Pottery, Ceramics, Blue & White China

The ICS PTF recently organized an excursion to visit two industries dedicated to the craft of pottery, ceramics, porcelain and blue & white China.

A wide array of wares like plates, tea sets, vases, jars, ceramic figurines, various home decors and chinoiserie were available at very reasonable prices. Great for the home and as souvenir gifts. Located quite far out but truly worth the visit!

Din Tai Fung (Chinese dumpling restaurant)

By far the best dumplings I've ever had! Location I like best is in Paragon on Orchard Road. Other locations include Bishan Junction 8, Tampines Mall, Wisma Atria, and Raffles City. No reservations taken.

Playtime...Playgrounds

An indoor playground that's just the right size for the little ones. Can also reserve whole place for birthday parties.

Need TVs, Appliances, Electronics ??

Audio House in Liang Court near Clark Quay has a nice selection and sales reps that are not too aggressive. You may be able to negotiate a better price at Sim Lim on Rocher Canal Rd, but beware the sales techniques. Funan on North Bridge Rd has a decent selection as well.

SKS Books Warehouse (Christian bookstore)

Reminiscent of an American Christian bookstore. Has a huge & varied selection of not only books, but cards, gifts, dvds, cds and more. They also have tons of Bibles in different versions. Very helpful staff and a joy to shop. Located on Outram Rd. in Tan Boon Liat Bldg. (just right after Holiday Inn Hotel) ...looks like an HDB bldg., but actually many other shops. Take the elevator up to 9th floor.  Happy browsing!
