What a beautiful temple Dear Cherry! I had no idea there was such a think as Buddha's tooth relic. I had to Google more details about that and it's quite fascinating, although I am wondering if it's real. Anyway, the food looks amazing too! YUM! 💚🌿💚

Thanks dear Lena.
This temple is one of famous tourist spot in Singapore. 4th floor display Buddha tooth relic. Its real. If not, won't attract so much of people to visit the temple.
The food is simple, nice and affordable.
