Seetoh's Foreword
The original Chinese flavours that had pervaded Singapore for over a century was coloured largely by the early south Chinese immigrants. They came, mingled with, and adapted the multi culinary concepts of other migrants from India, SE Asia, the Middle East and even from the West. They naturally gave to this land their comfort food culture from home and it also gave rise to a third flavour, that distinct and iconic Singapore taste which came from a sophisticated melding of that heady range of flavours found here. This year's Singapore Food Festival is about celebrating not only that vibrant Chinese dialectic flavours our forebears brought here but also what a newer generation had evolved it to today.
