-Singapore 1960 Exhibition
The latest free exhibit at the Museum showcases the bits and pieces of Singapore (politically and culturally )in the 1960s . It was an era where much changes took place and an era where Singapore became independent.
It's the neon light era..

Very interesting, I'm pretty sure I won't need to convince Wenna to go there with me.
As for Grilled Kidney, I had kidney quite often in Germany. Cut into smaller pieces, cooked in a pan with some special sauce (don't know what kind of sauce, but I love it!)
Never had it in Singapore, though
I wish I was there! :-)
