The Gimbap Roll-volution - Its History & Nutrition

AY2023/24 Sem 2
What's the difference between gimbap and popiah? And why should we never say gimbap is “Korean sushi”?

Roll up and join our gimbap Roll-volution, where you’ll discover the answer to these questions and more. Learn to make your own yummy gimbap in a hands-on workshop with a healthy twist!

We’ll also have free talks by Principal Librarian Mi-Kyeong, who will share about the origin and history of gimbap, and its role in Korean culture. Our friends from the Department of Food Science & Technology and Good Day Café will also be on hand to talk about what goes into making a healthy gimbap. Our team will wrap up the day by sharing where and how you can access NUS Libraries’ wide range of resources on food science and technology.

Can’t wait to give it a whirl? Sign up for our free talks, or our gimbap-making workshop at S$9.90 – or both! Workshop fees is inclusive of a drink worth up to $5! Payment details will be emailed to workshop participants, separately.
