So whether you’re into stylish fine jewellery, heritage Singapore cookies, healthy diets or online shopping, read on and show your support.

Shopping for fine jewellery in Singapore is getting more exciting with the next generation of jewellers. Vault Fine Jewellery was started in 2017 by Jocelyn Tan at the tender age of 27. Born into a family of jewellers, Jocelyn majored in jewellery and 3D design and brings a contemporary approach to her Zion Road boutique. Vault believes fine jewellery is a lifestyle choice and an expression of your identity. That’s why the boutique specialises in bespoke experiences. Jocelyn will learn about your preferences and personality before recommending materials and designs. Choose from a variety of diamonds, jade and other gemstones to create rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces that truly reflect who you are.

Food industrialisation and cultural amnesia mean some of Singapore’s heritage snacks are either difficult to find or not as delicious as you remember them. Luckily, the iconic kue bangkit are not among them, thanks to Pandan Street Bakery. Run by Christy Tan, her husband Raymond and her mum Madam Lee, this multi-generational outfit preserves an important legacy with its decades-old recipe. Pandan Street Bakery is among the last of its kind to produce kue bangkit entirely by hand and without preservatives, using old wooden moulds no longer in production. Order them along with their signature emping cookies and pineapple tarts to give any reunion or gathering a nostalgic lift.
