‘Use My Kitchen, Tell Your Story’ Singaporean Dinner

Edible Magazine cordially invites you to celebrate National Day of Singapore with a Singaporean Dinner prepared by Chef Emily Lim, a part of our ‘Use My Kitchen, Tell Your Story’ dinner series, showcasing chefs who have immigrated to the United States who will tell their stories through a series of dishes, using food as a tool to find common ground and foster understanding. The kitchen space and venues are so kindly donated by area restaurants, wineries and individuals who open up their doors and encourage these stories to be told. Presented in partnership with Travel Paso, all of this season’s dinners will take place in Paso Robles wine country.

San Francisco-based Chef Emily Lim is Singapore-born and bred. Upon falling in love with California in 2014 she moved to San Francisco directly from her home country to build her professional experience in both fine dining and casual dining establishments. With her undying love for the hustle, a long term commitment to heritage foods and food culture, and a deep desire to build cultural bridges, she grasped the opportunity to create something that was missing in her area – authentic Singaporean hawker foods. She now runs Dabao Singapore, providing Singaporean feasts for the bay area locals.

For one night only Chef will create a feast for the Edible San Luis Obispo community. The evening will begin with hawker stand fare reminiscent of long admired Asian night markets, and then continue with a traditional family style sit down dinner.
