An evocative chronicle of a woman’ s homecoming, searching for family history
and identity through the changing landscapes of modern Singapore and Malaysia.
On the brink of her thirties, Amanda Oon moved with her ang moh husband from London to Singapore— the country of her mother’ s childhood; neighbour to the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur, the white cliffs and colonial shophouse streets of Ipoh, and its surrounding areas where her father grew up. As they carve a new
life in an unfamiliar country, she tracks down her family’ s history and shares their stories of growing up in Singapore and Malaysia. The food, culture, and people that shape the identities of these two countries paint a vivid and nuanced portrait of their life and culture.
This is a story of family, race, identity, and self-discovery.
But, above all, it is a cultural portrait of Singapore and Malaysia’ s rich heritage and history.
