Zaithoon and Taahira Booya: “Suddenly Bon Appetit and Delicious Magazine have all kinds of heritage food showing up and I think that will spiral people to think about how the food that they are eating is a big part of their identity. If you eat it at restaurants but you can’t make it, are you really building that make-up of yourself? It takes provocation and self-awareness, but it will come.” Baby T and Mama Zi, the mother-daughter duo behind Spice Zi kitchen, join Singapore Noodles founder Pamelia Chia to discuss just why it is so important for Singaporeans to be embracing their culture, plus: *Indian Muslim culture and food* *The importance of embracing our culture* *Agak-agak cooking in Singapore* *Superstitions in the Singaporean kitchen* *How local food and cooking can stay relevant today* *Shattering stereotypes of a woman in a scarf* *Fostering gotong royong (community spirit)* *The appeal of wet markets*
