What are the kind of main dishes? Is it rice or noodles or what kind of food is it? It's
I mean, we are a city, I would say, I would describe Singapore as the city of foodies.
You go to any Singaporean, you don't greet each other with, hello, how have you been? It's, have you eaten? Let's go makan, which means let's eat.
And and so we will and every center or the bottom of every community, you have these food hubs because literally all we do is go out to eat because we are very lucky and privileged that we can go out to eat every single meal nearly for an affordable price.
We have I would say nearly 10 national dishes because we cannot decide on one because we are built of so many different communities and diverse cultures.
So it's hard to say for somebody it could be maybe a curried fish head curry.
So I made upon ourselves to do meh-meh exactly how my mum would cook Honeys chicken rice.
So your sister's in the business or they're just part of the inspiration? Oh, no, no, no.
