Rooted in the experience and kitchens of Mdm Rohaini and Mdm Noor Aini, this dining experience brings the flavours of Orang Pulau heritage to life. Reimagined by Chef Azfar, each of the 5 courses tells a story of island life, memory, and the jiwa laut that continues to connect us.

This programme is presented as part of Festival. An intimate evening of taste, storytelling, and rediscovery happening on 8 & 9 May 2026, 7.30pm at Dutch Colony Elementum.

Seats are limited. Register via link in bio. 🐡🤍

This weekend is going to be an eventful one for us !💯🎬

On the 2nd of May, we will be bringing Joget Dangkung to Malay Heritage Centre, with Mak Dare from Tanjung Pinang, Bintan - coming to Singapore for the first time!

Joget Dangkung is a shared cultural tradition among the Riau region, and was a communal practice on the Southern Islands during festive events. 🏝️

Mak Dare, as the only female Joget Dangkung troupe leader, will be sharing stories from her life as a performer and cultural custodian, and giving us a glimpse into this living tradition. 💃

Join us for an Exclusive Film Screening of Dara Duka by Novi Asti, and Joget with a living legend this Saturday! 👯🎥🍿

This Raya was a special one. The Pulau Semakau community came together, if only for a moment, to celebrate, reconnect, and share memories of the island. While the island may now be a fond memory, the Jiwa Laut keeps us connected, through our stories, our traditions, and one another.

We didn’t know the effort it takes to put out a publication, but not we do. We are incredibly honoured to present our first publication, Mengakaji Dengan Hati - a toolkit on Research Ethics. Last night, we were joined by 80 lovely people and our esteemed panelists Dr Vivienne Wee and Ilya Katrinnada. Moderated by Chia Jie Lin, who co-authored the toolkit, this marks a milestone in Orang Laut SG’s journey. If you like a copy, check out the last two slides in the post. 🤍
