation.

Got it! Here's your blog post without any bold formatting: --- Kyoto Ha Chicken Singapore – Comfort Food with a Kyoto Twist Ramen with a whole chicken leg? Say no more. We finally got to try Kyoto Ha Chicken, the much-anticipated Singapore outpost of Kyoto’s famed Hachikian—a well-loved eatery that’s been serving up soulful chicken and duck dishes since 1970. While we missed it during our last trip to Kyoto, we were thrilled to experience a taste of it right here at Chinatown Point. And let’s just say—it did not disappoint. ### A Bowl That Warms You from the Inside Out We went straight for the Chicken Miso Ramen Special, and yes—it came with an entire chicken leg. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, soaking up the rich miso broth that was comforting, umami-packed, and perfectly balanced (not too salty!). It’s the kind of bowl you crave on a rainy day—or any day, really. What sets their ramen apart is the clean, flavourful stock made from a blend of chicken and kelp—no pork, no lard. It’s lighter than your usual tonkotsu, but still deeply satisfying. You also get to choose your chashu: chicken thigh, chicken breast, or duck breast. A thoughtful touch that caters to different preferences and diets. ### What We Tried We didn’t stop at just ramen. Here’s what we ordered: - Seasonal Special Tantan Noodles - Chicken Miso Ramen Special (with whole chicken leg) - Spicy Chicken Karaage - Egg Pudding - Berries Smoothie The Seasonal Tantan Noodles had a rich, creamy sesame base with a nice spicy kick that lingered just right. But the real star? The Spicy Chicken Karaage. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and glazed in a punchy sauce with a hint of citrus. It was so addictive, we’d come back just for that. To end the meal, we had the Egg Pudding—smooth, silky, and served with caramel and berries—and a refreshing Berries Smoothie to cool things down after all the savory richness. ### Atmosphere We also loved the space itself. It’s bright and welcoming, with vibrant red Torii gates that immediately give you that Kyoto vibe as soon as you step inside. It’s casual, calming, and perfect for a satisfying meal that doesn’t weigh you down. ### Final Thoughts If you’re in the Chinatown area and craving something hearty yet clean, Kyoto Ha Chicken is absolutely worth checking out. It’s comfort food with a Kyoto twist—and it hits all the right notes.
