Quite often, teenagers like myself don't drop by places like Chinatown because it's labelled as "a place where the old people hang out" or a place for tourists. We'd most probably only head there during Chinese New Year to soak up the atmosphere, check out the decorations and all.
Whenever I tell my friends I'm going to Chinatown, they'd be like "why the hell are you going there?"
Here's one good reason why you should head to Chinatown:

Less than 5 minutes walk away from Chinatown MRT (get out from exit A), the place offers both hot and cold traditional desserts at pocket friendly prices.
Carrot cake ($2.50)
Chee cheong fun ($2)
Peanut paste ($3)
Yam paste ($3)
My favourite!!!
The whole place spans over three stalls, the service is fast and the friendly staff give it a plus point. In case you're wondering, there's no GST or service charge! :) Another plus point!
This is definitely one place you can drop by after school to de-stress with a couple of friends over something light.
Ordered take away for my family once, and my grandmother gave the food there a thumbs up! You know it's good when the grandmother gives it a thumbs up ;)
