Description

Hawker Colours: Melamine Tableware in Singapore
by Hans Tan Studio, Justin Zhuang and Sheere Ng

They refer not to the green of chendol or the red of mee goreng but the riot of colourful melamine plates and bowls in which many hawker dishes in Singapore are served today. Red, green, yellow, purple, pink, and more!

These colours defy conventional aesthetic sensibilities, and yet they have become entrenched in local hawker centres and coffee shops. Hawker Colours retraces their origins and mass adoption, and asks what value they still hold as the trade adapts to the changing needs of the city-state.

Read a feature about the book by The Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao.
