Traditional Bakeries

Part of the NUS Arts Festival 2014, Moveable Feasts is a visual arts exhibition that took place from 14 to 28 Mar at the University Culture Centre. The combined efforts of about 20 attempted to trace the changes of food in Singapore over the years and remember history (or to leave a memory of today for the future generation) through photographs. It revolved around the diversity of local breakfast, our love for spice in chilli crabs and laksa as well as preserving traditional bakeries, desserts and nonya kuehs. 

The boss of this traditional bakery at Whampoa Drive, off Balestier Road, was not around when we visited on Saturday morning. But we spy the same brown breads in plastic containers, seen in neighbourhood coffeeshops where kaya toasts are served with half-boiled eggs and coffee or tea.
