Singapore’s heritage as a hub for leather tanning stretches back to the 1940s, with Tannery Lane being a notable landmark.

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.
