The outlets are offering mouthwatering local favorites such as BBQ & Steamboat, Chinese & Local delights, porridge and even “Mee Sua Tow”.

So make it a must to come to “8 Row” where friends and family members alike will enjoy good food, beverage and entertainment the way the locals do it!

Here is some information for those history buffs. Few people know about the history or transformation of 8-Row houses.

Build in 1927 by R.K.S Rawater as residential units, this surviving row of 16 terrace houses were designed in eclectic Straits architectural style.

It is a hip-and-happening place targeting the young, sociable crowd and “night owls”, with similarities of Singapore’s Boat Quay and a touch of Kuala Lumpur’s Bangsar.

Original pre-war terracotta roof tiles were sourced to replace metal sheets. Traditional timber louver shutters and fanlights were crafted in place of glass and aluminum windows. Delicate lime-plastered moldings covered missing and damaged decorative features.

“See you there!"
