A lyrical documentary about one of Singapore's most historic areas. This collection of short stories and essays reveals the influences and events that have shaped Southeast Asia and Singapore. Emphasing the food and personalities of the area, I Ate Tiong Bahru avoids the nostalgic and celebrates that which makes the area one of the most distinctive communities in Southeast Asia.
... reads like a travelogue, a personal story and a history book... a pleasure to read.

Unlike anything else I've read... funny quirks balance the political undertone perfectly. The book involves history,humor, culture and most importantly, food (or rather, taste).
