Happy Monday! Handmade ang ku kueh are a rare find these days, where are our ang ku kueh lovers at?!

Ang Ku Kueh, or “Red Tortoise Cakes” , are literally shaped to look like tortoise shells with the Chinese character “寿 shou” or “longevity” imprinted in the centre! While ang ku kueh has its roots in China, most Singaporean stalls have adopted the Nyonya style of making this delicacy, which gives it its chewier red pastry texture.

Watch on as #TeamSGN’s resident avid baker Jessie takes on the challenge of making traditional and rainbow coloured ang ku kuehs at Ji Xiang Confectionery, one of Singapore’s best and most popular ang ku kueh stores!

Hi SGN Community

TGIF! Have you seen (or been) to the newest kid in the CBD ‘hood?

Nestled in the heart of the Central Business District, CapitaSpring is a 51 storey integrated building at Market Street.

It not only boasts a hawker centre, offices, and serviced apartments with a pool, #DidYouKnow it also houses Singapore’s tallest observatory deck & rooftop farm? What’s even better is that it’s open to public!

#Funfact: This biophilic skyscraper holds more than 80,000 plants from over 130 species, with more than 63% of it being native plants, meaning less pesticides and water required for maintenance It's not surprising that they were awarded the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Award, one of the highest green building accolades in Singapore
