Some minority ethnic groups in Singapore keep food heritage alive through online sales
SINGAPORE: Before making way for the nation's development, Mr Firdaus Sani's family once called Pulau Semakau, off the southern coast of Singapore, home. His mother and grandmother crafted coastal dishes with ingredients sourced from both land and sea. Five years ago, he decided to honour that heritage by launching an online food business centred on the traditional cuisine of the Orang Laut, also known as the people of the sea. Beloved dishes include Gulai Nenas (pineapples in peppery prawn broth) and Sotong Hitam (fresh squid in savoury squid ink paste). As the National Day long weekend approaches, Mr Firdaus said he has seen a 30 per cent surge in orders. 'I think the stories that come with (our food) are very important, and how they derive from communities that are no longer living on the southern islands,' he told CNA. 'It's important that these dishes represent something that is bigger, something that is lost.' Mr Firdaus has turned down offers to expand into a restaurant in order to keep the venture both authentic and manageable for his mother, who does most of the cooking. 'For me, this is intangible cultural heritage. We want to make sure that we're able to upkeep and continue a certain legacy,' he added. Amid a surge in interest, he is cooking up plans to launch food heritage tours and communal dining sessions under the SG Culture Pass initiative. The SG Culture Pass gives all Singaporeans aged 18 and above S$100 (US$80) in credits to enjoy local arts, culture, and heritage programmes. Like Mr Firdaus, several businesses specialising in minority ethnic dishes have reported an increase in orders amid festivities leading up to Singapore's 60th birthday. These small businesses have ventured into the online space in efforts to preserve their niche culinary heritage. They also hope to introduce their unique, hard-to-find traditional dishes to a wider audience through heritage festivals and community events. CHANGING TASTES Mr Chester Matthias Tan from the Heritage Business Foundation highlighted the important role food plays in shaping Singapore's national story. 'For a lot of other engagements with culture, you have to make a deliberate decision to go to a museum (or) to try out a craft,' said the founder of the non-profit organisation dedicated to the advancement of Singapore's heritage. 'But food is everywhere, and we consume it every day. So food is a very easy way for people to be connected with their culture, for them to experience it, not in a spectacular fashion like it's a special occasion but just as something that they experience every day.' However, he noted that a key challenge lies in changing tastes, emphasising that early exposure to traditional flavours is crucial in cultivating lasting appreciation. 'There are recipes that are at risk of disappearing, that are connected to each of the different ethnic groups. A lot of them are recipes that are very difficult to prepare,' he said. 'They are very laborious, and the skills required to prepare them, or just the time investment, is not really something that we see very often nowadays.' SHARING WITH A WIDER AUDIENCE Seventy-six-year-old Mary Gomes is equally committed to preserving the culinary traditions of Singapore's Eurasian community. Taught to cook by her mother, she became one of the first to publish a dedicated Eurasian cookbook in Singapore in 2001. 'I remember whatever simple dishes my mum used to cook for us, because she was so versatile,' she said. 'When she went to the market, whatever she could get her hands on, she would come back and cook something out of it.' Madam Gomes is now turning to heritage events as a way to share her culture with more people. 'They can see for themselves what they like, what type of food they like. Some people don't have a very clear view of how Eurasian food is prepared,' she said. 'They always think that ours maybe could be more Western, but actually they don't know we are very close in line with the Peranakan style of cooking.' Mdm Gomes now runs an online business after closing her cafe three years ago. She said that sales have been growing by at least 10 per cent annually. To ensure her culture lives on, she is gradually passing the baton to her daughter and collaborating with organisations like the Eurasian Association and the Peranakan Museum through cultural events.

Theatre review: In Geoff Sobelle's Food, restaurants devolve into magical chaos
Food Geoff Sobelle Singtel Waterfront Theatre Aug 6, 8pm For those eschewing spoilers, look away now. American theatremaker Geoff Sobelle's magic theatre Food runs on surprise and chaos – glassware smashed to smithereens on the ground, and moulded earth models of bison seemingly materialising out of thin air. Sobelle transforms from penguin-suited waiter to competitive eater that would put even the best mukbang (South Korean live-streamed eating) hosts to shame. It is a devastating and bodily experience of how far humans have strayed from their evolutionary roots, the cost of endless building, and the unseen exploitation involved in the mundane ritual of dining in a restaurant. Part of The Esplanade Theatre's The Studios season centred on the theme of sustenance, Food forgoes conventional narrative. Its target is always maximum visual impact – and even a tinge of fear in the audience, who can never be certain how violent Sobelle's next act will be. There is absolute commitment, and then some, by Sobelle and his team, whether serving up raw ingredients or fast-forwarding through human civilisation, from agrarian to industrial. Perhaps this devotion is best exemplified by an intricate and very large chandelier made of plastic debris that is a constant reminder of the current plastic era – a Damocles sword always waiting to fall, ultimately never used. The apposite reaction is equal parts nervous laughter and horror. Yet, the constant sleight of hand by Sobelle, which would confound even professional magicians, also leaves room for a sliver of wonderment: 'Surely he isn't doing that. He is doing that, but is he really? And if yes, how?' Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed. Singapore Some ageing condos in Singapore struggle with failing infrastructure, inadequate sinking funds Singapore Wastewater overflow in Bedok and Chai Chee due to choked sewer at BTO worksite: PUB Singapore Teen's love of dance powers her through cancer to perform at NDP2025 Singapore Jail for driver who drove over leg of special needs woman in accident on church driveway Asia Kpods, zombie oil or etomidate? A new name may help Hong Kong curb its youth drug crisis Singapore Man handed three vaping-related charges including importing more than 3,000 pods Singapore Man charged over 5 e-vaporiser pods containing etomidate, including 3 for sale World Trump's 100% semiconductor tariffs may hit chipmakers in Singapore, other SEA nations Beyond Food's timely message of gluttony and waste, it is likely these thoughts will occupy the audience long after they have taken photos of the final desolate set and dispersed, their appetites either whetted or temporarily sickened. Singtel Waterfront Theatre has been transformed beyond recognition, with a massive table seating 10 audience members on each side the centrepiece. These are people who have paid extra for their tickets and one is wont not to envy them. They are the ones who have to order from Sobelle's deranged menu, and who are enlisted to read from extensive prompts. There is many a reason for their wine spillage, which will not be revealed here. But Sobelle's inventory is endless, pulling out bowl after bowl of uncooked food that will transform how one sees a simple order of a baked potato. A trip to the ice floes of the Arctic to secure fish is particularly transportive – though there is also laksa, the first of a series of localising touches that make this work feel properly regional. Until the light goes down and the next few perfectly choreographed, disturbing acts begin. You almost expect Sobelle to shout, a la Russell Crowe in the 2000 epic Gladiator: 'Are you not entertained?' The sound design for Food is phenomenally good, roving and immersive and almost forcing the audience to echo-locate their source. Sobelle never drops his mask, and effortlessly takes the audience along on his maximalist vision. The work may not say anything new, but it is an angry cry for more conscientious consumption, which must begin with a re-engagement of the senses. It is these that once brought people's ancestors out of the ocean and up the trees: a time more in tune with nature. Book It/Food
