Want a piece of history in 50 year's time?
Get hold of Makansutra 2000!

Makansutra is in the Millennium Time Capsule!!!

Makansutra has become a piece in history. Handpicked from hundreds of shortlisted potential artefacts, Makansutra's made it to the 50 final items to be placed inside the Millennium Time Capsule.

According to Miss Katherine Hor, the assistant curator at the Singapore History Museum, these 50 items are representative of life in present-day Singapore. Though some local recipe books were considered, the panel of decision makers which include media representatives and board members decided on Makansutra because they felt that Makansutra celebrates the food culture of Singapore as hawker food is close to the hearts of Singaporeans. And Miss Hor said that it was a journalist on the panel who suggested Makansutra-- no kelong (bribery) on our part--we were not one of the 92 Singaporeans who sent in the 229 suggestions on what to put in the Capsule!
