HERITAGE & FOOD TRAIL ON 1/5/2013 文化及美食之旅
On 1/5/2013 (Sunday) ,Our residents and New Citizens were gathered at Bukit Batok East Zone 3 RC early in the morning 8 am, and started the journey of the Heritage and Food Trail.
1.Breakfast at Lau Pa Sat Festival Market - Located at Raffles Quay
Originally known as Telok Ayer Market, this distinctive octagonal-shaped structure was built in 1894 out of cast iron from Glasgow. It was designed by Municipal Engineer James MacRitchie, and served as the only market in the city then. In 1973, the market was declared a national monument and was completely reconstructed in 1990. At the same time, the old Malay name was conveniently changed to a Chinese one--Lau Pa Sat, meaning "old market". The historical structure was then leased to Scotts Holdings, which commercialised the area into a maze of souvenir stalls and food outlets.
2. China Heritage Centre - located at China Town
The Chinatown Heritage Centre is the only place in Singapore that has recreated the original interiors of its shophouse tenants in the 1950s, offering visitors an honest, revealing glimpse into the lives of Chinatown's early residents.
The colourful past of Chinatown comes alive within the walls of these three beautifully-restored shophouses along Pagoda Street, comfortably nestled in the midst of Singapore's bustling Chinatown district.
3. Malay Heritage Centre - Located at Istana Kampong Glam
Officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in June 2005, the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) provides wonderful cultural exposure and learning opportunities for visitors of all ages and interests. Situated amidst the Istana Kampong Gelam, Gedung Kuning and the surrounding Kampong Gelam precinct, the Centre acts as a vital heritage institution for the Malay community in Singapore. Through its exhibits, programmes and activities, the Centre hopes to honour the past while providing a means for present-day expression. The Malay Heritage Centre is presently under the management of the National Heritage Board in partnership with the Malay Heritage Foundation.

4. Little India
The first Indian settlers in Singapore arrived with Sir Stamford Raffles as assistants and soldiers back in 1819. It is a place where you can get your future told by a parrot while sipping a teh tarik. North from Fort Canning Park you son enter Little India, whose main drag - Serangoon Road - is around fifteen minutes' walk from Raffles Hotel. Today, Little Indai is the focal point of Singapore's Indian Community.
5.Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple - Located at Ceylon Road
Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple was established in the mid-19th century by the Ceylonese Tamils from Sri Lanka. Built on the architectural lines that was favoured in the ancient Chola kingdom of India, this temple is the second-oldest Hindu temple in Singapore.
We end our journey at around 4pm, is a great day everyone enjoyed the tour very much!
