The ultimate guide to Thomson
From craft brews and hearty bagels to healthy Japanese pancakes and massages by the visually-impaired, the Thomson stretch is so much more than just a sleepy residential 'hood. By Charlene Fang
The Thomson Road stretch has never been considered 'sexy'. And for the most part, this has suited its understated residents well. Who needs a massive shopping mall when you're just 20 minutes bus ride from Orchard Road? Fancy Michelin-star restaurants? No thanks, they prefer variety and have it in spades. The outdoors? There's MacRitchie, not to mention the fancy Singapore Island Country Club (for the lucky few). Plenty of reasons to check out this centrally-located neighbourhood.
RECOMMENDED: The best coffee in Singapore
