Another (smaller) group of us went a little further west from UTown, and showed up at Clementi Central join in and capture the festivities happening there this weekend. Ben, Huiling and James even went on the tour.
Good food, lively heartland vibe, amazing company… what more could one ask for?

My piece from yesterday’s Sketchwalk at Geylang Serai, a popular Malay / Muslim enclave in the mid-eastern part of Singapore.
Ramadan is about over and Hari Raya (translated: Big Day; celebrating the end of Ramadan) is around the corner, and this part of town is usually teeming with atmosphere and festivities this time of the year.
While most of our sketchers were sketching up Malay-inspired architecture across the street, Ken and I decided to capture some favorite Malay eats – a big part of the Hari Raya festivities, and certainly Singapore Malay Culture.
This stall (operating since 1985) is a very popular Malay dessert place selling Putu Piring, a Kueh (steamed rice cake) with brown palm sugar (Gula Melaka) fillings, sprinkled with freshly grated coconut, usually served on a tiny piece of banana leaf. It reminds me a lot of the Chinese Kueh Tu-Tu.
One bite into the steamy, soft and slightly powdery and bland exterior, and you will be greeted with an explosion of nuanced, textured sweetness, and that combination is just heavenly… and I don’t even have a sweet tooth. 😂
The other sweet delights on the table I bought from the neighboring stalls; the Putu Piring was the star.
An urban sketcher at heart, I could not help but also capture the shopfront, with dedicated kak-kaks (older sisters) and makciks (older ladies / moms) hard at work churning out Kueh after Kueh.
Wonderful hangout with my bros Ken and Alvin sketching up these sweet delights.

On Jan 7 we collaborated with media house who was doing a special feature on the famous Lau Pa Sat, and had asked to film us in action sketching the place. It was a fun outing full of wonderful conversations and nostalgia.
This is the oldest market in SG, about 200 years old, with beams made from Victorian time England. Hope this iconic place is always going to be here.

My last sketch done on the last day at Guadalajara. We met the @urbansketchersguadalajara team at the super gorgeous Tlaquepaque for a final sketchwalk hangout. What a way to conclude our unforgettable time in this gorgeous city. I so gotta bring my family here someday. Once again, a much belated thanks for your most incredible hospitality. It was such a joy to have spent time with y’all… I miss you guys. 😭 Hope to see you again soon! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🥰 *TWSBI 580RBT Broad nib FP, Daniel Smith Artist Watercolors, Moleskine Watercolor sketchbook. #usk #usksg #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchwalk #guadalajara (at Tlaquepaque, Jalisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn47I9VPCON/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Quick sketch from the first sketch walk with @urbansketchersguadalajara during the weekend. Love this huge traffic circle La Minerva, where they’d closed it off on a weekend so that people could take walks and cycle around the place. As I was going around for most of the Sketchwalk, documenting the time, taking shots of sketchers at work, doing IG Stories, etc., I didn’t have time to finish it. Got really busy after the trip and the rest of the year. Now I can’t be bothered to anymore; just gonna leave it as is. ✌🏼😬 *TWSBI 580RBT Broad nib FP, Daniel Smith Artist Watercolors, Moleskine Watercolor sketchbook. #usk #usksg #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchwalk #guadalajara (at La Minerva) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2G3qdv5Xf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This building at a corner beside the very grand Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento caught my attention during our 2nd Sketchwalk with the @urbansketchersguadalajara team. It’s so bright and energetic it’s irresistible. 😊 *TWSBI 580RBT Broad nib FP, Daniel Smith Artist Watercolors, Moleskine Watercolor sketchbook. #usk #usksg #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchwalk #guadalajara (at Templo Expiatorio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0p4gDPfeG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
