There’s more to Jalan Besar than café-hopping, and Find Your Folks @ Jalan Besar is a great way to explore the neighbourhood. The event brings together a curated mix of food and retail experiences, collaborating with local tenants to showcase their unique offerings. Wild Coco will serve up laksa bowls, samosas and kueh bingka as snacks, while Second Thoughts, a new craft beer bar and restaurant, will dish out grilled cheese, tiger mussels, pani puri, alongside a selection of craft beer and wine. Head to Hue for some classic Thai flavours such as char moo and Thai milk tea. Other vendors include Druggists, Chye Seng Huat Hardware, Just Julia and more.
On September 20 and 21, Hamilton Road will be transformed for the Street Festival, featuring thrift markets, skate jams and community art. The entire road will be closed to traffic, so you can wander freely while live music from Darker Than Wax and Nomad Solar Sound sets the soundtrack for the festivities.
