來 , Makan Makan





This was a project that I wanted to do after the Kueh series but I had been procrastinating for a long time. It started off as a pitch for a mural of food stalls in Asia for an organisation but the terms was unacceptable and it didn't went through. It was a blessing in disguise, I took the opportunity to start work.





It is easy to take the diversity of food in Singapore for granted as we grew up with access to delicious hawker food to French duck confit. The scene has always been evolving and the food in Singapore is a lot more than chili crab, nasi lemak and Peranakan food. Dig further and you will discover a rich cultural convergence in the tiny red dot.





This work is a snapshot of the dishes you can find in Singapore today, some of restaurants older than the republic and some from new generations of eateries such as Makcik Chicken , Coba Coba, A Noodle Story or Lad & Dad . Some items in the compilation brings nostalgia such as tapioca chips from Singapore Houten or egg tarts from Tong Heng Confectionery .
