Singapore Science Centre has opened a new Dinosaurs exhibition on 24 Oct 2013. Mrupupup was happy to get invited to see the preview of the dinosaur exhibition - thank you organisers. The exhibition named "Titans of the Past - Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals" is at the Singapore Science Centre (The Annexe) till next year February. Mrupupup was totally amazed by the huge dinosaurs exhibits and fossils specially curated by world renowned palaeontologist Dr Jack Horner.

Ho Tit Coffee Powder Factory is located at 402 Upper Paya Lebar Road Singapore 534988.

Go to Ho Tit Coffee Powder Manufacturer and you can view the traditional machines to roast coffee. Quite an interesting place and the owners will chit chat with you of your coffee preference. Enjoy the conversation and have a cuppa of coffee. Hope we can preserve one of the last traditional coffee roasters in Singapore.           Special Blend - Ho Tit Coffee Blend know as 'Heart Beat Fast'
