A Taste of History
Five local master chefs share their traditional, time-honoured recipes
IT IS NO SECRET THAT Singaporeans love their food. We're always wondering what to have for dinner before we've finished lunch; and when we're overseas, where and what to eat are just as important as the destination's retail and sightseeing options.
Food is also a way to trace a country's evolution. As part of the Singapore Bicentennial commemoration to mark the arrival of the British in 1819, the Singapore Bicentennial Office is inviting Singaporeans to explore the flavours of our country's past in the food-related campaign Eat Your History.
Over the years, individuals from different communities settled in Singapore, and brought with them their cultures, recipes and flavours. How the dishes evolve reflect how the country's diverse cultures have influenced each other in shaping Singapore as we know it.
