About the Programme

What you’ll do:

Ease into the morning with a comforting Singaporean Indian breakfast hosted by Nithia. The meal features a familiar trio of dishes: dosa (lentil pancakes) served with chutney, semiya upma—a lightly spiced vermicelli dish—and vadai, a savoury lentil fritter that’s both crisp and hearty. To complete the experience, guests can enjoy freshly brewed masala tea and Indian-style coffee.
As part of My Community Festival 2025, this breakfast offers more than just food—it’s a quiet reflection on how our mornings, and the meals we share, shape the rhythm of our lives. For Nithia, cooking is a way of connecting—with people, places, and memories. Having spent time between Singapore and the UK, her approach to food reflects both movement and rootedness. Whether you’re revisiting a familiar taste or discovering something new, this breakfast invites you to start the day with warmth, flavour, and a shared table.

Angelina Choy

Meet Angelina Choy, an ex-journalist by profession and a heritage guide at My Alexandra Heritage Tour who brings grace, warmth, and a deep sense of care to everything she does. Known for her patience and loving nature, Angelina has a quiet way of connecting with people—whether she’s leading a tour through Alexandra’s historic neighbourhoods or simply enjoying a good meal and heartfelt conversation with family and friends.

Her work in journalism has sharpened her appreciation for stories—especially those found in everyday places and people. This love for storytelling comes alive during her tours, where she gently guides participants through layered histories of war, resilience, and community life in one of Singapore’s most storied neighbourhoods.

Angelina’s thoughtful presence and sincere approach make her a guide who listens as much as she shares. With her, a heritage walk feels less like a lesson and more like a shared journey—full of reflections, stories, and moments that linger long after the tour ends.
