iPRECIATION is proud to show 14 works from “Flavours of Life” series by Tay Bak Chiang, which capture the resonant connection between food, culture, and memory at VOCO Link Bridge.
Hawker centres and coffee shops form the backdrop of the works, illustrating their role as vital parts of daily life in Singapore, offering affordable meals that cater to all segments of society. These venues represent a cornerstone of Singapore’s rich culinary heritage. Everyday meals like wonton noodles, char siew rice, and youtiao transformed from mere sustenance into symbols of comfort and stability, their cultural and emotional significance magnified.
Exhibiting at VOCO Link Bridge, between VOCO Orchard Hotel and The Four Seasons Hotel on Orchard Road—a renowned tourist and shopping district—the exhibits do more than just showcase local cuisines; they celebrates them as influential catalysts for cultural connections that reach beyond Singapore’s shores, offering a taste of something truly unique. As the saying goes, food is a universal language, an expression of one’s cultural identity, served with hospitality, a poignant reminder of the cultural significance of food and its ability to connect us to our heritage, to each other, and to the wider world.
