âWestern fairytales get a fun Singaporean spin in these illustrated retellings.â
âAkshita Nanda, The Sunday Times -
KF Seetoh began his professional career as a photojournalist in the 1980s. In the mid-1990s, he created Imaginasian, the worldâs first Asian stock photo library. The food guide, Makansutra, written in 1997, captured the essence of local street food culture and currently has editions in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Beijing. Makansutra is also now involved in themed-concept food courts (Philippines, Singapore), web and mobile content apps, TV food shows, events and consultancy. In 2008, Singapore Tourism Board honoured Mr. Seetoh with a Special Recognition Award for being âa true Singapore Food Ambassadorâ. CNN calls him the âGuru of Grubâ and The New York Times cites him as âthe food guide mavenâ.
