  Which temple in Singapore honors Kali?
  
  And what forms of worships are done to her? Heard she can do "things" for you if worshiped correctly.

  Sri Mariamman Temple has her statue at the darkest part of the Temple. I saw before - very eerie and her holding entrails and a decapitated head and a few other things .
  
  Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and Sri Ruthra Kaliamman Temple are dedicated to her. Note the kali in the midst of the name.
  
  For her to do anything for you , you have to do something to yourself first. In the ancient days - human sacrifices were made to her. Some of her devotees were said to disembowel themselves in dedication.
  
  Correct me if I am wrong.

  There's following temple's exist in Kali's honor..
  
  Vairavimada Kaliamman Temple - Toa Payoh Lorong 8
  Vadabathira Kaliamman Temple - Serangoon Road
  Veeramma Kaliamman Temple - Serangoon Road
  Ruthra Kaliamman Temple - Depot Road (Opposite CMPB Building)
  
  Mariamman Temple does have a shrine for Kali.. But its depicts the calm aspect of her..
  
  (No temple in Singapore has Kali in her fierce form due to religious reasons)

  According to the stories.... all the gods (or at least all that i know of) can do "things" for you if worshipped correctly.
  
  They can also punish you if you disrespect them.
  
  But Worshipping a deity just for boons or favours just isn't right.
