Singapore’s history, as well as Singapore’s culture, food, and tourist attractions

Singapore is a city-state, originally meaning the Lion City. According to Malay historical records, around 1150 AD, Prince Na of the Srivijaya Kingdom in Sumatra arrived at the island by boat and saw a black beast, which the locals told him was a lion, hence the name "Lion City" .

Singaporean food is a fusion of multi-racial characteristics. For breakfast options alone, even if there are new ones every day, you may not be able to try them all in a month. You can taste cheap Singaporean food in hawker centers, but if you are a fashionable traveler, then STRAITSKITCHEN in the Hyatt Regency Hotel may give you a new dining experience.

STRAITSKITCHEN is not only a restaurant where Singaporeans bring foreign friends, these restaurants are also very popular among Singaporeans. The restaurants serve a variety of Singaporean cuisine, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, and... Singapore's specialty Nyonya cuisine (a cuisine that mixes Chinese and Malay cooking methods), after a day of shopping on Orchard Road, it is definitely a wise move to come here to comfort yourself. The chef said you should not miss the barbecue manta ray. The delicious manta ray is served with garlic chili sauce, wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over charcoal fire. It will definitely be one of the flavors you miss in Singapore. The buffet served by the restaurant in the morning and evening is very popular. Even if you go on a Monday without a reservation, you may still be rejected.

Havaianas is the most fashionable flip-flop in Europe and the United States

The matchmaker between cheap and fashionable flip-flops turns out to be havaianas, a flip-flop brand from Brazil. Even Julia Roberts has to wear it for two consecutive years. Havaianas' flip-flops walked on the Oscar red carpet enchantingly. You can imagine the charm of this brand.

Havaianas, born in 1965, were originally designed as cheap flip-flops for ordinary people, but they were deeply favored by the upper class. In 2000, models put on slippers and walked onto the catwalk. Since then, havaianas has become internationally popular and has been going smoothly. Supporters include Nick Kidman, KATEMOSS, etc.

Heeren on Orchard Road, a shopping street, is a fashion base for young people in Singapore. The newurbanmale store there imports a variety of havaianas shoes, which makes people excited and dazzled. The selection of styles and shoe sizes should also be the best in Asia. Although a pair of flip-flops costs 100-200 yuan, it is still much cheaper than flying to Brazil to buy them.

The colorful colors of Havaianas are just an appearance. You have to wear shoes on your feet and walk 10 miles before you know the advantages and disadvantages of this means of transportation. What kind of plastic is used in Havaianas, known as the national shoe of Brazil, and why does it make you feel windy when walking, but not tired or painful?

Kawakubo Rei Pop-up Shop

Although Haji Lane in Singapore’s Arab Quarter is no longer a collection secret, the old shophouses along the street no longer only have Middle Eastern restaurants and shisha cafes. While wandering around that day, I also discovered a guerrilla store (GUERRILLASTORE) owned by Rei Kawakubo. This is already the second year of the guerrilla store in Singapore. The owner is Li Yi, a magazine man from Singapore. The design of the store has a strong post-industrial feel. It seems that everything is unfinished and is in progress. It seems that everyone will be evacuated tomorrow. It is very consistent with the guerrilla Features of the store.

This concept store only has a lifespan of one year. It has spread in major cities around the world in the form of guerrilla warfare. Every store owner hopes to have a long-lasting store, but why can’t the store have an expiration date? Perhaps because of this, modern people who like the new and dislike the old will cherish them more. This type of pop-upstores, which are popular in Europe and the United States, is actually more suitable for the urban ecology of life and death.

Rei Kawakubo’s short-term stores have fought several successful short-term campaigns in Warsaw, Berlin, etc., and they are mostly opened in unknown corners of the city. The store in Hong Kong is located in Chai Wan, an industrial area. In addition to the cheaper rent, it also adds a sense of mystery. If you are a supporter, you will also support it.
