Joining the cluster of cool boutique hotels, cafés and restaurants at this gritty part of Little India, Jalan Besar is now home to a new wellness concept. Launched by Prime Group International, the company behind Prime Supermarket, Mahota Commune is a trendy space at Kitchener Complex.
The store aims to promote healthy living through a grocer offering organic produce and health food products, a restaurant and café and a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, all located within a shared space. Besides shopping and dining options, there are wellness activities such as yoga sessions ($15/class, $90/ seven classes), free weekday meditation classes (Mon-Fri, 12:30-1:30pm) and free Sunday morning walks around the neighborhood (9-10am). The store also hosts wine tasting sessions as well as symposiums and pop-up markets.
