About this Event
What You'll Do
Fill your hearts and your stomachs with some good Thai food! Benjawan and Chris are no strangers to sharing food - they’ve hosted friends and neighbours in their lovely home, and have even shared their cooking with their neighbours in the estate! The couple will be serving up Khao Kha Moo, or braised pork leg, which is a cherished dish that brings back memories of Benjawan’s time helping her grandmother out in the kitchen when she was younger. Despite only catching the bug for cooking later in life, these dishes that she has recreated from memory are a celebration and tribute to her grandmother.
About What’s For My Dinner
In moments of remembrance, food becomes a heartfelt tribute to our departed loved ones. This year, join us as we witness the preparation of these special meals and learn about the connection between food and the departed from communities from different cultures, nationalities and background.
Multiculturalism is important in Singapore as it serves as the bedrock of the nation's societal fabric. It fosters mutual respect and harmony among diverse ethnic communities with different cultural practices, languages and religions. This shared understanding bridges social divides, cultivating an environment where every individual feels valued and included. It shapes Singapore's unique identity on the global stage, fortifying its reputation as a cosmopolitan hub.
Food serves as a conduit for understanding and appreciating our neighbours’ culture and traditions. From Singaporean food to ASEAN cuisine to far beyond, there are dishes sure to suit everyone’s tastebuds. Through interacting with members from different communities, What’s For My Dinner aims to inculcate a greater awareness of the diverse communities residing in Singapore. It spotlights Singapore, through many of its culinary adaptions, as a melting pot of cultures and encourages deeper appreciation of our multicultural identity. Be inspired by the flavours and friendships and let us makan (dine)!
