Perhaps more than any other Southeast Asian city, Singapore has seen tumultuous changes that have catapulted this once-sleepy colonial port into a buzzing metropolis. From its humble beginnings, it has emerged with an identity, social lifestyle and language imbued with the most fascinating mix.

In Stir-Fried and Not Shaken, Singapore’s favourite cookbook author, TV chef and food writer Terry Tan takes a trip down memory lane offering an intriguing insight into a very different Singapore that existed from the 1940s to 1970s. Resident or visitor, you will be endlessly fascinated by his memoirs that recall funny, familiar and forgotten moments of this forty-year passage. Meet Khan Chia Peh the trishaw man, Muthu the barber, and delight in Granny’s flying fox curries.

Peel away the decades and discover what it feels like to be “stir-fried but not shaken”. Lap up the mirth of his anecdotal observations, and enjoy memories that would otherwise be relegated to the mists of history.
