Temple Street, Singapore

Temple Street, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Temple Street is a street in the heart of Chinatown in Singapore. It runs in a single direction from New Bridge Road to South Bridge Road. The liveliest section is at the intersection with the pedestrianized Trengganu Street, which is lined with street stalls.

Temple Street was originally named Almeida Street, after Joaquim d'Almeida. He was the son of Macau-born Dr Sir José d'Almeida Carvalho E Silva (1784-1850), who owned a property at the intersection of Trengganu Street and Temple Street. It was renamed Temple Street in 1908, to avoid confusion with D'Almeida Street which is in the Financial District.

The new name honors the Sri Mariamman Temple, which is located at the junction of Temple Street and South Bridge Road.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
