Your school’s National Education Club is planning to organise a learning journey for students in your school as one of the choices for the post-examination activities. You have seen an advertisement for tours organised by the Singapore Tourism Board and you think one of the tours will be a good choice for the learning journey. As a member of the Executive Committee of the club, you have been tasked to write an article for your school’s monthly bulletin to encourage as many students as possible to come on this learning journey.
Your article for the bulletin must include the following content:
- a title to attract readers’ attention
- your choice of tour
- what participants will experience during the tour
- why you think the tour will be a worthwhile experience for the participants.
Write your article for the school’s bulletin in clear, accurate English and in a lively and enthusiastic tone to convince readers to join your club on this learning journey.
You should use your own words as much as possible. You may add any other details you think will be helpful.
Tour chosen:
Delve deep into a multitude of flavours!
By Amy Tan
You’re in for a treat! After the taxing end-of-year examinations, take this much-needed break and reward yourself by attending the honourably-mentioned Flavours of Singapore tour. Through this interactive and immersive experience of cooking up your very own dishes, grow closer to your Singaporean roots and learn how to whip up paradigmatic local food!
Firstly, under the guidance of professional chefs, you will get the chance to first-handedly select fresh ingredients from the wet market – a stone’s throw away from the cooking studio. Learn to recognise the characteristics of fresh produce and livestock which are paramount in creating your own unique spin of mouth-watering local dishes.
After selecting your ingredients, put your theoretical knowledge to the test by whipping up a flurry of quintessential local favourites on your own. Imagine the tantalising aroma of fried Hokkien mee and hand-crafted sugary bombs of ondeh-ondeh wafting through the air. Doesn’t that sound like heaven on earth? Leave this tour with a curated medley of recipes and an appreciation for the immense effort that goes into keeping our homegrown gastronomic traditions alive!
Before long, you will meet chef Malcolm Lee of Michelin-starred Peranakan restaurant Candlenut, and Wild Rocket’s Willin Low, who is widely recognised as one of the founders of Mod-Sin cuisine. Be hand-held through every process of creating your very own dishes and receive professional and constructive feedback on your works of art – a golden once-in-a-lifetime opportunity many would scramble for. I am certain that their wealth of experience will provide you with an excellent avenue for improvement and leave you in ineffable awe!
Lastly, as this tour pays homage to Singapore’s glorious and beloved hawker culture, I have faith that you will forge a deeper connection to your Singaporean culture and engender pride in your very own Singaporean identity. A surely eye-opening and epicurean experience for all, this tour will not only leave you with great memories to cherish, but also an even greater sense of belonging to Singapore.
