$32.00
The fact that most Singaporeans own their own homes is often trumpeted as a public housing success story. Critics, however, have likened HDB flats to pigeonholes in the sky, and that public housing in Singapore de-individualises its inhabitants. Having lived half his life in a HDB flat to no visible detriment, the designer suggests how we should never underestimate the individual’s ability to continually overcome the constraints set by the environment, be it a pigeonhole or otherwise.

An experiment on breaking boundaries through creative playfulness. The idea is to allow the person wearing the badge a satisfying control over their trophy of choice for the occasion and to mix unmatched pieces, allowing them further control to recreate a new animal, playing both god and scientist. The wearer would realize that every piece can be connected, thereby building a whole new abstract world of animals.

The fairest of all in the lineage of kuehs, the kueh tutu has skin as white as snow, and a heart as sweet as coconut (although sometimes peanut). This fair beauty takes great effort to get ready: it squeezes itself into a metal corset and undergoes an intense steam treatment to mould its curves to all the right places. Always faithful to its favourite green cape, it is a delicious-hearted kueh after your own heart.

Famed for being the most lethal fruit on the planet, the durian is also the most misunderstood fruit that ever lived. Beneath its knife-sharp bully of a facade lies a cuddly yellow softie. It takes true grit and courage to put up with the world’s discrimination. But, the durian takes it all in his stride and sets a very good example to his legion of fans as the king of the fruits – honorable, humble, and brave.

Have you conquered it yet? It’s only the steepest ice-capped mountain in tropical Singapore — the ice kachang. It sits precariously on a majestic crust of corn, beans, and an army of squiggly green jelly worms, braving drizzles of sweet milk, showers of syrups, and the occasional hail of cocktail fruit. Scaling this great Kopitiam beauty is no easy feat: start from the peak and make the treacherous descent down the bowl, but beware of the rapidly melting ice!

Many insist that the only way to enjoy this unassuming work of art is by peeling off each and every one of the 9 layers that a pair of steadfast hands spent hours composing and orchestrating. Many also find it extremely excruciating to have to wait and work through all the layers and are convinced they taste better (with all 9 layers) together. Regardless of how this masterpiece is relished, this brilliant kueh takes you to cloud 9 with a single bite; you have just tasted a rainbow.
