Synopsis: Food & Culture: Introduction to Singapore’s Unique History and Culture through Food
This gastronomical webinar offers students an opportunity to explore the historical and cultural dimensions of Singapore through its food. This session will introduce students to the concept of how food is an expression of identity, community and history through the unique food and culture of Singapore- a country which embraces ta wonderful mix of flavours from different racial and ethnic groups.Food has always been an important part of Singapore's culture and heritage. Our ancestors brought with them diverse tastes in food when they settled in Singapore and many of these are still enjoyed by Singaporeans today. In December 2020, the importance of Singapore’s food heritage was seen by the inscription of our hawker culture onto UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Students will learn how food is an expression of the country’s unique history and identity, and how it reflects the diverse communities in Singapore. The webinar will also take a look at the various developments that have contributed to our country’s rich food heritage: from traditional kuehs (or cakes) and the sounds of street hawkers, to famous Singaporean dishes now.
