This vibrant painting by Lim Tze Peng, Singapore’s Cultural Medallion recipient, brings to life the bustling roadside fruit stalls of Chinatown’s Temple Street. Under the shade of makeshift canopies, vendors arrange their fresh produce while patrons crowd around, capturing the dynamic energy and communal rhythm of daytime street life in the 1960s and 70s.

Rendered with bold outlines and warm earthy tones, the artwork preserves a vivid memory of Singapore’s disappearing past. For collectors and investors, this piece is not only a striking visual narrative of Chinatown’s cultural heartbeat but also a valuable legacy of one of Singapore’s most celebrated living artists.
