Neither a tourist guide nor a work of historical records, “Pink Chilli in a Bowl” is a personal archive of forgotten places and time-honoured buildings that may someday be wiped out—some of which have already disappeared amidst the backdrop of a city that is constantly developing. These pages detail an intangible side of Singapore, encouraging readers to tap into their imaginations and reconstruct their mental map of the island nation in ways that inspire them.
Each Constellation is composed of three different types of entries: restaurant, food, and landmark, which can all be found within a twenty-to forty-minute promenade.
The Stars are singular entries in a specific location or characteristic that is worth highlighting.
