The exhibition included a pop-up cafe serving coffee made from Singaporean roasteries, toast with home-made kaya jam, as well as a 3-day ticketed private dining experience bringing Peranakan cuisine to Takamatsu. By using nourishment as a common language between Singaporeans and Japanese, visitors were invited into a non-conventional gallery setting where they could experience Singaporean culture in a casual way, opening up conversations about the artworks being presented.
