Ann Siang Hill and its Treasures


                                                Taken from the top of Ann Siang Hill 
                                                                10th Oct 2015 

       After such a hefty breakfast of chicken rice at Maxwell Road Hawker Center, what better way to burn off the excess calories than to take a stroll up the Ann Siang Hill ? I decided to do just that and round out that the Hill was named after a famous Businessman philantropist, Chia Ann Siang. He was one of the most successful Hokkien traders of the early 20th century and bought the entire hill from the then Governor of Singapore.

       The roads surrounding Ann Siang hIll are peppered with small shophouse style establishments featuring many Food and Beverage outlets with fanciful names such as L Angelus (French fine food), Los Primos (Spanish tapas and drinks) and Gugini (Italian trappatoria) all lined side by side.

3 Fine Restaurants Side by Side.  




Gugini Trattoria and Pizzeria 


L Angelus - Fine French Dining 



                          Los Primos Restaurant and Tapas Bar ; try the Iberico Ham with Sangria




                                     At the Top of Ann Siang Hill 10th Oct 2015 

      Where else in the world would you find culinary establishments from easily 10 countries from UK, Germany, Continental Europe, Middle Eastern and Asia all within a 5 minute walk from each other ? None other than Club Street and Ann Siang Hill !!
