The Food of Singapore: Simple Street Food Recipes from the Lion City

Influenced by the surrounding islands, China, and other parts of Asia, the cuisine of Singapore has long bewitched prominent taste makers such as James Oseland, the editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine. Yet, few cookbooks have truly delved into the unique flavors of Indonesian food and cooking. At last, The Food of Singapore presents a glorious cross section of traditional recipes such as Chili Crab, Classic Hokkien Mee, and Murtabak, as well as innovative recipes for new favorites, including Tea-smoked Fish Fillets and Barbecued Stingray.

Born in East Java, chef Djoko Wibisono is the perfect guide to introduce Singapore's delicious melange of flavors, and The Food of Singapore is a splendid introduction to a cuisine poised to become the next hot international culinary sensation.
