Trengganu Street, Singapore

Trengganu Street, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Trengganu Street is a pedestrianized street at the heart of the Chinatown neighbourhood of Outram, Singapore. It runs from the intersection with Smith Street and Sago Street in the south to the junction with Pagoda Street in the north. In the past, it extended all the way to Kreta Ayer Road, which is why it was called Goo Chia Chooi Wha Kay in Hokkien, meaning the road across Kreta Ayer Road.

Trengganu Street was named after the state of Terengganu in Malaysia. It has always been a hive of activity. At the turn of the 20th century, it had a well-known Chinese theatre called Hei Yuen Kai, which was very popular until the late 1920's.

Today Trengganu Street is the place to see Singapore's street life in action. Along with Sago Street, Smith Street, Temple Street, Sago Lane and Pagoda Street, it is lined with street vendors or hawkers selling everything from food and drinks to souvenirs, talisman and religious paraphernalia.

Getting there

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
