Description 

Rediscover one of the oldest housing estates in Singapore

Tiong Bahru Estate is one of the oldest housing estates in Singapore. It was the first project undertaken by the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT), a government administered by the British colonial authority, to provide for mass public housing in Singapore. The estate consists about 30 apartment blocks with a total of nearly 900 units. The apartment blocks are made up of two to five-storey flats and the units are assorted three to five-room apartments.

Experience traditional businesses in a 52-year old neighbourhood

Tanglin Halt oozes an old world charm with its old provisions shops, barbers, traditional medicine halls, etc. The Neighbourhood Centre comprises 28 shop units arranged around a quadrangle and 163 stalls in the wet market. A shopping centre containing a hawker centre and three rows of shophouses was added later in 1967.

Immerse yourself in an old tradtional medicine shop

The Poh Onn Tong Medical shop is where you can spot the iconic traditional wooden cabinet which stores herbs. Each drawer holds nine tins of herbs!
