I was in Singapore roughly two weeks ago and paid a visit to Eason music. It was located at the Rochor Center near the Bugis MRT Station.

You can see people drying their laundry on the upper floors as well as offerings of fa-gao (a type of steamed fortune cake made out of rice flour) being offered to idols in the corridors.

Nearby a temple festival was going on.
