Qing Ming is the day where
descendants are to pay respect to their
ancestors.
In past, most people will go to the cemetery to visit their ancestors during
Qing Ming period, i.e. clear the weeds, burn incense etc.
In Singapore, most people will cremate the deceased bodies and store them in the
columbarium instead as land is quite limited. Any existing cemeteries will be exhumed in phases over the next few years.

Overall
My Ramblings...I was quite impressed with the food as it turns out better than the branches at Food Republic (a popular food centre that can be found in
Wisma and
Suntec).
The
ambiance here is very nostalgic as well. Typical
HK dim sum style where trays of dim sum were being pushed around and one can order then and there.
