Food speaks of Amma’s journey initiated as a daughter in a large family in rural Sembawang. First recipes were learnt from her mother and elder sisters through daily practice. Then as a young bride in a multi-generational household.
Moving into a new 3-room HDB flat with small kids, she shared dishes and recipes with her multiracial neighbours.
Amma’s commercial cooking experience started when she made pooris and bajis in a relative’s breakfast stall in a coffeeshop. Fast forward to present day, Amma still enjoys learning and adapting recipes from cable TV to feed family and friends in her home.
To cook and feed is her way of expressing love.
