WHAT TIME IS IT? IT’S LUNCH TIME!

The Slow Press, an independent food magazine from Singapore, will be coming to Magenta House on 9 March! Together, we’ll be hosting a Sunday lunch-table gathering inspired by The Slow Press Vol. 6: Best Before

Mariam Ella Arcilla from Magenta House and Christy Chua from The Slow Press will be preparing dishes and refreshments inspired by the stories in the magazine, together with a sharing and open discussion with guests! From preserving familial relationships with salt, hearing about frustratingly slow changes in food quality for migrant workers, secret rice saving societies, and more – let's gather in conversation. 

Fee includes pescatarian and vegetarian meal, side dish, dessert and refreshments.
Menu will be circulated closer to the day for seasonality purposes and dietary preferences.

The Slow Press publications will be available to buy on the day.
