The 6 Best Sights & Landmarks in Everton Park, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

I have been living in Singapore for a while now, but only recently managed to visit NUS Baba House. One of the reasons why I had put it off was that guided tours are only taking place during the week, when I am at work. However, I would highly recommend it also on a self-guided visit during the weekend like I ended up going to in the end. The house is beautifully restored bringing Peranakan heritage to life in its original setting. Even if the visit is self-guided, a short introduction will be given and several volunteer stewards are stationed around the house to answer questions. Actually the one piece of advice I would give is: do ask questions! We learnt so much about the house, the inhabitants and what life was like in a Peranakan household by talking to them. The volunteers were super knowledgeable and had so many interesting stories to share. A big thank you to them!

Yip Yew Chong painted his first street mural "Amah" here on the wall of the former Chua Kim Keat Motor Garage building. The owner of this property requested for a Peranakan theme, hence the sarong, kebaya and kuih kuih. The black-and-white amah washing the sarong was his family's former co-tenant while they were living in Chinatown. He also painted the "Barber" on the back wall of this same building. He was commissioned by another owner to paint a mural to reflect the scenes based on his childhood such as the soya beancurd stall. In the mural, a child was seen picking sticks from a tin can. He would get a free soya drink or beancurd if he drew two consecutive sticks of same colour. The Vespa in the mural belonged to the owner's father which he and his siblings often took turns riding pillion around the area. The artist also drew the provision shop based on his memories as well as that of the older folks. Ice were sold as not many households had refrigerator then. Coconut grating machines used to be popular in 1970s and 1980s but now most people bought the packets of coconut milk from supermarkets. The Chinese character on the provision shop's signboard reads "Hui An" which is the owner's ancestor home in China. The bamboo blind reads "Sin Chew brand soy sauce" which represents our forefathers' migration from China and settling in Sin Chew meaning Singapore. The artist's mother reminded him that the gunny sacks of dried goods were placed on planks to avoid moisture. The artist's name is written on the unique Singapore red letter box. Recently the artist also sell many of his smaller paintings on canvas at the Art Porters Gallery at nearby Spottiswood Park Road.
