Singapore Tiong Bahru Photo Gallery

Tiong Bahru is a low-rise residential area not far from the CBD. Being the country's first public housing project in the 1930s, it has been gentrified in recent years into a hip and trendy community with its interesting Art Deco buildings.

With a fresh coat of paint, these buildings don't look so old after all.

Gone are many traditional shops and restaurants. It seems this community has gone high-end.

When they start putting up murals for tourists, perhaps the historic community can't turn back anymore.

Residents in these historic lowrises keep their shoes out in the hallways and beautify the surroundings.

Meanwhile, redevelopment creeps around the corner.

Tiong Bahru Market is both a place to get groceries and cooked food. I headed upstairs to try out the non air-conditioned food court with so many stalls to choose from.

Cars get a great view at the rooftop parking lot.
