OLDSCHOOL
Mount Sophia
 
Although it doesn't seem like too many people make their way to this complex, OldSchool is an art/design/culture hub that houses a number of galleries, design firms, studios, and more, including the current CDG guerrilla store. There's an amazing café – "Recess", although the atmosphere probably exceeded the actual cuisine itself. The entire complex is built into the site of an old school, hence the name. Everything is therefore school-themed, from the lavatory signs to the classrooms where all the offices & galleries reside. An amazing concept.

 

 
HAJI LANE
Haji Lane (parallel to Arab St)

It's quite hard to find this street and even harder to explain it to most taxi drivers but Haji Lane is turning into somewhat of a gathering point for independent store owners and small boutique companies. White Room, Know It Nothing, and more showcase a more avant-garde and progressive brand listing including some amazing local design and art talent.
