Eating while travelling is a great thing – but learning how to cook the local dishes is even better. In Singapore there is unique institution that combines several fine ideas. Stay-at-home-moms or elderly ladies have a hard time getting back into paid work. But they are treasure troves of local lore and they know the recipes of the local dishes. Combine this with foreigners who want to learn more about their host country and who like food and you got a winning combination.
We learned how to cook hainanese chicken rice (really learned it including several cooking tricks) and the result was very tasty. There is a reason Tripadvisor lists Food Playground as No.1 activity to do in Singapore. We agree.
