Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: Armchair eating in Singapore

I miss Singapore, and was delighted to find some issues of their epicure magazine available today -- only digitally, which I really do not prefer, but that'll have to be enough for now. Here is their official site, with a cool picture for this month:

I just started reading the August 2014 issue, which I'm trying first, which I got through http://www.zinio.com/www/browse/issue.jsp?skuId=416310714 ...and I'm really enjoying the vicarious pleasure of reading about wonderful food there again. I also thought it was appropriate to begin with an issue with "What It Means to Eat Like a Singaporean" on the cover.

My favorite bit so far actually is an ad! from the Mandarin Orchard hotel there, about the Moon Festival which of course I missed:

You'll find old and new ideas on this site...

I love playing with both food and history and am trying to combine these loves here and in various projects. My most recently published was a fun 3-volume set, which you can get free below, which speaks much of cuisine in a little known part of the world from earliest times to 700 CE....Speaking of old, this is a reincarnation of three old blogs, one shared with friends all over the world and called something like Our Favorite Food This Week, and then one called That Was Delicious that started my toying with retro food ideas, and then A History Writer in the Kitchen where I explored history more....I have kept many posts from those blogs, including many recipes I thought you might like.

Enjoy!
