Other gifts suggestion: Kaya is a creamy jam made from coconut and eggs (sometimes with added pandan leaf extract for extra fragrance), perfect to be eaten with toast. Get yourself jars of Ya Kun’s very own kaya (available from SGD 4/jar at any Ya Kun Kaya Toast outlet) and you can have your very own Singapore-style breakfast back home. Tip: As the jars can’t be carried onto your flight (due to the 100ml liquid limit), you may have to check them in. Wrap your jars of kaya with extra layers of clothes or bubble wrap them to prevent the jars from breaking or cracking in your luggage.

Set in lush secondary rainforest, the Night Safari is a must-see for visitors. The world’s first night zoo (opened in 1994) allows you to witness what over 2,500 nocturnal animals from 130 species get up to after dusk, in naturalistic habitats and without barriers, via the use of special lighting techniques. Lions? Check. Rhino? Check. Leopards? Check. Flying squirrels? Check! Manatees, crocodiles, flamingos and monkeys are just some of the 5,000 beasties you’ll encounter in this river-themed wildlife park, which boasts the world’s biggest freshwater aquarium and a panda exhibit housing the cuddly couple Kai Kai and Jia Jia. The River Safari is split into two zones: the Rivers of the World, which showcases animals from eight rivers including the Congo and Yangtze, and Wild Amazonia, where you can come face-to-face with over 30 animals from the rainforest on a boat ride aptly named Amazon River Quest.

Perhaps the most important name is its Chinese medicinal name: Heishanzhe. The Chinese herb Heishanzhe (A. rigida) is obtained from Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Chinese medicinal texts state that its roots and leaves relax muscles and joints, promote blood circulation and relieve pain, hence it is used to treat traumatic injuries and fractures. In Laos, leaves were used in making mats. In Thailand, the entire plant is used as a tonic to strengthen the body. Active Ingredients that made it medicinal are: 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4- hydroxybenaldehyde and 4-methoxymethyl phenol.

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.

With breathtaking panoramic views that are so radically different during the day and at night, it’s hard to choose the best time to take a ride.

The most awesome personalized souvenir from your Singapore trip is a personalized fragrance from Scent-osa. Hoya imperialis, used in Citrus 8 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop. Hoya imperialis are large flowers and get spectacular pink with white corona when mature. Sometimes the corona is pink as well. It is a good bloomer and you will feel very rewarded when you see the flowers. Since Hoyas are likely to bloom earlier and more often in smaller pots, don’t use a pot that is too big. Another tip for Orchid lovers- keep the room temperature above 60F. Hoya’s are known to grow fast, but this one will exceed all expectations. We found someone stating that their grew 30ft in 18 months. The flowers smell amazing in the evening, with hints of Neroli. They are fragrant, in fact very fragrant. Read extra info on here.
