Brutalism, once a term used dismissively, has come to define a significant architectural chapter shaped by stark geometries, raw materials and a distinctive honesty of form. In Singapore, these buildings emerged during the formative years following independence in 1965, a time when rapid development and large-scale renewal shaped the new nation’s identity. Many view these structures as invaluable cultural markers, designed by ambitious young local architects who were helping to build the country’s modern architectural language. Others, however, see them as outdated remnants lacking aesthetic appeal, resulting in ongoing debate regarding their preservation and the heritage they represent.

This architectural tour explores some of the most representative examples of Singapore’s brutalist movement.

Go to place for real Thai foods. At least there are many choices there, just select according to ypur taste. Toilet and general areas are a bit dark (less lighting) but if you are not bothered, then it’s ok. Else, don’t go alone so you won’t get scared or shocked easily.

It was the place to look for authentic Thai food. But quality of food has compromised after covid period. Seasoning is badly done. Food is overpriced too. The supermarket still offers decent Thai products and exclusive herbs and vegetables essential for Thai cooking. You are able to find Thai snacks, freshly made on the spot, akin what you'll in MBK. Otherwise, this mall isn't worth visiting.

For authentic Thai noodles, go to Flying Pig (level 1). It's a small restaurant which serves Thai noodles, Thai salads, and Crab omelette rice (must try!). Love their homemade drinks (butterfly pea and Roselle).

I’m Vietnamese live in Singapore, and I feel happy when come here. They have many types vegetables which I cannot buy in my market. But the place a bit old and not safe, should protect your bag or phone, and women shouldn’t go at night. The dessert looks so nice but eat not nice, shouldn’t buy too much like me and quit it.
