Nestled in a corner of Singapore’s oldest red light district, Bellwethers Bistro Bar adds a modern touch to the culturally rich enclave of Little India.

Bellwethers Bistro Bar emphasizes simplicity in its design and focuses on allowing you to bask in the edgy and unpretentious cultural heritage of the locale.

Located just on the fringe of the city, Desker Road is a quirky and unconventional neighborhood rich in history and full of color. The appeal lies in its raw, edgy feel and the idiosyncratic characters who form the backdrop of this unique environment.

This avant-garde neighborhood transports you out of the immaculate, pristine, constructed city that Singapore has long been both highly acclaimed and maligned for. Away from the tall skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls, Desker Road is lined with beautifully restored shophouses that exude a quaint Peranakan charm. Bellwethers’ goal is to create a quirky and offbeat watering hole away from the humdrum of Singapore’s concrete jungle and bring cool to this charming hidden gem.

Enjoy a casual evening over ice-cold beer, sip on their signature cocktails or chat up strangers in an unpretentious setting.

Cup N Canvas recently opened on Selegie Road.

Synonymous with its name, Cups N Canvas is all about the harmony of art and coffee, in a café-studio setting coupled with elements of fun, vibrancy and homeliness.

Its name was born out of an artist’s personal experience, where he often finds himself late at night, surrounded with empty cups of coffee around his work table while furiously painting away on a canvas due for submission. This sight is all too familiar for the avid artists out there.

Cups N Canvas welcomes anyone who simply enjoys artisanal coffee and good old comfort food to drop by this nesting place, located along the extended arts belt of the city. With its rustic charm as seen from its cozy interior, Cups N Canvas seeks to revive the creative and fun-loving side of you, who may be robotized by the fast-paced, mundane city-dwelling lives from time to time.

From 5 seemingly different individuals with diverse backgrounds: a compulsive artist, a star architect, a veteran designer and 2 business graduates in their early 20s, there came an uncanny desire to share their love for art, coffee and food. Hence, the idea of a café-studio began its conceptualization which came to realization when the space of an old conservatory shop house was available.

Drop by for some seriously good coffee, comfort food and have a go at your artistic potential.

The Dorsett Regency Hotel and Dorsett Residences located in the historic district of Chinatown, Singapore offers a unique experience of new urbanism set in contrast against the old fabric of Chinatown pre-war shop houses intertwined in a district rich in Chinese culture, tradition and heritage. The mixed use development comprises hotel, commercial shops and residential. The ten-storey 285 room hotel fronts the prominent main junction of New Bridge Road and Cantonment Road, while the adjoining six storey residential slab block with 68 units is aligned along New Bridge Road offering views over Bukit Pasoh and Outram Park.

The development is connected directly and conveniently to the Outram Park MRT interchange station. The first storey of the development is a blend of public accessible amenities such as MRT station entry, food & beverage shops, residential lobby, hotel lobby and drop-off.

The architecture and design of the development seeks to be sympathetic to the scale of the heritage district. A colonnaded public walkway circumventing the development provides shelter from the elements and is reminiscent of the charming 5 foot walkway of historic shop houses, while the expression and repetition of the residential units creates a harmony and rhythm in keeping with the comfortable scale afforded by the shop house architecture.

The ten storey hotel is a sweeping curve that visibly wraps the corner of the busy road junction. The hotel facade is clad in glass to exude an elegant modern contemporary yet quiet understated presence that addresses the outlook of a modern-day business hotel and its business savvy customers. The glass facade employs also the interplay of staggering vertical elements that catch the sunlight and brings about a sense of interest and rhythm.

The development offers a swimming pool and landscape deck on the third storey. The infinity edge swimming pool overlooking Chinatown is designed amid green planters, shady trees and sunbathing deck recliners.

The 68 residential units comprise three unit types which are 1-bedroom type, 2-bedroom type and 2+1-bedroom type. The residential units are efficiently planned and designed to create an ideal urban home. The bright and inviting apartments are equipped with open kitchen combined with living cum dining leading onto a good size balcony. In addition, the premium quality finishes and top-of-line home fittings in clean-line interiors and well-planned layouts exemplify the distinctive art of modern city living.
