We engaged the members of the Kreta Ayer Senior Activity Centre, excavating a myriad of stories and memories in the process

We took to the streets in the latter half of the Sounds of Chinatown workshop, winding through the back alleys of the Chinatown precinct

Our Sounds of Chinatown workshop started off within our quarters, allowing participants to explore the insides of a shophouse

Through the Smells of Chinatown workshop, we learnt about the different types of teas, various preparation methods, as well as the art of tea appreciation

Lasting well into the night, our team explored various routes around the Kreta Ayer area of Chinatown

At last, the crew could catch a breather together after the end of the various workshops conducted

Through our public engagement activity, we uncovered various sentiments from both local residents and tourists

Making a longevity bao takes a lot of work; not only must it taste good, it should look good too!

Evidently, our workshop participants found the baos delicious!

Discovering teas with different aromas with names like Iron Buddha, Dragon Well, Dragon Pearl Jasmine...

Lovely tea accessories that enhance the tea drinking experience!
