“Edible Heritage and Sensory Heritage Making in Chinatown and Little India (Singapore)”

Funded by the National Heritage Board (Singapore)

Project Description:

This project seeks to document and analyze foodscapes and sensory heritage in Singapore. It does so with particular reference to the case studies of Chinatown and Little India in reflecting how everyday memories and gastronomic experiences serve as avenues through which sensory heritage may be delineated and constructed. Through its research, the project hopes to be able to make pertinent contributions towards the study of intangible cultural heritage, social memory and food studies in Singapore.
