Kallang is located in Central Singapore – and the neighbourhood has been seeing many exciting F&B concepts and businesses pop up in the vicinity. Check out our list of cool things to do if you’re planning to live in this district!
1. Discover your creative side with a batik painting workshop at Goodman Arts Centre
Goodman Arts Centre is an art hive that serves as a platform to bring artists, enthusiasts and neighbouring communities together. They regularly organise performances, dance classes, and workshops wherein you can learn anything under the sun including paper marbling, perfume making, and batik painting.
2. Re-watch iconic football matches at the Singapore Sports Museum
Sport fanatics will have a whale of a time at the Singapore Sports Museum, which exhibits Singapore’s sporting achievements and history. Check out the Hall of Fame, which features local sports legends such as Tan Howe Liang, the first Singaporean to win an Olympic Games medal in 1960.
Then knock yourself out rewatching iconic football matches of the past, and browse through legendary football icon Fandi Ahmad’s collection of jerseys and footballs.
3. Say no to beautifully made but mediocre tasting desserts at Ugly Cake Shop
Have you chosen your side? We’re firmly on #teamugly with the folks behind Ugly Cake Shop, who would rather bake ‘honest’ cupcakes and cakes than pile on artificial colouring, fondant and gum paste for beautifying purposes.
One of the bestsellers at Ugly Cake Shop is the Sally, a peanut butter chocolate cake which actually originated as a cupcake. The Sally is, amazingly enough, rich and luscious without being overly sweet. Whoever said you can’t have your cake and eat it at the same time clearly hasn’t chanced upon Ugly Cake Shop!
4. Unleash your inner carnivore at this roast joint located at the riverside
We’re talking about Camp Kilo Charcoal Club, which is where you can find the best roast meats in town. We kid you not when we say this place is intense – the sight (and smell!) of their specialty roasted pig cooking on their self-made spit is sure to have your mouth watering in anticipation. Other than the Roast Pig, be sure to try their other bestsellers such as the Chipotle BBQ ribs and Burnt Carrots.
