Not content to merely walk down memory lane? Now you can eat your way through memory lane too – at the Singapore Food Trail!

The Singapore Food Trail is a new concept dining experience located at the Singapore Flyer. While the location is definitely geared towards the tourist visitor, it looks like a lot of effort has been put in to recreate the charms of dining in 1960s Singapore – complete with hawker carts, makeshift stores and bits and pieces from the days of old. Jaime writes about how the paraphernalia was a great starting point for her parents to reminisce about the past:

What got my parents reminiscing was not the food, but the paraphernalia – steam irons, posters, the trishaw (it cost S$1.50 for the ride from Geylang Lorong 27 to Joo Chiat Road in the 1970s I was told), the “ping pong” cups and bowls, the wooden chopsticks.

My father was picky about the authenticity of the replication – he just could not get his head around the idea that reproduction/replication could not be the exact copy of what was. But our time there gave him the physical material to tell me more about his childhood. My mother just went straight off Memory Lane.
