Daily Cuts - Feasting on a Peranakan Banquet

Melanie Oliveiro speaks with local author Arthur Lim about his new book ‘Tok Panjang: The Evolution of a Peranakan Heritage Feast’. Tok Panjang refers to the iconic Peranakan banquet of a wide range of classic, signature dishes. Lim will discuss how his book delves into the origin of the practice – right down to why designated dishes were served together on particular types of crockery. Lim will also talk about his mother’s time-tested Tok Panjang recipes.
