Little Perfections romps through the hawker centres, home kitchens, and restaurants of Singapore, tasting everything and chatting with the cooks.
Eating guide, portrait, cookbook, confession, this collection is an insiders tour of Singaporean foodand Singaporean society. In a country where food is identity, how do we decide what our food is worth?
“With wit, candor, and a philosophers eye, Lim Tse Wei transforms the act of eating into literature. These essays shimmer with inventive metaphors, sharp humor, and deep reflection but what stays with you is the humanity. In his hands, sambal belacan, quarantine meals, and grand hotel banquets all become mirrors of memory, community, and meaning. This book is a luminous gathering of a singular voice, as thoughtful as it is unforgettable.”
Khir Johari, author of The Food of Singapore Malays
“Analytic playful sensuous, sharp and sympathetic. More of everything, please!”
Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking
