We already recognise Joo Chiat as one hip neighbourhood. However, this eastern enclave seems to be becoming an even more popular spot now, thanks to a revival that has witnessed the emergence of numerous trendy eateries and lifestyle spots of late. In just three months, we’ve seen the fashion label Rye move into the area, and the extremely chic paint shop-meets-lifestyle space Basa Goods set up shop in the vicinity. They join the already hot favourite joints in the area, such as the pasta haven Forma and watering holes like Common Man Coffee Roasters and Wine Mouth. Ahead, we curate a list of cool places to swing by the next time you’re in the hood.
