| description | Nicole Tarulevicz opens her book about food in Singapore with a key
question: How does food become its own form of rule-making? She ends
the book with the observation that rules are central to life in Singapore.
Between these two points, she brings to bear a wide range of evidence
concerning food in this unique city state where the relation between food
and nation is especially strong. Singapore is a society in which rules and
regulations matter, a truly prescriptive society that monitors cultural
heritage, the family and the body. |
