It links from City Hall MRT station to the National Gallery Singapore. We also initiated Project Bench \u2013 we salvaged timbers from the old National Stadium to be made into public benches.

When we hosted Rojak talks (a sharing session for local creatives) in the late 2000s, we met many homegrown designers. Together, we pondered on creating more locally designed objects. Later, we were tasked by the National Museum and Singapore Art Museum to create their inaugural product range, which included now-evergreen local souvenirs such as the tutu kueh (steamed rice flour cakes filled with sugared ground peanuts, or a combination of palm sugar and shredded coconut) erasers, and the Made for Sam line of trinkets. That initiative spurred more shops and designers to create locally design products, and we started The Farm Store to help distribute these creative products.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Singapore\u2019s architectural landscape is\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>always evolving with newer, shinier buildings existing side-by-side with old ones. I also love how our streets are lined with trees \u2013 the greenery makes me happy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_108953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108953\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108953 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/The-Interlace-and-Pearl-Bank-Apartments.jpg\" alt=\"The Interlace (left) and Pearl Bank Apartments (right)\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/The-Interlace-and-Pearl-Bank-Apartments.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/The-Interlace-and-Pearl-Bank-Apartments.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/The-Interlace-and-Pearl-Bank-Apartments.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-108953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Interlace (left) and Pearl Bank Apartments (right)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>I admire\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Interlace, a residential development, and the very old Pearl Bank Apartments. To me, both are innovative attempts at communal housing as they redefine urban living. I\u2019m also drawn to buildings that work harmoniously with the tropical landscape: PARKROYAL at Pickering is a great example.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The best places for local food are\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>too many to list! But for a supercharged local food experience, my top spots are Maxwell Food Centre, Hong Lim Market &amp; Food Centre, and Tiong Bahru Market. Nothing beats the multi-sensory experience of eating in a clean hawker centre, and that\u2019s uniquely Singapore.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_108951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108951\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108951 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/Mouthwatering-local-dishes-from-Maxwell.jpg\" alt=\"Mouthwatering local dishes from Maxwell Food Centre\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/Mouthwatering-local-dishes-from-Maxwell.jpg 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/Mouthwatering-local-dishes-from-Maxwell.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/09\/Mouthwatering-local-dishes-from-Maxwell.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-108951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Mouthwatering local dishes from Maxwell Food Centre<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Besides The Farm Shop\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>the Singapore Visitor\u2019s Centre at Orchard Gateway is a great place to grab a good, meaningful memento from Singapore.

Our museums also boast amazing retail spaces too, such as Gallery &amp; Co. at National Gallery Singapore, Supermama at Singapore Art Museum and Museum Label at National Museum of Singapore.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>If friends from out of town are here for a visit\u2026 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I will plan a shiny-to-gritty tour of Singapore to show how eclectic we are as a city! We\u2019ll hit up Gardens by the Bay to visit the spectacular Flower Dome and marvel at the grandeur of man-made nature, and then contrast the experience with the naturally-aged beauty of Singapore Botanic Gardens (it\u2019s also our first UNESCO World Heritage site). The afternoon will be spent at the museums and cultural sites, including the Singapore Art Museum and ArtScience Museum. The latter is notable for bringing architecture, conservation and art under one big roof. In the evening, we\u2019ll make our way to Geylang for amazing local food and bustling atmosphere. And after dinner, we\u2019ll do a quick zip around Mustafa Shopping Centre, then have supper in the Little India vicinity \u2013 people really don\u2019t sleep here!<\/p>\n<p><em>Singapore Insider is published quarterly, in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board.
