Royal Selangor, Clarke Quay

Royal Selangor at Clarke Quay was the first stop of Nuffnang bloggers tour at Singapore. The most well-known brand in pewter, Royal Selangor pewter is composed of tin, with a small proportion of copper and antimony added to strengthen it.

We were ushered in by a tour guide. The thing was, I was too sleepy (coming from the previous award's night which ended quite late) to pay attention to her which made me miss some important details.




I didn't even know what this beautiful thing called. A money tree? I guess..One thing I was sure though, it's made up of pewter! hehe..and people were taking photo of them with it




That's why I guess.. I have one of myself too.Now, this reminded me of hearing the tour guide saying _ you'll get lucky if you have a photo with it or something to that effect.Having my sense of hearing still half asleep that morning, it was my sense of sight which was fully awake and working.





I was amazed by the beauty of these wall tiles made of pewter.Wishing I could have them taken home with me.




Pewter is highly malleable. This could be seen by how it is easily shape up into something. There was a big glass box there which contained bits of pewter. I tried to have a feel of it and found out by myself that indeed it was soft unlike other metals.

Showcasing also, were skilled craftspeople working on some beautiful creations. This is to say that all Royal Selangor products are being handcrafted inspite of the modern technology.



Presently, the company offers over a thousand different tableware and gift items, from traditional tankards and elegant tea sets, to captivating photo frames and handsome desk accessories.








Alluring jewelries to the delight of lady shoppers..




..And a chess set made of pewter? I could hear my girls shouting: "mom, buy that!"





There's also a coffee nook where shoppers could take some refreshments and snacks after an interesting hours at Royal Selangor. After all, it's in Clarke Quay.

Actually, our tour didn't end there, it went more to a 30 minutes workshop at the School of Hard Knocks. coming up on the next post. :D

Kudize To Nuffnang !!!

I went around Asia Pacific blogosphere and as expected_ found out that a huge percentage of postings were about each participant's share of experience of the recent Uniquely Singapore tour which commenced by the glitzy Nuffnang's Awards Night.

My brother, also a blogger, had also observed the overflowing analogous materials from the events and asked me if I were to post the same photos and texts, having been there myself.

The lazy me wanted to get smart-happy, appeased with the fact that everything was already written and presented anyway, and get on to the next extraneous topic.

But hey, the contributor in me appealed and is actually winning. At the most rate, the experience was actually personally endearing which left me no choice but to share them with you my blissful folks!

To begin with_ I'm so grateful to Nuffnang for including me to fly with the awesome Philippine delegates to Singapore ; kudize, applaud, clap-clap!!!


Coming up would be my own versions of the Nuffnang Singapore episodes last Oct.23-25, if only I could keep lid on from being a xerox copy to others. Well, let us see..on to the next post folks :))

ps: Ofcourse, Ascertain Bliss only houses destinations and accommodations, the rest of the experience would be available at my food and personal blogs as they pertain :)
