I'm coming to Singapore soon and have taken a hotel on joo chiat road. it was an impulsive decision after spending too many days looking at expensive hotel prices and then landing on a blog that talked about food on joo chiat road. I've been to Singapore many times and usually stay near Orchard or the museums. I'm looking forward to the food and the architecture. It looks like a real place - local, I mean. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about the area?
