When was the last time you saw these objects in action? This was before those fancy coffee-making machines became popular, of course. However, some local coffee shops still stick by this method of brewing your perfect cup of java.
The above menu was chosen for Mr & Mrs Michael Lim’s Golden Anniversary. Judging from the list of dishes, I dare to say no one went home hungry that night 😉
Let’s ask the “married ones”…what was YOUR wedding menu like?
I’m sure some of you already know what the above picture is. Yes, this is a kuih bahulu mould.
This picture needs no introduction. If anyone of you has ever tried cooking in one of these clay pots, do share your experience with us (and maybe some recipes too?).

We know that YOU know which road this is. As our donor told us, we’ll make it a little harder this time: can you guess what time of day this photograph was taken? Morning? Noon? Evening?

We have here two views of Belfield Street, with the HSBC building in the background.
The one on the left (from Ruth Iversen Rollitt) dates back to 1958; the one on the right (from SK) was taken recently.
It is said that today – being the 7th day of the Lunar New Year – is ‘Yan Yat’ or ‘Renri’. According to Chinese customs, Renri was the day human beings were created. I’m sure there is a story or two behind this belief; we’d love to hear your thoughts 🙂
Have you heard of Aylesbury Street? What about Chee Tuck Medical Hall?

Some of you may be able to guess WHERE this place is. So don’t keep those guesses to yourselves.
