Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) celebrates one of Singapore’s most beloved morning meals with the launch of The Nanyang Breakfast Club: Let’s Lim Kopi, Jiak Roti at SingPost Centre (Level 2) today!
Pioneered by the Hainanese and shaped by the diverse influences of Chinese, Malay, Peranakan, and Western cultures, the Nanyang breakfast is more than just a meal – it is a reflection of Singapore’s multicultural identity. The Nanyang Breakfast Club will present an immersive clubhouse experience where visitors can learn more about the history and evolution of the traditional Nanyang breakfast.
Interactive Display and Information
Through interactive displays, storytelling, and archival materials, the exhibition will also showcase the components and impact of this breakfast dish on Singaporean life and culture, as well as the role of kopitiams (coffee shops) as community spaces that have connected generations of Singaporeans.
