Reunion in the National Museum of Singapore

The National Museum of Singapore in partnership with Lien Foundation have created Reunion on level 1 of the museum in the wing near the Singapore Management University (SMU). The purpose-built dedicated social space for seniors comprises a café and an activity space. The activity space features a group activity area, an immersive projection cave, a Quiet Room and music booths.

The reunion activity space is like a comfy hangout area, where people can engage in various social activities and even participate special programs for memory care. Whether you want to listen to music from your favourite era, chill in the Quiet Room or join a group activity, Reunion has something for you. And the best part? It’s open to everyone, even those with a bit of forgetfulness. Just remember to register for programs beforehand so they can save you a spot.

Brunch at Café Brera

Café Brera at Reunion is a self service cafe. You order and pay at the counter and collect your food and beverages from the counter. You are expected to clear your own table after your meal.

We tried two sandwiches at Café Brera: egg mayo on burger bun ($11.90) and ham & cheese on buttery bread ($12.90). We could opt for the bread we wanted on each of the sandwiches. Both were served with salad on the side.

Our egg mayo sandwich was a nice combination of creamy egg mayo and a soft burger bun. It was a simple straightforward sandwich. The bun was the outstanding item.

The ham & cheese sandwich was also simple. The star of the dish was the soft buttery bread, which complemented the ham and cheese perfectly but tasted delicious on its own.

We also tried their local dish of chicken curry ($13.90) and local dessert pulot hitam ($4.50). The chicken curry was fragrant and aromatic, with tender chicken pieces and soft potato cubes. Two slices of soft buttery bread, lightly toasted, were served with the dish.

The pulot hitam was a satisfying dessert, with the black glutinous rice cooked to perfection. You can control the level of sweetness of the dish because you can add sugar syrup to the mildly sweet desert to suit your preference.

To complete our meal, we had barista-made long black ($4.50 each). The coffee was expertly brewed and gave a delightful finishing touch to our Café Brera brunch experience.
