About the event
Singapore is often called a food paradise; but is it the same as being a land of plenty? What food stories can we uncover from history, or salvage from the scraps we throw away in our present-day kitchens? In this session of Beyond Text, we look at how eco-theatre and food literature helps us rethink eating local, our relationship with food, and its historical roots on our shores. Join our panel as they delve into the food heritage of Singapore and the Malay Archipelago, and discuss what food sustainability means to them.
