It's first come, first served so be there at 11! It's less than a week to the carnival and there's loads to look forward to!

There'll be an exhilarating lion dance, exciting competitions and everyone's favourite *yusheng*!    Please come prepared with an empty stomach for we've got many traditional delights including our take on KOI bubble tea and Old Chang Kee, along with congee, mee sua, tea eggs,  *orh-nee* (yam paste with gingko nuts) and more bak kwa. Round it off with your favourite kopitiam drinks and you won't regret it! There's no better way to spice up the day with some games from home like *mahjong*, *chapteh* as well as a childhood games corner.
