Cultural Extravaganza 2025 - Home Kitchen 家囝成厨

Venue: Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre Auditorium, Level 9
Dates: 10 - 11 & 18 May 2025
Admission: $58 - $88

At the heat of Home Kitchen is the Gim Hiang Restaurant, a three-generation business, the woks are sizzling, the soup is boiling, and the tempers? Piping hot. 

For decades, Lau Dua Gim has been the undisputed king of this three-generation Teochew restaurant, serving up time-honored recipes with unwavering dedication and ruling with a firm hand, a sharp cleaver, and an even sharper tongue. But times are changing—rents are rising, customers’ preferences are evolving, and Dua Gim starts to wonder if Gim Hiang can survive the next chapter. 

Enter Zhi Ren, the prodigal youngest son. As a child, he was the golden boy of the kitchen, the one Dua Gim thought would inherit the family legacy. But instead of staying, Zhi Ren packed his knives and flew off to Paris—pursuing culinary training in Paris. Over the years, he climbed the ranks of a Michelin-starred restaurant, working his way up from apprentice to sous chef. Now, after years of refining his craft abroad, he returns home for a visit, stepping back into the kitchen where it all began. 

But home is different now. So is he. 

As soon as he picks up a knife, old tensions resurface. Dua Gim believes that tradition is what gives Teochew cuisine its soul, while Zhi Ren sees room for evolution. What begins as a simple conversation about flavours soon escalates into a full-blown family debate.  

So what’s on the menu? A hefty serving of father-son rivalry, a dash of nostalgia, and a generous helping of chaos.

SIFA 2025 - Animal Farm

Venue: Drama Centre Theatre
Dates: 16 - 18 May 2025
Admission: $48 - $68

It begins with a revolution. A group of downtrodden animals overthrows their owner, seeking to build a utopian society founded on fairness and equality. However, cracks soon appear when Napoleon, a power-hungry and manipulative porker, rises to leadership, using propaganda and violence to consolidate control. The animals quickly find themselves at the mercy of totalitarian tyranny, shackled by the very principles that were meant to set them free.

Based on George Orwell’s political satire Animal Farm, this theatrical adaptation by The Finger Players employs stunning puppetry to illustrate themes of brutality, conflict, and oppression. Written and directed by award-winning theatre veteran Oliver Chong, Animal Farm is a play of discordant harmony, adopting a darker, wittier, and more visceral treatment than the novel’s allegorical approach.

Suitable for 13 years old and above.

Many were once drawn to a place where the winds crossed, where the paths connecting East and West met. There, they traded, made a living, and learned—acquiring knowledge that stretched beyond the borders of their homelands. It was also a safe harbour, as they waited for the monsoon winds to change and carry them onwards to their destinations.

Soon, this place became home, and they reshaped the land to suit their lives. The nurturing trees fed their new ideas and ways of doing things, and with their insatiable and unceasing appetites, the trees made way for a landscape that would be forever changed.
