Story of Heritage Cuisine in Singapore
Drawing on a lifetime of custodianship and elevation of our culinary heritage,
At Rempapa, Chef Damian points the way forward as he showcases our magnificent culinary legacy, and also strives to make it relevant to the next generation, as preservation lies with them.
When Damian D’Silva was just 11, his grandfather who was teaching him recipes asked him why he wanted to learn them. Damian replied, ‘So that I can still eat the food you cook when you die.’
Precocity had told the child that heritage was not so much for the dead as for the living. It also told him that it would take energy and dedication to keep that heritage alive; make it relevant; and pass it on.
