North Bridge Road! It's a pretty long stretch, one of the earliest roads built in Singapore in the 1822 Raffles Town Plan. If I'm not wrong, it goes all the way down to City Hall area.
We visited this shop at No. 718, selling alcohol-free perfumes for Muslims! Alcohol is forbidden in Islam and so in order to entitle the ladies the same right to put on some perfume, alcohol-free perfumes were created! There's such an extensive collection, and we saw some beautifully carfted perfume dispensers. The shop also sells other essentials for Muslim homes and the pilgrimage to Mecca (haj).
On to something even more... intersting. FOOD! There are many Muslim restaurants around, which have been established right here since.. the 1900s! Zam Zam Restaurant at No. 699 and Victory Restaurant at No. 786. We had Nasi Bryani which was awesome! It is reputed to be one of the best in town. We spent some time over here resting(we walked a LOT before that!!!), taking photographs before moving on to the next place.
