WHY MAJULAH SINGAPURA?
Growing up in Singapore, as a Singaporean, singing the national anthem day after day in school…the words Majulah Singapura were just words to me. I didn’t understand what they meant until my Malaysian friend told me what Maju meant (she also told me that our national anthem was pretty basic).

With the genesis of OwnselfMakeChef, it led me to think about the food I wanted to cook. I knew that I wanted to use the flavours of food I grew up with, Singaporean and South East Asian flavours, but it also made me question myself – what is Singaporean Food, what are Singaporean Flavours?

Singapore is relatively young cuisine wise and we are still growing and developing constantly with different international cuisines, different ingredients and techniques influencing the very way we eat and cook.

There are still constants and with the Majulah Singapura Lor Dinner, I have used South East Asian herbs, spices and sauces – pairing them with premium produce from Singapore, and the rest of the world. It is a real treat to work with local producers like Nanyang Sauce, Hong Spices, Ah Hua Kelong and Handpicked to craft a new narrative for Singapore food.

This menu is an homage to Singapore, its beautiful abundance in flavours, cuisines/influences and ideas. It tells the story of WHERE I have come from (the nasi lemak hawker stall, to Wok & Barrel). WHERE I am now (OwnselfMakeCHef) and perhaps HOW I will move forward, progress and advance while still staying true to my roots – Majulah Singapura Lor! And no OwnselfmakeChef Dinner would be complete without a little Singlish, so liddat LOR!
