Description

There's No Carrot in Carrot Cake serves up Singapore's worst-kept secret: fabulous street food. The book introduces 101 unique dishes — their origins and ingredients, how they are cooked, how they should be eaten. It corrects misconceptions, explains fusion food, suggests food pairings, and provides easy-to-follow food tours. With this book, hungry tourists and expatriates will no longer be nonplussed staring at something screaming BUBOR CHA CHA or SATAY BEE HOON! Accompanying each dish is a full-page photograph by Singapore's most popular food blogger Dr Leslie Tay of ieatishootipost.sg. Packed with an extensive and useful index and a listing of food courts and hawker centres, this book is the almanac for anyone with a streak of culinary machismo.
