Watch Bendemeer come alive in the early morning! Join us on a behind-the-scenes walk through the market and food centre as stallholders and hawkers prepare for the day ahead—sorting fresh produce, marinating meats, and firing up woks long before the first customers arrive. Experience the quiet dedication that fuels our hawker culture, and get a rare glimpse of the work that brings Singapore’s favourite breakfast dishes to life.
Corliss Chong is a passionate and personable Singaporean guide who believes that the soul of a city lies not just in its landmarks, but in its markets, kopitiams, and the quiet routines of its people. As a licensed tourist guide and long-time volunteer with My Community, she designs and leads immersive heritage experiences that bring Singapore’s neighbourhoods and hidden corners to life.
Corliss is best known for her guided tour After Hours @ My Bendemeer —a programme under My Community Festival. There, she introduces visitors to fishmongers, vegetable sellers, and hawker stallholders, showing the quiet industry and camaraderie that sustain our everyday lives. Through her storytelling, even a bag of bean sprouts or a bowl of minced meat noodles becomes an entry point into heritage, memory, and identity.
