Recently there had been exhibitions held in neighbourhood shopping malls to celebrate our heritage, and what other way to celebrate that than to bring back the food that we grew up eating?
I happened to be at the Bukit Panjang Plaza two weeks ago to do some grocery shopping and chanced upon this exhibition at the atrium. Here are some pictures showing the food scene in early Singapore and some pictures of the food that we eat here. Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane with these pics…
Before we start on the pics, here is a video I took from another mall, Lot 1 Shopping, which had the same event going on the week after I took the pics at Bt Panjang Plaza. It’s a video of the Bhangra Dance performed by a dance group from a community centre (I think).
Now, off to the shopping mall…
Now, food, food, food…and exhibition panels

Kacang Puteh Stall – All types of nuts used to be sold outside cinemas. The wrappers used to contain the nuts are just newspapers twisted into cone shapes. See below pic…
– Keropok (Prawn crackers,tapioca crackers, etc)
A fascinating glimpe into the past and present Judy. xxx

I just loved the energetic dancers…Would have liked to try that dance, in my younger days ofcourse……lol….Food stalls were interesting…but aside from the crabs and nuts I would need help selecting something….Fascinating to see all this…Thanks Judy..
