Synopsis

What memories do you carry from your grandmother’s kitchen? From Grandma’s Kitchen traces memory and identity across generations—through time, tradition, reinvention, and the food that connects us all.

 

Featuring:

  • Ariff Zin, Head Chef at Rumah Makan Minang, who preserves Minangkabau culinary heritage while using technology to reimagine how tradition is cooked, scaled, and savoured.

  • Violet Oon, Chef-Restaurateur, Violet Oon Singapore. A pioneer of Singapore’s food scene, Violet is a celebrated food critic, cookbook author, and culinary ambassador who will share insights into the stories and evolution of Singapore’s food culture.

 

In a panel conversation, we’ll ask:

  • How do we tell our stories through food and art?

  • What does it mean to represent Singaporean culture today?

  • How can we preserve the recipes and stories that live in memory, not on paper?

 

Expect an evening of warm nostalgia, honest reflection, and rich dialogue—where memory is shared not just through meals, but through technology, storytelling, and community.
