masak-masak felt food toys from local online toy store, Heartfelt Makan.
Food toys are a dime a dozen, but few feature Asian food, let alone Singaporean culinary delights, including hawker food. Which is why local children's author Lianne Ong decided to start Heartfelt Makan with her mum, Janet, in 2017, to create pretend play food toys with an Asian twist. The mother-of-two also saw this as a way to preserve Singapore’s food heritage. Apt, after Singapore’s hawker culture has been added to the Unesco Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
