Emerald Hill Walk: During Singapore’s early colonial days, the Orchard Road area was home to fruit orchards and Emerald Hill was known for its nutmeg plantations.
Emerald Hill was settled by the Peranakans – descendants of 16th century Chinese traders who Chinese married with local Malays. Peranakans also known as the Baba-Nyonyas or Straits Chinese, they were the middlemen between the British and Chinese and, as a result, were quite powerful and wealthy.
In this modern days, Emerald Hill remains an upscale historical buildings neighbourhood being restored to their former glory. The smaller two-storey houses costs approximately S$7 million to purchase, or more than S$12,000 a month to rent. Up the hill to reach a private school and playground with children attended to by their live-in nannies.
There is No. 5 Emerald Hill Cocktail Bar for a martini or Singapore Sling, Ice Cold Beer Bar for the coldest suds in the city, or Alley Bar near the entrance to Orchard Road for great happy hour deals. There is also bright red ‘One Price Store’ which specialises in antiques like marble dragons, hand-carved trunks and snuff bottles.
