Join Baba Chan Eng Thai as he traces the rich history, evolution and symbolism behind the 
semayang
 
or ancestral veneration: one of the most important intangible practices in Peranakan Chinese culture.
From its roots in China to its evolution under British colonial influences and today’s contemporary society, discover how this essential practice has adapted and responded to changes of past and present. At the same time, learn the rich symbolism behind the ingredients and arrangement of each dish
,
 demonstrated using life-like replicas specially commissioned by the Baba House.
Take this rare opportunity to hear directly from a living practitioner of the 
semayang
 and see Baba House’s full replica display of the offerings
 
before the house’s closure for essential conservation works in June.

Date of Visit: May 27, 2025I recently had the pleasure of visiting Gardens by the Bay, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. The highlight of my visit was the captivating Jurassic Park attraction, which brought a thrilling prehistoric ambiance to the gardens. The exhibits were incredibly detailed, and the immersive environment made me feel like I had stepped back in time.The overall scenery was nothing short of spectacular. The lush greenery, vibrant flora, and innovative landscapes created a serene and awe-inspiring environment. Every corner of the gardens offered a picturesque view, perfect for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.I wholeheartedly rate my visit a perfect 10/10. Gardens by the Bay is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience natural beauty combined with creative, thematic attractions.

Be sure to take the first small train, otherwise it will be too dark and the animals can&#39;t see clearly. Those who have not been there can experience it, which is more novel. Finally, you can watch a show at the door, and you can go back to the house. It is also very convenient to take the subway.

Skyline Luge Singapore

Cable car

Take a taxi to the mountain, go directly to the luge, remember to confirm the scheduled time (I missed it, but Miss Sister changed the time), if you slide down the ticket many times and then take the cable car to slide, overall it is worth playing, the fare is not very expensive, When you slide down, the speed is very cool. It is recommended to slide down and buy a cup of coconut. After drinking, take the cable car to slide. If you leave, take the cable car to the mountain to take a taxi.

Sentosa

Natural scenery

Sentosa Island is very good, the theme park has more projects, Jurassic Park, Xiaohuangren, etc. On the island, the ecology is mainly good, there are many birds, and I have seen seagulls, peacocks and lizards. The accommodation is more expensive. The hotel does not provide breakfast. Others are OK.
