Singapore’s food heritage comprises a blend of flavours and traditions from our diverse communities. The cooking methods, whether from local communities or brought here by early settlers, tell stories of home and tradition.
Embark on a gastronomic adventure where seniors and children create local heritage food together at the National Museum of Singapore with the guidance of culinary educators. This Heritage Food Series consists of four workshops, each covering different traditional and multicultural recipes.
In addition to the hands-on cooking and baking sessions, participants will also experience how food history can come alive through guided conversations and Touch Museum artefacts such as tools used in the trade.
