Who doesn’t love talking about food? It shapes our identity, our relationships, and even the nation. But have you ever thought about how words shape the way we think about food? How certain descriptions can make you salivate and crave a dish before you even see it? That’s exactly what we’re exploring with Tapau: The Best of Malaysian Food Writing (2000-2022), a newly released book that’s basically a literary buffet featuring 29 food-inspired essays, poems, comics, and even academic papers. We’ll be sitting down with the editors behind the book to talk about what makes great food writing, how they curated these pieces, and the role food plays in shaping who we are. You might get hungry listening to this, so get some snacks ready!
