Discovering Vibrant Locales
Singapore’s heritage as a hub for leather tanning stretches back to the 1940s, with Tannery Lane being a notable landmark. PARKROYAL on Beach Road has paired a stay at the hotel with a leathercrafting workshop by the local atelier Crafune, situated along the bustling Haji Lane. Here, you can try your hand at creating a leather coin pouch, inspired by weaving techniques reminiscent of iconic local dishes like ketupat and bazhang.
And speaking of local flavors, don’t miss the chance to savor the rich and complex taste of sambal balado, a beloved condiment in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Ginger restaurant at PARKROYAL offers dishes enhanced by Chef Low’s signature sambal balado, available with keropok crackers or crab bee hoon. You can even take home a jar of Ginger’s sambal balado for just S$8++.
