Culture and cuisine in the CBD

Enjoy the four Cs when you stay at Capri by Fraser, China Square / Singapore - a modern hotel in the heritage district. Namely: CBD, Culture, Cuisine and Connectivity. Being smack in the middle of Chinatown, in the heart of the business district, means there’s much to see, do and eat, without having to venture far.

Even if you need to, public transportation is a breeze with Chinatown, Telok Ayer and Raffles Place MRT stations a short walk away. 

Chinatown

Chinatown

“Street food” doesn’t come close to describing the mind-boggling variety of delicious and affordable options at the Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre. The ground floor is where clothes, shoes and other knick-knacks are sold, while the upper floor is home to hundreds of hawker stalls.

Farther up the road is another iconic “makan” (eating) place with equally famous hawker names – Maxwell Food Centre – where the much-loved Tian Tian Chicken Rice stall is located.

Telok Ayer

Just opposite Capri by Fraser, China Square is the Telok Ayer and Amoy Street dining enclave. Amoy Street Food Centre is home to two storeys of amazing hawker fare, while Michelin-starred and other fine-dining restaurants
line both Amoy and Telok Ayer streets.

Cultural charm

The Chinatown district offers a fascinating glimpse into Singapore’s culture, history and architecture. Some of the shophouses around Capri by Fraser, China Square are exquisite examples of pre-war design and mainly tenanted by restaurants, bars and offices. Traditional medical halls, clan associations and coffee shops add to the fascinating mix.

Among them are examples of Singapore’s multi-religious harmony, such as the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Masjid Jamae (Chulia) Mosque and Sri Mariamman Temple – all along South Bridge Road. Parallel to them on the smaller
Telok Ayer Street are the Thian Hock Keng Temple, Masjid Al-Abrar and Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church.  

Clarke Quay

When the sun goes down, Clarke Quay by the Singapore River beckons with its vibrant entertainment and dining. These refurbished warehouses are now home to stylish waterfront restaurants, bars and clubs, such as Jumbo Seafood, famous for its chilli crab. Get your heart pumping with the GX-5 Extreme Swing and Reverse Bungy, or opt for a more soothing scenic river cruise. 

City Hall

City Hall is just a short train ride or drive away from Capri by Fraser, China Square. For culture buffs, cross the road to the Singapore Parliament and the National Gallery Singapore, which faces the historic Padang, which houses the largest public collection of modern art in Southeast Asia.

The National Gallery is itself a sight to behold, housed in the fully restored Supreme Court and City Hall, and turned into a lifestyle destination of culture, heritage and cuisine for everyone to enjoy.
