This is not an Invitation but an Expectation!

We are a small social group of Singaporeans living in Sydney and our network was started in response to the isolation of new Singaporean migrants and students, living in a new environment, away from the comfort and familiarity of home and the difficulties new migrants face; from finding employment related to their overseas qualifications and experience to the school’s enrollments for their children. The aim of the group is to provide and enhance community spirit among Singaporeans and their families by providing a platform for networking and socialising.

Through your participation, we hope to cultivate new friendship, network, exchange ideas and enjoy hearing Singlish and of course, regular makan sessions that guarantees to drive homesickness away!

You do not need an invitation to visit your family; likewise we do not ask you to fill up any form here to join us. This is an open invitation to all Singaporeans and their friends to take up the empty seats at our next makan session and to share the food at the table and most importantly, to rekindle our kampong spirit that we have left behind in our island home.

  5. Hey Uncle Phil,

    I'm an avid reader of your food blog. Makes me hungry all the time. Thank you for starting this Sydney Chapter (Perth has one and we need one too!). I'm looking forward to meeting fellow red dotters and happy to help out if you need any help with organising.

    Cheers!

  6. Hi JW,
    Thank you so much! I am so glad you come to join and share the same dream. Just imagine the world is dotted with us but sadly outside our little red dot.
    Where are you? Can you pm me? I need all the help to get this going.
    Cheers,
    Phil
