Pink Chili in a Bowl

Neither a tourist guide nor a work of historical records, Pink Chilli in a Bowl is a personal archive of forgotten places and time-honoured buildings that may someday be wiped out—some of which have already disappeared amidst the backdrop of a city that is constantly developing. These pages detail an intangible side of Singapore, encouraging readers to tap into their imaginations and reconstruct their mental map of the island nation in ways that inspire them.

Each Constellation is composed of three different types of entries: restaurant, food, and landmark, which can all be found within a twenty- to forty-minute promenade.

The Stars are single, isolate singular entries in a specific location or characteristic that is worth highlighting.

The Essays are contributions made by food-enthusiastic writers about Singaporean eateries which contextualise the current survey into the specifics of the social, cultural, and political environment in this island-nation.

The Archives are curated selections of photographs which showcase the generic patterns of diversity in Singapore.

A poster is included with every book purchase.
