A Culinary Journey Beyond Expectations
By Freya M., Melbourne
As someone who has always loved exploring cultures through food, my trip to Singapore felt like stepping into a culinary wonderland. With Carys as my guide, every meal was an adventure. We started the day at Maxwell Food Centre, where I tasted the legendary chicken rice for the first time. The simplicity of the dish, paired with the rich flavors of the sauce, was unforgettable.
Carys took me through the bustling streets of Chinatown, stopping at hidden stalls and introducing me to the history behind each dish. She explained the origins of laksa and its role in Peranakan cuisine, and I learned about the delicate balance of flavors that makes Singaporean food so special.
The real highlight came when we joined a cooking class in a local home. Rolling up my sleeves to make chili crab from scratch gave me a newfound appreciation for the skill and passion behind Singaporean cooking. As we sat around the table enjoying our meal, I realized that food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to connect with a culture on a deeply personal level.
