Singapore Food History

Ai Ling Sim-Devadas said:

Have you ever wondered what makes Singapore food ticks? Why is hawker food (street-food) so popular? What did people of Singapore eat in the early 20th century? How did laksa come about? Singaporefoodhistory.com is a resource for anyone interested in Singapore food history. It includes reference to useful books (including the first bibliography of Singapore's cookbooks), events, traditional recipes and links.

Recommended by menofclay: "A look at the history of our Singapore food; includes recipes from yester-years. Ai-Ling is also looking for clues to the origin of our humble curry puff (and its mysterious similarities to the Cornish pastry)"

It's not Cornish pastry. It's Cornish pasty. And yes, they do look similar - see the pic on this site

Apologies for the spelling oversight. What a difference an "r" makes. ;p
