London was actually sunny for Singapore Day 2009 and remained that way throughout the day. The perfect weather topped up on what was already the perfect ingredients for a Singapore Day for Overseas Singaporeans in Hampton Court – authentic hawker fare with a spread of the old favourites like Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Fried Mee and Prata!

There was the side splitting humour as well, done the Singapore-way by the artistes put together by MediaCorp – these include Dim Sum Dollies, the mrbrown show, and Jack Neo as well as many others. The Overseas Singaporeans, their friends and family all managed to get news also of the latest developments in some of their favourite haunts in Singapore from the showcase and display sections.

Thank you everyone for being there!

THIS year’s Singapore Day will be celebrated on a bigger scale despite the economic downturn.

In fact, the one-day event to be held on April 25 at Hampton Court Palace, southwest of Central London, will cost more than double that of last year’s in Melbourne.
‘We asked ourselves whether we should continue with organising this event given the economic downturn. We went through the analyses, assessment, videos and feedback of overseas Singaporeans and we felt the firm response is yes we need to go ahead,’ said Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Director, Overseas Singaporean Unit (OSU), at a media briefing on Wednesday.

With the theme of “Relook, Refresh & Reconnect”, overseas Singaporeans will experience a slice of home through Singaporean sights, sounds and tastes.
Creative Director for Singapore Day 2009, Mr Eric Khoo, said: “I want to create a happy fun-filled environment that overseas Singaporeans could connect to – local icons re-fashioned in a pop art sort of way. And for the entertainment, I could not resist pulling in some of Singapore’s finest artistes.”

They will be able to enjoy homegrown humour by local artistes like Dim Sum Dollies, Hossan Leong, Jack Neo and blogger Mr Brown, and sway to songs by singer Rui En and Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah.

Authentic local delights such as chicken rice, roti prata, char kway teow and satay will be specially prepared by hawkers chosen by Makansutra.
