Singapore's cuisine: a cultural melting pot

From Peranakan food, to curry fish head, the island nation's culinary offerings are linked to its immigrants

"The history of food in Singapore is inextricably linked to the country's immigration history," says Allan Lim, a Singaporean entrepreneur.

Lim was sitting at Indocafe - the white house, a restaurant located at 35 Scotts Road which specializes in Peranakan food, developed by the offspring of 15th century Chinese immigrants and the local island population.
