Set in a four-story heritage building in the heart of Chinatown, Spring Court is a family-run restaurant serving Chinese food with a Singaporean Cantonese twist. While Spring Court is one of Singapore's oldest Chinese restaurants (established in 1929), the music selection in the numerous VIP karaoke rooms is slightly more contemporary. Try one of their panfried noodle dishes, dian xin (dim sum) plates or the Peking duck. Find this restaurant right across from Chinatown Point car park, and come between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for lunch and 6 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. for dinner.
