Hana shares her knowledge, passion and cooking skills with the participants who are looking to learn about Jordanian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Cuisine.

Born in Jordan, Hana Madanat learned cooking early by helping her mother in the kitchen. Later in life, she traveled the world which led her to search for the taste of home. Today she has a catering business and will share her expertise with FOM.

The menu will include the well-known starters Mhamra, a delicious paste made from grilled sweet red pepper, and a smoked eggplant dip. Kibbeh another popular Middle Eastern dish based on spiced ground meat, onions, and grain is another starter.

Learn to make Tabbouleh a salad based on bulgur with lots of fresh herbs and a special tahini salad. For the main course, we will have another Levant classic Ousi, lamb or chicken cooked with pine nuts and spices and rice wrapped in filo pastry. 

And as dessert we are going to have the all time favourite ‘Baklava’. 

This neighbourhood brims with a vintage vibe reminiscent of the good old kampong days – too bad it won’t stay like this for much longer. Tanglin Halt may be a historic Singapore township with the nation’s earliest HDB flats, but this year it faces the wrecking ball as it undergoes redevelopment. Join us on this one-time PhotoTrek to document its distinct architecture and landmarks - from the circa-1960’s buildings to the local temples and remnants of the old Malayan railway line.  We’ll meet some of the locals and the shops that have been serving this community for over sixty years. Award-winning photojournalist Lester V. Ledesma (www.lesterledesma.com) will lead this three-hour shooting expedition into one of the country’s most nostalgic neighbourhoods. During this PhotoTrek he will give hints and tips on how to take great photos and other photography secrets. Classical, point and shoot cameras and handy's are all welcome for this PhotoTrek.

Synopsis:

Bella Bird is an accomplished professor at an Ivy League university who prizes her solitude. But when she faces a challenge she cannot tackle alone, she allies herself with a brilliant and mysterious student. Intensely intimate and deeply moving, this haunting play probes the question of what one person can do for another.

Hailed by The New York Times as “an astonishing new play”, this scintillating two-hander looks at how two brilliant but social misfits connect and bond with each other. Written by award-winning writer Adam Rapp, the beauty of this gripping drama The Sound Inside is that it’s never what you expect.

Featuring Serene Chen as Bella Bird and Krish Natarajan as Christopher John.

The Sound Inside is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Are you interested in cooking and trying out new dishes?

We have a series of new and interesting recipes based on future activities that will take place post circuit breaker!

We start off with a little local flower, with the name of 'Butterfly Pea Flower' or Bunga Telang in Malay.  It is often used in Malay and Peranakan cooking; such as Nasi Kerabu or Nasi Ulam, which we learned during our Curio cooking class in Pulau Ubin.Like many colorful plants, vegetables and flowers it is believed to be full of antioxidants and it is said to have lots of health benefits. My favourite benefit of the flower is that it can boost metabolism, help aid weight loss, and reduce belly fat. Even if it doesn't, it makes pretty good tea!
