A Sensory Journey of Singapore: from Past to Present TESS BAR & RESTAURANT Lee Zhang An & Martin Wong Gold Medal Winner “Let me tell you the story of this island called Singapura,” he said, for she celebrates her Silver Jubilee this year. And so they chatted over tea, from morning till dusk, as he recounted 50 years of Singapore’s journey from swampland to the Garden City. They hung on to each other’s words as each took the place of a story-teller, bringing each other’s imaginations through the journey of their wildest tales. And this is our story of Singapore, who celebrated 50 years of nation building in 2015. While our first edition in the qualifying rounds explored the journey of gastronomical experiences by remembering our origins and what grounds us, this second edition takes us from origin to who we are today, as we embark on the story of Singapore, derived from the Malay word, Singapura. See through her eyes and smells we embrace the nation’s spirit; we hear the peoples’ murmurs and feel the rich heritage and pride pulsing through their veins. Delight in indulging your taste buds in Singapore’s pursuit for gastronomic innovation, in this Real High Tea that Tess presents to you.
