One obvious reason for the preference of quaint restaurants is that I love walking around Outram/Chinatown/Tanjong Pagar area. The place is so full of character and is filled with beautiful shophouses: things that one can't find in high rise buildings, shopping malls and heartlands. Even the decor outside the restaurants can be so distinctive, unique and eye-catching. Just think lots of potted plants, high tables, picnic tables. signboards protruding from the sides of the buildings. This is an experience in itself.
Lastly, I can feel the distinctive passion of the owners of the quaint restaurants, and it shows in the food and decor. And I love to immense in such atmosphere.
Quaint restaurants has this charm that inspires and warms the hearts.
