Between Singapore's bustling mainland and Sentosa lies Pulau Brani, once a vibrant tapestry of maritime life where the Orang Laut community, Riau islanders, Malay and Chinese communities, and British colonials coexisted until the 1960s. Though now transformed into a naval base and port terminal, the island's rich cultural heritage lives on through its former inhabitants.
Join us for an intimate gathering where descendants and former residents of Pulau Brani share their treasured memories of island life. Discover the sophisticated simplicity of their sustainable fishing traditions, ancestral sea foraging wisdom, and the art of communal food preparation. Learn about the aromatic spices and time-honoured condiments that defined their cuisine.
The storytelling naturally flows into a culinary demonstration where you'll participate in the final assembly of traditional dishes, experiencing firsthand how these flavors come together. This hands-on experience offers more than just a meal—it's a taste of Singapore's maritime soul.
