Heritage Food - Ingredients and Dishes

Listen Later

Pamelia Chia from Singapore Noodles comes onto our show this episode to discuss Heritage Food with us. It is a topic that is novel and complicated only because Singapore is an immigrant nation and we are starting to see a new wave of food evolution with influences from Japanese and European styles. In this lively conversation, we:

  • Discuss what exactly constitutes heritage food in a rapidly changing food environment
  • Go through iconic heritage ingredients such as Pangi and the Roselle Leaf, and get hungry over heritage dishes such as Nasi Ulam and Gulai Nenas
  • Envision what it will take to preserve heritage food in the future

    • You'll see Singapore like you never have before. Also, SUBSCRIBE to our Substack to get bonus content right in your email - Click Here!
