Food lies at the heart of one’s identity. As a Singapore Malay, food historian (and former maths teacher) Khir Johari embarked on a life’s mission to weave the histories, cultures and beliefs of the Singapore Malay community into stories, travelogues and recipes that make up his 624‑page tome,. First released in November 2021, the book has been reprinted twice: in March and September last year.
