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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
