It all started off with a given task. As part of a school project, we were tasked to go on a food trail and have a deeper understanding of 5 fusion foods in Singapore.
Before we could embark on this journey, we had to find the 5 fusion foods to work on. So we all gathered and did some research on the fusion foods that can be found in Singapore. After a long search, we decided on Nasi lemak, Nasi Briyani, Modern Peking duck, Kueh Seri Muka and Kueh tutu. We were curious to know more about these foods, hence we did some research on all the listed foods. We learned much about the different fusion foods but wanted to know even more about these foods and confirm if the sources were reliable. Hence we found locations of these 5 types of foods and embarked on this food trail journey to get a first-hand in depth understanding of them.
As we toured around the food hall of ION Orchard, we spotted the locations we found on the internet. We chose ION Orchard Food Hall as it had all the foods we needed and was the most convenient to get to. We got to the food shops and went through the same procedures for each. First, we bought our researched food from the stalls. Then we went on to asking them if they could accept an interview from us, providing us with more information on the food. A few of them were friendly and kind enough to accept our interview requests. However, the others refused to do so either because they were not in-charge or had no time to entertain us. We thought of buying food from them first as a bribe but unfortunately, the stall keeper at Aunty Kim Choo's refused to even provide us with a detailed explanation of Kueh Seri Muka. When we met with this dilemma, we decided to get information from our kins and record our own voices. Lastly, we tasted the food and we were sure in for a good treat. our tummies almost exploded!
After all the tasting and recording, we went to our fellow member, Rachel Chow's, house to compile all the clips and voice recordings into a video. And we were done with our task for this food trail project. It was indeed a fun and memorable one.
