Now revised, and with a new story, this is the second edition of the bestselling collection of stories and essays by Stephen Black."Part stream of consciousness, part poetry, part historical research , it's a deeply personal yet wholly accessible journey... Along the way, Stephen uncovers Tiong Bahru's 1930s origins as Singapore's first public housing estate; immerses himself in its famous foods as he breakfasts on half-boiled eggs with kaya toast or dines on porridge, mee pok or yong tau foo, and reflects with some pain on astronomic price rises, a creeping loss of authenticity, and the fall of the area to yuppies, expats and the super-rich."- Expat Living"Unlike anything else I've read... funny quirks yet balances the political undertone perfectly. The book involves history, humor, culture and most importantly, food (or rather, taste)."- Barrett Books "Black's love letter is one of the best introductions to a country and a state of mind that you might read."Art Review Asia"Food writing, local history and gossipy accounts of crimes and scandals? an unexpectedly engaging read - full of bizarre and fascinating tidbits."Ilbonito Blog

These unique guides are sumptuously photographed and chock-a-block with invaluable information. They are the ultimate, pocketable companion for the travelling foodie, helping them cut to the chase, culinary speaking. Made by food-lovers for food lovers, these books are for tourists who want a reliable entree into local dining, without having to waste time. They're for those who want authentic food experiences and to rub shoulders with locals. Focused squarely on the cuisine of a particular city, they are structured around 12 iconic dishes, with information on not just what these are but, most importantly, where they can be found. But these books don't stop at just 12 dishes. The restaurants listed represent much more than these essential bites - they are starting points for one's own culinary finds. They also include foodie shopping guides, bar listings, dining tips from well-known locals, where to find food streets and more. Singapore in 12 Dishes is structured around iconic dishes such as laksa, bak kut teh, roti prata, chilli crab, nasi lemak and fish head curry. There are also sections devoted to Hawker dining (including a comprehensive photo ID of dishes), bars, where to eat Peranakan food, guides to ethnic enclaves Kampong Glam and Little India and how to combine coffee and cake with a walk around the art deco neighbourhood, Tiong Bahru.

Stephen Black wrote these short stories during the three years he lived in one of Singapore's most interesting neighborhoods: Tiong Bahru. This unusual collection of short stories and essays captures the end of an era without being nostalgic. ..".a 'lyrical documentary' on Tiong Bahru, which gave me many hours of pure pleasure... It's in Paris that I read it, and followed all of the descriptions and encounters, street by street, on my detailed map of Singapore... I loved the book." M. Abreu "Black's brief love-letter to his now former home is one of the best introductions to a country and a state of mind that you might read." ArtReview Asia " This Caucasian man had not only written the sentiments towards Tiong Bahru of its people, but also the past and memories of those departed. He didn't want to write on the perfections; he used lighthearted humour to describe raw experiences and stories. From learning how to bake English and Nonya pastries at Galicier to observing passersby from below the escalator, it was like a courtship of sorts between him and Tiong Bahru. He had triggered our memories; not only had he given all those who hold great sentiments of this place a little consolation and joy, but also the freedom of discovery for those who are curious about this place. " -Jacob Tan Wei "Part stream of consciousness, part poetry, part historical research, it's a deeply personal yet wholly accessible journey... Along the way, Stephen uncovers Tiong Bahru's 1930s origins as Singapore's first public housing estate; immerses himself in its famous foods as he breakfasts on half-boiled eggs with kaya toast or dines on porridge, mee pok or yong tau foo, and reflects with some pain on astronomic price rises, a creeping loss of authenticity, and the fall of the area to yuppies, expats and the super-rich. Cute as the presentation of this diminutive book may be, I'd like to see it in a larger format-- and perhaps illustrated with the kind of gritty yet dreamy photography that we saw in the same author's 'Bus Stopping' book a couple of years ago." -Expat Living "Unlike anything else I've read... funny quirks balance the political undertone perfectly. The book involves history, humor, culture and most importantly, food (or rather, taste)." -Barrett Books (Thea's Books & Violins The I Ate Tiong Bahru design has been used in glassware and T shirts.

“It’s a double pleasure to read this… First, there’s the joy of gleaning nuggets of knowledge about Singapore and the printed word hitherto unknown; and second, there’s the childlike wonder of never knowing what Stephen Black has in store for us on the next page.” ~ Ng Yi-Sheng recipient of the Singapore Literature Prize Full of grief, Singaporean history, printing press lore and sweet memories of love, to read Contact With Shadow is to experience loss– and redemption. The story: a Cambridge research student comes to Singapore to learn about the island’s pre-Linotype printing history. His wife, an amateur chef, is killed by lightning. Overwhelmed with a sense of loss, he struggles to write his thesis. More often than not, his words are about the woman he loved. A bureaucratic “assistant” enters the picture, as does a Hollywood producer… Contact With Shadow is an experience, not just a reading experience.

New York Times Bestseller The good, the bad, and the ugly, served up Bourdain-style. Bestselling chef and Parts Unknown host Anthony Bourdain has never been one to pull punches. In The Nasty Bits, he serves up a well-seasoned hellbroth of candid, often outrageous stories from his worldwide misadventures. Whether scrounging for eel in the backstreets of Hanoi, revealing what you didn't want to know about the more unglamorous aspects of making television, calling for the head of raw food activist Woody Harrelson, or confessing to lobster-killing guilt, Bourdain is as entertaining as ever. Bringing together the best of his previously uncollected nonfiction--and including new, never-before-published material--The Nasty Bits is a rude, funny, brutal and passionate stew for fans and the uninitiated alike.

Life in the HDB heartlands can be a real bitch. Especially when every uncle, auntie, ah beng, foreign worker, ang moh and maid out there wants to eat your flesh.It’s 28 days — or at least we think it’s 28 — after the zombie apocalypse. This is Jim: Ghim Moh resident, undergraduate and apocalypse survivor. Sanctuary is waiting in Tiong Bahru, but there are five million very hungry meat munchers in the way. And all he’s got to fend them off with is his parang and a backpack. Sure, there’s Selina the crazy girl with the tattoos and Raj the law graduate to help out. But it doesn’t mean they can’t get infected.Welcome to the brand new Singapore, where meat munchers and wayangs roam the land, and you’d better have a weapon ready. After all, when there’s no more government to complain to, survival is your own problem. About the Author Nicholas Yong is a freelance writer and co-founder of the geek news website, www.geekcrusade.com. Before the infection, he was a reporter with The Straits Times from 2008 to 2013.
