Head down to the farm, discover Peranakan history, and learn how to order coffee like a pro in Singapore.
A JOURNEY WEST:
From the Dragon’s Den to Veggie Paradise
A few times a year, a dragon roars to life in the shape of Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln at the Pottery Jungle, one of two dragon kilns remaining in Singapore. When fired, the kiln reaches over 1200 degrees Celsius. While the kiln won’t be fired when we visit, we will check out the rows of ceramics - handmade, imported, decorative, Chinese, Peranakan - spread over the spacious grounds for browsing and shopping. Afterwards, we’ll head for some rural respite at Bollywood Veggies, a 10-acre organic farm. Stroll through the lush landscape which houses one hundred varieties of plants, tropical fruits and herbs with medicinal properties. A stop at this hidden sanctuary includes lunch – as owner Ivy Singh says, “Welcome to Paradise”.
DATE: Thursday 3 August TIME: 9am – 1pm MEET: 8.50am at the entrance to Newton Food Centre, nearest MRT Newton COST: Members $100, non-members $115 Notes: Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear and bring an umbrella and bottle of water.
