She came to Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, a famous brand of braised pork ribs, which was included in Michelin's Bib Gourmand list for popular restaurants with good quality.
Ha is familiar with Singaporean cuisine because she studied in the city state for a short time.
She ordered a tray of many signature dishes such as stewed pork rib soup, stewed stomach soup, braised eggs, mustard greens with soy sauce, braised tofu, served with pickles, roasted peanuts and white rice.
Among them, stewed pork rib soup and stewed stomach soup are the most typical. Braised pork rib soup is also called bak kut teh.

She also visited P.S Café Restaurant, also located in the Dempsey Hill area, to enjoy a lunch of rice, chicken with basil sauce, fresh shrimp salad, fried eggs and a serving of fresh noodles with shrimp.
The area used to serve as a British military barracks during the colonial period, and later became a gathering place for many restaurants, cafes, and art exhibitions surrounded by green forests.

Ha said she loves the green space of P.S Cafe restaurant. This brand opened in 2005 and has eight branches in Singapore.
The establishment on Harding Road in Dempsey Hill is known as one of the most beautiful restaurants in the country, located in the middle of green forests.

To get there, diners walk through roads filled with green trees and stretching lawns. Most people who visit want to sit on the porch, overlooking the small forest.

Ha also visited the mural at Thian Hock Keng temple located on Amoy Street.
The 40-meter-long mural illustrates the life of early Hokkien immigrants in Singapore. The temple was built in 1839, with unique architecture as no nails were used during the construction process.

The mural is part of a project to revive Chinatown with art paintings that was implemented since 2017.
In addition to this temple, you can find murals at Chinatown Complex, Smith Street, Chinatown Center Heritage, Mohammed Ali Lane, and Pagoda Street.
Ha, 38, started her career in the entertainment industry aged 16. She has cut down her on-screen activities since she got married. She has 3 million followers on Instagram.
