Chinatown [牛车水] is named after the
bullock cart was used to carry the fresh water by its residents. It’s offers
more than a name when it comes to heritage. To me, it is a distinct of
heritage. It’s reflecting how its residents were living during a very long time
ago and all these are being reflected to nowadays people. It’s a distinct that featuring the
Chinese culture and the heritage part.
The moment you alight from the MRT station
[Chinatown Station], strong sense of Chinese cultural decoration is all around
you.
Typical Chinese lantern, the architecture, and
even the ambience. It’s all about the Chinese heritage.
I’ve been to Junker Street in Malacca. The
ambience is more or less the same. Stalls selling souvenir are everywhere.
Chinese knots, key chain, chopsticks, Kebaya [its part of Chinese culture],
Chinese hand-hold fans and etc. You can even
found some antique that featuring with strong Chinese culture here. Like jade,
statue, decoration, and etc.
This is Chinatown food street.
Strong sense of Chinese culture even the stalls’ design, the tables and chairs, the environment.
