“Street Smart Singapore spans the many faces of Singapore’s story, from the first kings of ancient Singapura, through the 19^th-century colonial period, to the arrival of the first fast-food hamburger.
Here, you can read about the shocking secret of the Presbyterian church on Orchard Road; the first meal Sir Stamford Raffles had on Singaporean soil and what he thought of the durian; the year when ice-cream came to town; what I.M. Pei’s initials stand for; who is really buried at Fort Canning Hill; and much, much more besides.”
