Unveil Their Rituals and Traditions: Visit historical sites tied to Majie heritage — where vows of celibacy were once taken and rituals observed. Hear stories of sisterhood, mutual support, and the festive traditions that bound them together — some of which still continue to resonate in contemporary Singapore.
Flavours of Home: Originating from the cradle of Cantonese cuisine and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Majies brought with them rich culinary traditions. Discover the stories behind treasured recipes, and see how their flavours continue to shape Singapore’s food heritage today.
