TEH TARIK Batik Art on 12″ x 12″ (30cm x30cm) Squarish Stretched Canvas

What’s better to grace our canvas than an art piece that features two Singapore’s iconic favourites – “Pulled Tea” Teh Tarik, and Singapore Batik-Orchid Motif. Batik with orchids has been a distinctive feature of the Singapore identity, beauty and grace, as evident in many of Singapore’s national costumes and cultural influences.

Specially designed using batik as its base, orchids and butterflies are both combined into a design inspired by the traditional techniques of batik, which its designer lovingly calls the “Orchid Spring of Singapore”. The entire canvas is finished with colour accents that reminds one of colonial heritage along with straight, neat hemmed edges and a typical scene of a street hawker performing “Pulled Tea”. “Pulled Tea” also known as Teh Tarik, is a strong, bittersweet hot tea mixed with sweet creamy condensed milk that’s repeatedly poured between two cups until it presents a rich, frothy appearance.
