In cooking and eating, Singaporeans find comfort and identity. Phrases like "you are what you eat" resonate strongly, as food carries emotional weight and history—from a mother’s recipe to the stories of ancestors. Incorporating local ingredients and underrated flavors into dishes reflects an appreciation for Singapore’s rich, diverse culinary heritage. A future plan includes opening a private dining space that showcases local ingredients and fosters personal connections between chefs and diners, emphasizing that the soul of a nation is often expressed through its cuisine.
