Food is an abiding Singapore passion - an obsession quite simply because there’s so much of it that’s so good on this tiny multicultural island.

This book is a veritable compendium of beloved local classics, including the most fabulous Hainanese Chicken Rice and Singapore Chili Crab you will have ever eaten, as well as less common but equally delightful dishes, such as Ayam Tampra and Nasi Ulam.

The recipes are well written, easy to follow, and accompanied by clear colour photographs. The reader’s acquaintance - or re-acquaintance - with Singapore food promises to be an exciting and mouth-watering experience.
