An example of multi-cultural Singapore

Far East Plaza, the shopping mall popular for fashion-conscious teens, has a restaurant called Sakura Cuisine that serves halal Thai Chinese foods. (Sakura is a Japanese word for cherry blossom.) I see a queue of head-scarfed girls in front of the restaurant.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I'm curious about what surprised you. Would you mind letting me know?

Sure..

Never knew there is such an innovative mosque in SG. And despite going to Expo for umpteenth times, I never noticed how sophisticated the architecture is. And..didnt know kaya is termed as coconut jam overseas! I find it odd cos the smell and taste come mostly from pandan..
