Damian D’Silva’s charming, witty essay follows the renowned chef ’s upbringing in post-war Singapore, from the unstable 50s to the swinging 60s. He recollects his mother’s cooking, and that of his Malay neighbours, which he used to enjoy as a child. In this book, the Bad Boy of the local food scene also brings us for a crazy ride through Orchard Road in the 70s, during his more tumultuous youth.
