tour story

No matter where we come from, we remember the joy of ice cream from mobile carts, glimpses of craftsmen at work, enticing scents from open kitchens, and the familiar red brick structures reminiscent of 'Hansel and Gretel'.

Here, vanishing crafts come in all shapes and colors, lingering in the memories of both young and old, adding depth and texture to our swiftly modernizing city. Facing commercialization, redevelopment, evolving tastes, and better job opportunities, these crafts are rapidly disappearing.

Before they are gone forever, join us as we walk through Singapore's impressive cityscape, contrasting it with the firsthand stories from residents in our beloved neighborhoods.

Together, we'll assess whether these trades, scenes, and even the food anchor people to this land, and how endangered these intangible cultural heritages are in a nation that reinvents itself every five years.

‍

Reminisce about early Singaporeans and their pride in their trades' achievements
Engage all five senses as we navigate trades, streetscapes, and daily life
Meet local personalities and interact with them in their own environment
Savor local dishes (at least 2) that have almost vanished
