A creative cluster for Singapore at the old Nan Chiau High School. A cluster that holds many cafes, restaurants and home grown brands. There is a playground near the carpark and many cafes are pet-friendly. Dropped by Dearborn Cafe at New Bahru. Famed for its granola, cafe is quite crowded in the afternoon.

🎒The Seongsu-dong vibe in Singapore, New Bahru “A place like this in the heart of Singapore? New Bahru is a space that feels like Seongsu-dong in Seoul. It’s filled with local brands, cafes, workshops, and even playgrounds inside an old school building! It truly deserves to be called the Singaporean version of Seongsu-dong.” 🏫 An old school turned into a trendy space New Bahru was originally **Nan Chiau High School**, established in the 1960s. Now, it has been transformed into a creative space featuring stylish local brands while preserving the old classrooms, auditorium, and hallways. The retro exterior combined with modern aesthetics exudes a strong Seongsu-dong vibe! 🥐 Local eateries & aesthetic cafes galore This place gathers Singapore’s hottest local brands all in one spot. For example: 🥘 Artichoke – Middle Eastern-style brunch spot 🍛 Kotuwa – Sri Lankan fusion dining ☕️ Dearborn – Handmade granola & cafe 🧁 The Coconut Club – Coconut dessert specialty shop Every corner boasts aesthetic interiors that make you want to snap photos, reminiscent of Seongsu-dong’s bakery cafe alleys! 👒 A space for shopping, experiences, and play It’s not just about cafes; there are also spaces for activities like handmade candle-making and natural soap workshops. Fashion and home-living shops mostly feature Singaporean local brands, making it fun to explore. There’s even a play area with trampolines for kids, making it a great spot for family visits! 🐾 A pet-friendly healing space The outdoor terrace and walking areas are pet-friendly, making it a recommended spot for those looking for places to visit with their furry friends. They even sell dog-friendly ice cream and snacks 🐶

I spent the morning visiting Singapore's New Bahru Cultural and Creative Park There is art even at the corner of the stairs There are more than 40 local independent brands in Singapore. You will find many brands including Sea Apple, GINLEE, and SOJAO, which are conveying the concepts of environmental protection, innovation, and sustainable development.

Love how @loandbehold___ transformed this old school building into a design-focused F&B, shopping, and art space. It’s very much like PMQ in Hong Kong but more modern! I had a few spots in mind to try, and I managed to visit @dearborn.newbahru and @atipicosingapore (I want to try for years but their first shop is in Sunset Way). I preferred the latter— the space was much comfier, and their cakes were absolutely delicious. Don’t miss out on the St. Honore! However, I didn’t quite understand the high prices, small portions, and limited dining time (only 1 hour) at Dear Born. We felt like we were being watched; the moment we put down our fork and knife, our plates were whisked away. It was pretty stressful. I hope to visit New Bahru again to try Odem, a modern Korean cuisine spot 😋 #foodie #instafood #singapore #newbahru#myhiddengems
