Keong Saik Road
Formerly notorious as a red-light district, this lane filled with quaint shop houses has been
significantly overhauled and is now lined with classy restaurants, boutique hotels and more.
New Majestic Hotel
The most amazing thing about this boutique hotel:
each of the 30 rooms are different! Hotelier Loh Lik
Peng brought
in different
designers to put
their own unique
spins within each
space, ensuring
a new, charming
experience every
time you return
to this hotel.
Our favourite
rooms: The
Samsui, Cheshire
and Bliss suites,
simply because
the bathtubs
right smack in
the middle of the
room make for
interesting photo
opportunities!
2 pm
Not to be missed, lunch at Keong Saik Snacks.
Blending local and British cafe culture, and
giving modern twists to great classic comfort
foods from around the world, Keong Saik
Snacks is the new go-to social bistro that is
part brainchild of Michelin Star Chef Jason
Atherton with an unpretentious environment,
and serving familiar yet new and deviously
clever food options.
