This vibrant painting by Lim Tze Peng, Singapore’s most celebrated living artist and Cultural Medallion recipient, captures the quintessential charm of roadside dining in the 1960s–70s. Under makeshift tents, patrons gather at simple tables, savoring meals in the open air, while shophouses with red-tiled roofs form a nostalgic backdrop.

The lively brushstrokes and bold use of color transform an everyday street scene into a timeless cultural memory. For collectors and investors, this work embodies not only Lim’s signature style of expressive ink and color but also a disappearing slice of Singapore’s heritage. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history painted by a national treasure whose works continue to appreciate in global value.
