[Free Drop-In storytelling] The Incredible Basket
9 Jan 2026
Xiaoming delivers a batch of ang ku kueh with a beautiful Chinese wedding basket, then turns it into a prop for a lion dance. When the sun beats down on him, he repurposes the basket's cover as a hat! At home in a second-floor shophouse, it is attached to a rope to get a bowl of noodles from the street hawker. Join Quek Hong Shin, author and illustrator of the book, The Incredible Basket, to discover how Xiaoming uses his empty basket in many imaginative ways. This session is specially curated to complement the PLAY + MAKE travelling exhibition, an imaginative maker’s space where children explore Singapore’s rich food heritage through hands-on activities.
