#MirindaRiangRayaBersamaSama
Singapore is best known as a bustling, concrete metropolis. Thereâs always something new to do, to experience, to explore⊠but for those of us caught up in todayâs whirlwind of hustle culture, we may be nostalgic for the peacefulness of days gone by. Is it possible, in todayâs day and age, to find pockets of the city where you can actually take a breath?
Turns out⊠Yes! From timeworn shophouses painted in pastel hues to charming retro boutiques to flavours that have stood the test of time, every corner of Singapore holds echoes of the past waiting to be rediscovered. So where can you visit the past while staying firmly rooted in the present?
Firstly, the neighbourhood of Katong-Joo Chiat has become synonymous with those seeking an immersive experience steeped in Peranakan culture. The blend of traditional and modern elements invites you to experience a chapter of Singaporeâs history while enjoying the comforts of today, and for a stay that lets you truly soak in the heritage, Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is the ideal spot to rest your head.
Inspired by the history of the surrounding neighbourhood, this hotel beautifully blends modern luxury with local heritage, steeped in vibrant Baba Nyonya-inspired design with a stunning rooftop pool offering panoramic views of the district.
From there, if you get more curious about what traditional Peranakan culture looked like, both Rumah Bebe and the Katong Antique House are perfect places to check out. Here, history isnât just preserved, but woven into every fabric and ornament, offering a glimpse into a culture rich in craftsmanship and storytelling. You will truly feel like a time traveller, looking at old photographs of generations of Babas and Bibiks while admiring the intricately beaded slippers and delicately crafted crockery of another era.
But what if you want to picture yourself in history, not just look at it? Well, for a gorgeous bespoke kebaya of your very own, Rumah Kim Choo is where you need to go. There, fashion designer Raymond Wong â also a beadwork and embroidery practitioner â creates beautiful traditional clothing and carries on the legacy of the houseâs founder, his paternal Peranakan grandmother, Nyonya Lee Kim Choo. Additionally, they also sell homemade savoury rice dumplings alongside nyonya kueh sampling sessions, and host walking trails so you can burn off all the snacks!
Speaking of food⊠No nostalgic journey is complete without delicious delights that carry history in its flavours. For the afternoon adventurers, at 328 Katong Laksa, you can experience a dish that has been a cornerstone of Singaporean culinary heritage for decades. With each spicy, warm spoonful of thick, white vermicelli noodles, youâll feel totally transported.
Alternatively, if youâre an early bird, look no further than Chin Mee Chin Confectionery for an old-school breakfast experience. Its Hae bi hiam buns, cream horns, and fluffy chiffon cakes are classic treats from the past that still hit just as hard today.
Singaporeâs past isnât the only place you can explore. In fact, for a trip to the old-school Big Apple, check out Choice Cuts Pizza & Records; while the outlet itself is fairly modern, music aficionados can find a range of classic vinyl records on sale for a soundtrack to life that isnât via streaming. While youâre at it, why not also grab a cuppa joe and a bagel or a classic slice of New York-style pizza?
Then, for a worldwide glimpse into yesteryear, A Vintage Tale offers an eclectic mix of retro collectibles and nostalgic treasures, each piece with a story to tell. This boutique transports you to the golden eras of style with its carefully curated collection of vintage dresses, accessories, and statement pieces that radiate the beauty of the past.
Meanwhile, a little ways to the west, you can find a blend of culture, creativity, and culinary delights in the Tanjong Pagar area. With its mix of classic charm and contemporary flair, itâs a space that nurtures curiosity and creative thinking. From thought-provoking museums to hidden book nooks, every corner offers opportunities to reignite your passion and use history to reimagine possibilities in your own life.
When it comes to where to stay, Claude Hotel offers a tranquil escape from the cityâs hustle and bustle, with its rooms carefully designed to celebrate and refresh the typical shophouse architecture. Its prime location also puts you just steps away from the neighbourhoodâs best spots, making it the perfect base for the rest of your adventures.
You can start your true tour of Singaporeâs history at the Singapore City Gallery; not only can you glimpse a massive model replica of the City Centre, you can also check out Lee Xin Liâs awesome illustrative map that shows exactly how the past and present exist seamlessly.
Then, to see a cornerstone of Singaporean history, visit the Thian Hock Keng Temple. Built in 1839, it has seen the Chinese community through social welfare, marriages, housing arrangements, and funeral services throughout the decades, and â thanks to restoration efforts â still stands almost exactly as it did at its newest.
From there, you can head over to Tong Mern Sern Antiques Arts & Crafts, a well-known antiques spot in a yet-to-be refurbished shophouse on Craig Road. It stands out amongst the modern buildings that surround it, and deep inside at the very back, youâll also find Art Deco and Peranakan goodies that are being carefully restored by experts.
With all that exploring, you might need a calm, mindful break, and tea connoisseurs will adore the Yixing Xuan Teahouse, where you can learn how to prepare Chinese tea in the traditional manner as well as the culture and history behind it. Each workshop takes a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 25, so if youâre travelling as a couple or in a big group, you can all enjoy the experience.
Finally, you can wrap up your wandering with a literary exploration. Littered with Books is a charming indie bookstore tucked inside a quaint shophouse, offering two cosy floors filled with a curated selection of reads. So while you may not be able to actually travel through time, you may find a book or two that transports you into another ageâŠ
Singaporeâs past isnât confined to history books; it lives in its streets, flavours, and the experiences waiting to be uncovered. So as you plan your next journey, donât just chase new adventures. Rediscover the ones that have been waiting for you all along. Let nostalgia guide you, let culture inspire you, and let the Lion Cityâs timeless charm remind you why travel is, at its core, about feeling connected to a place, a moment, and a story still unfolding.

In honour of Irelandâs patron saint, thereâs no better way to celebrate than by raising a perfectly poured Guinnessâthe Irish Stout for St. Patrick’s.
Kicking off the nationwide rollout, Guinness pulled out all the stops with an Irish takeover at The Square, Jaya One, and a grand parade led by a spectacular 30-piece ensemble of drummers, 2 bagpipers, and Irish step dancers. This set the stage for an electrifying, high-energy celebration of its rich Irish heritage.
Fans are invited to experience the true magic of St. Patrickâs at participating outlets where
camaraderie, music, and the smooth taste of Guinness come together. With every sip and every SlĂĄinte (Irish for âcheersâ), fans will be transported to the heart of Irish culture. When it comes to St. Patrickâs, thereâs only one way to do it rightâso make it a smooth, creamy Guinness for this celebration.
Guinness is spreading Irish charm across Malaysia, turning 40 pubs and bars nationwide into vibrant hubs of celebration from now until the end of the month. Fans can look forward to exciting games and fun activities amid the spirit of togetherness.
âGuinness has been the true companion of choice for St. Patrickâs Day for decades.

List Of Participating Outlets Nationwide:
There are five healthy snack brands to keep a lookout for during the upcoming Boutiques Singapore: The Spring Summer Edition happening from 21 â 23 March.
From plant-based and sugar-free treats to nutrient-rich instant noodles, these homegrown brands are here to offer you delectable, guilt-free treats to indulge in.
Jammyâs: Plant-based gelatos and gummy bearsÂ
When you think of gelato or gummy bears, you might associate them with heaps of sugar and unnecessary additives. However, with Jammyâs you can enjoy these treats worry-free! Their sweet treats are vegan-friendly and made with low-carb ingredients, designed to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your blood glucose steady to keep you on-track with your weight loss goals.
The founder of the brand, J, was first inspired by her personal journey to break free from sugar addiction. From needing 4 sachets of sugar in her lattes to now only having black coffee, J discovered the transformative power of cutting out refined sugars and unhealthy additives. Now joined by her sister, the sister-duo are committed to changing the way sweet treats are made and consumed.
Exclusive launches such as the Acai Sundae Bowl and Coconut Coffee Sundae will make their way to Boutiques Singapore this year. Jammyâs will also be debuting their new product line â Cookie Bites â available in 3 flavours, Pandan Coconut Cashew, Coffee Hazelnut, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt.
Crookies: Less than 50 calories per piece
A cross between a crisp cracker and a decadent cookie, Crookies is a unique fusion snack that offers a flavourful and guilt-free alternative to traditional snacks. With bold and adventurous flavours like Chilli, Black Pepper, Ginger & Apricot and Lemongrass, Crookies draws inspiration from diverse cuisines and cultures, offering something new for your palate.
Each Crookie is less than 50 calories, and is crafted with natural, hand-selected ingredients, completely free from refined sugars, preservatives, and additives â making it a healthy treat that is still satisfying.
Super Farmers: Sin-free Instant noodles
For busy urbanites, instant noodles may be the only convenient choice, but despite their convenience, they lack the nutritional values that todayâs health-conscious consumers desire. Super Farmers is on a quest to change that, as they aim to help Singaporeans eat healthier.
The brand was founded out of a deeply personal experience when its founder, Cynthea, nearly lost her daughter to a preventable food-related allergy. This eye-opening ordeal sparked her mission to create nourishing and more transparent food options in the industry.
Apart from offering caffeine-free teas and other wellness products, Super Farmers have also developed instant noodles where their seasoning packets are nutrient-packed, instead of being loaded with MSG and additives. At Boutiques Singapore, they are returning with new flavours of their Super Farmers NOODS, such as Kimchi and Curry.
YU (汿) Cookies: Made with sugar-conscious recipes
YU (汿) Cookies is a brand that proves cookies no longer have to be a guilty pleasure anymore. Their cookies are made with sugar-conscious recipes and patented technology that ensures slower sugar release, without compromising on taste. Founded in 2023 by three NUS food scientists, YU (汿) Cookies is committed to creating delicious and eco-friendly treats. Each item is packaged in durable metal tins that can be reused for storage, or upcycled into stylish organisers.
Their bestsellers include their Buttery Coffee Macadamia Cookies, where rich, aromatic coffee is paired with crunchy Australian macadamia nuts for a satisfying pick-me-up. For those who enjoy lighter, floral flavours, their Lychee Rose Cookies offer delicate notes of sweet lychee and fragrant rose. Meanwhile, their low-GI certified Tangerine Lychee Rose Cookies deliver a vibrant citrus burst, balanced with the deep, earthy notes of Pu-Erh tea.

Friday 14 March 2025 – HaadThip Public Company Limited (HTC) is bullish about its business outlook for 2025, targeting a revenue growth of 5-7%, with projected sales reaching 8.7 billion baht. The company also plans to distribute the final dividend for 2024 of 0.57 baht per share, reinforcing its reputation as a strong dividend stock with a yield of 6%. Looking ahead, the goal is to achieve continued revenue growth, targeting 15 billion baht by 2032. This will be accomplished by maintaining market leadership in the Southern Thailand sparkling beverage segment, expanding the still beverage portfolio, and introducing innovative, consumer-centric products from Coca-Cola. Concurrently, the company is dedicated to sustainability, ensuring that its growth aligns with its commitments to social development and environmental sustainability.
Major General Patchara Rattakul, Chief Executive Officer of HaadThip Public Company Limited, the manufacturer and distributor of Coca-Cola beverages in 14 southern provinces of Thailand, shared the company’s 2025 business outlook, expecting robust growth, with a 5-7% increase in sales revenue, totaling 8.7 billion baht. For 2024, HaadThip sustained 4% growth, reporting 602 million baht in net profit, an increase of 4 million baht (0.6%) compared to 2023. On March 7, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the payment of the final dividend for 2024 of 0.57 baht per share. Combined with the interim dividend of 0.48 baht per share paid in September 2024, the total dividend payout for 2024 amounts to 1.05 baht per share, yielding a dividend of 6%
“We are confident that 2025 will be another strong year for HaadThip. The Bank of Thailand projects the Southern Thai economy to grow by 3.1 – 4.1%, driven by agricultural recovery, tourism, and export-oriented manufacturing, subsequently boosting consumer purchasing power. As the market leader in the non-alcoholic beverage market, HaadThip will further strengthen its market executions, particularly in fast-growing channels like Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes (HoReCa). Our new returnable glass bottle line not only aligns with the rising demand for reduced plastic usage but also presents a premium product appearance. Additionally, we are working with Coca-Cola to launch new products, especially in the rapidly expanding zero sugar category, which currently accounts for only 5% of total sales. Our latest offering of ‘Coke’ Zero Vanilla, for example, has received an overwhelmingly positive response,” said Major General Patchara.
In its medium and long-term strategy, HaadThip aspires to foster growth and sustain its leadership in the non-alcoholic ready-to-drink (NARTD) market in Southern Thailand. Presently, the company commands a 25% market share in this region and aims to elevate this share to 30% by 2027 and 35% by 2032.
Furthermore, HaadThip places a high priority on sustainability, striving to foster a business that grows in harmony with societal development while minimizing environmental impact. This year, the company aims to increase the share of energy derived from renewable sources to 25% of its total energy consumption in the production process, with a long-term goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. In terms of packaging sustainability, the company plans to expand its glass bottle business to reduce its reliance on plastic packaging. Additionally, it is committed to collaborating with Coca-Cola and partner organizations to collect and recycle packaging in the Southern region. Currently, discussions are underway with Coca-Cola and partner organizations to establish appropriate targets and timelines, with the project anticipated to launch within this year.
“Throughout the past decade, we have navigated numerous challenges and successfully emerged stronger each time. I firmly believe that our journey over the past 55 years has unequivocally demonstrated HaadThip’s unwavering commitment to conducting business hand in hand with the communities of Southern Thailand and the broader Thai society, fostering robust growth while upholding our responsibilities to both society and the environment. This steadfast dedication has always been the cornerstone of our company’s business philosophy,” concluded Major General Patchara.
