This research studies how Singapore identity is created and reflected in food. Food is also utilised by the Singapore state in defining the discourse of multiculturalism in the city-state. A qualitative approach was utilized in this research. An ethnographic study was carried out in three hawker centres in Singapore. A survey was also conducted with Singaporeans based overseas. Finally, a contextual analysis on “Overseas Singapore Day” was carried out. This event is organised by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) annually. My findings show that food is a form of cultural hybridity in Singapore, and it opposes to how the state defines the Singapore identity in its discourse.Bachelor of Art
