The take
Two shrines, beautifully restored and usually close to empty. It's one street over from Thian Hock Keng, so see both on the same walk.
Good to know
Two prayer halls: Tian Hou Gong for Mazu on the left, Shang Di Gong for the Heavenly Emperor on the right
Roof dragons and scenes are cut-and-paste ceramic mosaics, made by the qian ci method
Puppet shows are staged for the deities on certain festivals
Finding it: 30B Phillip Street, Singapore 048696, a Teochew temple dwarfed by the skyscrapers of the Central Business District
