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.
