The highlight is the Ten Courts of Hell (responsible for childhood nightmares for generations of Singaporeans) where dioramas showing human sinners being punished in a variety of hideous and bloodthirsty ways – in extremely gory and graphic detail. It’s a safe bet that you will never see anything like it anywhere else.
Many orchids have been found to have medicinal properties, whether used in drugs, taken due to tonic potential, or used to cure chapped skin and bleeding sores. For example, Salep, a drug made from orchids Orchis Mascula and Orchis Militaris, was once extremely popular in Turkey. It was and is used in the Turkish ice cream bastani. Salep flour was also used in desserts and beverages mainly in the Ottoman empire, and in Syria and Palestine, it is a traditional winter beverage. Another instance is dendrobium, an orchid that is taken because of its tonic potential. Dried Dendrobium is believed to possess medicinal properties that can help treat cancer, strengthen the immune system, and improve eyesight.
Singapore is home to beautiful Peranakan Culture. Explore the vibrant world of Peranakan heritage through this Room Fragrances. The exact origins of the Peranakans are hard to pin down. Some believe them to be descendents of Chinese immigrant traders who married local Malay women or Bataks from Sumatra in 1500’s. Others believe them to be Chinese from Admiral Zheng He’s army in 1300’s, who married local malay women. Most scholars agree that the first wave of Chinese immigrants to Malaya and Indonesia could have arrived in the 10th century, however, the practice became much more common in the 15th century. The culture originates from mixed marriage between a Chinese man and Malay/Indonesian women. This created a very unique and amazing culture with unique traditions. Initially the wives could have been slaves, but eventually things improved and equality set in. See even more details at Peranakan House.
