About the Singapore chapter

The chapter's two bases are unusual for this book: kaya, a coconut and pandan jam, and the chilli sauce that belongs to chicken rice.

One is breakfast and one is lunch, which is roughly how the chapter reads - a set of dishes that are ordered rather than assembled at home.
