Cabinet Of Curiosities: Yishun Heritage Trail

Ever wonder what makes Yishun tick? This Sunday morning trail walks you through the town centre, past the shops and businesses that shaped the neighbourhood. You'll meet the shopkeepers themselves, hear the story behind the cinema's architects, and find out why the arowana holds such weight in Chinese culture — all while an aquarium visit adds a dash of the unexpected.

It's not just history; it's also a taste of heritage. The trail stops by a bakery with pastries you can't find elsewhere in Singapore, and dives into the cross-cultural origins of Peranakan snacks. Starting at 10.30am from Yishun MRT Exit A, the two-hour walk costs S$30 — a solid way to spend a Sunday morning for anyone curious about the heartlands.
