Pork, mushrooms, chestnuts, and maybe some abalone thrown in for auspicious measure are all we need in a good bak zhang. If you agree, here’s where you can get traditional zhang that’ll sate those annual cravings.

93 years ago today (2 May 1932), Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was officially unveiled to the public. A grand and architecturally striking terminal along Keppel Road, the station became the southern gateway connecting Singapore to the rest of West Malaysia. From its stately Art Deco façade to its role as a Malaysian checkpoint on Singapore soil, this building has seen nearly a century of history.

I didn’t post any photos of myself after giving birth, partly because I was too tired to use Instagram, but mostly because after 36 hours of labour, I looked like a bloodied and bespectacled Jabba the Hutt—a far cry from That Mum who gets her brows done a week before her EDD, or who packs her Dyson Airwrap in her hospital bag.

25 years ago, Singapore officially decided to mind its language – quite literally. The Speak Good English Movement (SGEM) was launched on 29 Apr 2000 by then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, with one clear goal: to get Singaporeans to speak grammatically correct English that the rest of the world could actually understand.
