"A block of 1940s shophouses sensitively restored in 2015 as an exemplar of adaptive reuse, this stretch has been repopulated with an eclectic mix of boutiques, cafés and lifestyle stores. Visitors can pick up artisanal Malaysian batik, grab coffee at a cosy neighbourhood café or browse the community-run Sunny Side Up Market for handmade jewellery and cosmetics, reflecting a focus on responsible urban regeneration and local craftsmanship." - Sharon Crowther
