Tiong Bahru Hawkers Pop-Up at The Clifford Pier

Ding Dong Launches New Menu with Familiar Flavours
Beloved for its innovative and playful take on traditional Southeast Asian fare, Ding Dong’s new Assistant Head Chef Miller Mai brings in 14 exciting creations that take you down memory lane through Vietnam, Thailand, and the rest of Asia.
