Storyteller Hafiz Rashid on how Malay cooks made food last — pickling, keepers and the tales behind them, with tasting and recipes.
Pickling vegetables, cooking dishes built to keep for days — Malay households carried those skills for generations, and storyteller Hafiz Rashid gives them 90 minutes at Wisma Geylang Serai. Expect stories, a tasting and guided conversation rather than a demo; the session is not a cooking class. Rashid has worked as a museum docent and volunteered with the National Heritage Board since 2013, telling stories at Storyfest at the Arts House and Singapore Heritagefest, and received the Teman Warisan award in 2021.
It runs 10.30am to 12pm on Sat 7 Nov 2026 and is one of the activities in the Geylang Serai Heritage Gallery Open House. Tickets are S$15, and you leave with recipes to cook yourself plus ways to put those preservation methods to work in your own kitchen now. Come for the food history, stay for the stories behind it.
