BATIK FOLDOVER CLUTCH
One clutch, two ways of carrying it!

Note: Exact prints of flowers on batik will differ from piece to piece.
BARANG BARANG OR SIMI SAI ALSO HAVE TOTE BAGS
Statement’s philosophy of delighting and making others smile is successfully achieved through their clever and witty T-Shirt design prints. And just like the tees we use everyday, happiness and joy can be for everyday too.
PERANAKAN TILES RUBIK’S CUBE
Now & Then Collection is designed in Singapore, with the support of Design Singapore Council. This collection showcases various iconic architecture in Singapore, allowing everyone to own a piece of Singapore’s heritage.
Traditional shophouses façade ornamentation draws inspiration from the Malay, Chinese and European traditions. Other traditions include the use of Peranakan pastel coloured glazed tiles, often with floral or geometric motifs. The degree of a shophouse’s ornamentation depends on the prosperity of its owner and the surrounding area; shophouses facades in cities and (former) boomtowns are generally more elaborate than rural shophouses, which tend to be more Spartan in design.
DUMPLING POUCH
Bak Zhang? Five Stones? A pouch like this is handy arm candy. Great for little items like keys, coins, wires and other knick-knacks! Exact print on each item will differ.
SINGLISH BRACELETS
These Singlish Bracelets are handcrafted out of stainless steel and come in five Singlish phrases with either silver, gold or rose gold plating. Wear them and they’re sure to draw some curious (and envious) stares!
Designed locally, LOVE SG incorporates a quirky part of Singapore into each product, blending local flavour with international appeal. The result is a bold, cheeky and slightly surprising collection of products that are ‘Singaporean’ enough to bring back as a souvenir, yet fun enough to use.

Catering to the smaller size of families these days, this sauce from Kwong Woh Hing Sauce Factory serves about 2-3, and comes with easy steps for you to attain the taste of a great cook of Singapore hidden delicacy.
Char Siew (pork roast) is a popular way to flavour and roast barbecued pork in Cantonese cuisine. It is sweet and flavourful. It is classified as a type of Siew Mei (Cantonese roasted meat) and is usually eaten along with many local cuisines. Grandpa Woo made it simple so you can prepare this all time favourite easily from home.
Black pepper crab originates from Singapore, and is one of the two most popular ways crab is served. This savoury spicy dish can now be replicated with this sauce. Grandpa Woo prefers to fry till it is dry so that the sauce sticks to the shell.
