Magazine Description
In this issue
What’s the future of food? It’s a question that opens a Pandora’s box of open-ended answers and further questions. That’s why, this issue, we decided to tackle the topic across a broad spectrum of angles. For a wee bit of crystal-gazing, we ask trusted food luminaries like Loh Lik Peng and Beppe De Vito for their takes on the future of food up to 2050. In our stories on the future of food, bug snacks, 3D food printing and lab-grown meats, we think about how we can tackle pressing issues facing our food system and how our diets and lifestyles may change in a not-so-distant future. Meanwhile, avant garde chefs Ryan Clift and Han Li Guang go wild in our pictorial spread, envisioning what would be #OnTheTable in 30 years and Apollo Aquaculture tells us why vertical fish farming is the way to go. In regular news, we check out new restaurant openings and new menus at The Gyu Bar, Majestic Restaurant and more, and catch up with one of our favourite heritage heroes at Jie Bakery. We hear ‘Chef’s Talk’ guest Ivan Brehm’s views on how technology and social media can be a double-edged sword, and interview pastry chefs duo Ben Goh, InterContinental and Carina Tan, Fairmont. Last but not least, we suss out trending wines at Pro Wein international wine far in Dusseldorf; learn how Bordeaux winemakers are giving their region’s wines a makeover, and go on a food journey in historic Delhi.

Nutmeg's Role In Singapore's History
From tales of it being used to ward off the plague in mid-1300s Europe to one of the ingredients in dessert, we have all known, tasted, or at least heard of nutmeg. But not many know of the spice’s role in Singapore’s history.
New And Improved
The ever-profound chef-owner Kenjiro ‘Hatch’ Hashida finds more room, three to be exact, to express a Ha Ri philosophy at Hashida Singapore’s new location at Amoy Street.
Pairing Spice-Driven Cuisines With Wine
Pairing spice-driven cuisines with wine has long been a challenge but with a little imagination, it doesn’t have to be.
Let Land Grow Wild
Niew Tai-Ran has worn many hats: aeronautical engineering major, investment banker, avid surfer, and, for the last 14 years, winemaker. Discover how this Malaysia-born, Singapore-native is championing the “do-nothing farming” philosophy at his vineyard in Oregon.
The South Asian Misnomer
Incredibly diverse and varied than most know, Indian food is far more intriguing than butter chicken or thosai. Here is a crash course on the extensive cuisine from region to region, recognisable for the seemingly infinite ways of using spices.
Keepers Of The Spice Trade
From its glory days along trade routes to pantry staples all over the world, spices have become so commonplace that we’ve taken them for granted. For these three trailblazers, however, spice is their livelihood and motivation: Langit Collective working with indigenous rural farming communities in Malaysia; IDH’s Sustainable Spice Initiative; and chef Nak’s one-woman mission to share forgotten Khmer cuisine.
Sugar, Spice And Everything Nice
Like food, spices bring vibrancy and variety to alcoholic beverages. Surfacing in unexpected ways on the palate, find everything from cumin to tamarind, cloves to cardamom enriching these drinks.
Building Blocks From The Archipelago
For the smorgasbord of dishes found in Indonesian cuisine, it is a little known secret that the modest bumbu, in all its variants, is the bedrock of such flavourful fare.
