Brewing Nostalgia: Kopitiams in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand

Did you know? Kopitiams are social hubs where people gather over kaya toast and thick, dark Nanyang coffee. To commemorate 60 years of Singapore’s diplomatic relations with Malaysia and Thailand, this special exhibition presents a visual journey through traditional kopitiams in these three countries by award-winning travel photographer Lester V. Ledesma.

你可知道古早咖啡店在新马泰都有着深厚的文化底蕴，是市民聚集享受南洋咖啡和咖椰吐司的社交场所。为纪念新加坡分别与马来西亚和泰国建交60周年，这个特展将透过知名摄影师Lester V. Ledesma的摄影作品，带大家一窥新马泰传统咖啡店的风情。

Venue: SCCC Concourse, Level 1

When: 3 Dec 2025 - 30 Apr 2026, 9am - 10pm

By: Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre
