What you’ll do:
Jalan Besar leads an almost Jekyll and Hyde existence – in the day, it is populated by the hip and fashionable, and at night colourful characters and businesses reveal themselves. Walk into the nooks and crannies of the neighbourhood, snake around the back alleys and enter the ‘forbidden’ stairways with Jan and immerse yourself in the stories of this neighbourhood and the various communities that call Jalan Besar home!
Introduce yourself
Hello everyone, I am Jan! My friends tend to describe me as quirky, fun-loving and curious. I love treading on the offbeat side of life as I navigate between chasing my dream of running a farm homestay and exploring the myriad facets of what it means to be Singaporean.
To me, Home is…
Where we come back to being ourselves truly, originally, sincerely.
What is the difference in this place between day and night?
Jalan Besar in the day is PG – for kindergarteners and their care-givers. At night, as colourful businesses and personalities emerge, they attract a different crowd, giving its visitors the horns to complete the end of their day.
