Yeah! Your writing actually re-introduced me to the New Naratif, and I just became a member.
I'm actually thinking that if the New Naratif has a poster you might want to ask to put that up at Elmendorf during your pop-up + advertising period. My journey was go to Elmendorf -> use the bathroom and see omg what there's gonna be kueh -> wow this kueh is amaaazing and honestly the best ondeh ondeh I've ever had (thank you!) -> your blog -> the New Naratif. I feel like the folks at Elmendorf would be down to advertise independent SEA journalism, and Singaporeans in Cambridge are a strong demographic for New Naratif supporters.
Your last popup was also advertised through the mailing list for MIT's Singapore student group (and when I got that email I figured I should bump my arrival time a little earlier; was a good call). And I'm sure you'll sell out regardless, but if you wanted to target more Singaporeans you might want to time the next popup for when Harvard and MIT are in session.
Hi! Sorry to reach out this way, I'm still working on a date with Elmendorf (they had a crazy holiday season so no time to plan). BUT! I wanted to mention that I'm doing another pop-up tomorrow and Sunday (Jan 8/9), at Backbar in Union Square, making char kway teow. =) Really old school, using charcoal fire for the wok. If you're part of the MIT SG community, please do let them know! And if you can come, I would love to say hi! Just let one of the bartenders know you're looking for me. Hope to see you, and stay warm till then!
I think someone from Elmendorf advertized to the list previously. And I think a moderator has to approve messages before they're sent to members, so there might be a lag.
I won't be there, but thanks for letting me know :)
Oh terrific, thank you for this story! PJ from New Naratif actually just told me that you reached out to them as well. :) I'll definitely put something up there next time - I do think they're a vital voice.
Glad you liked the kueh! Ondeh ondeh are actually super easy, it's just about getting top quality gula melaka. See you at the next one, I hope!
Subscribed just to know when you'll be at Elmendorf!
Thank you! Come for the announcements, stay for the writing, I hope! There will probably be another Elmendorf pop-up in late January or early Feb.

Hello! I couldn't find any information to point people to, but the MIT mailing list is public-facing if you'd like to do that! https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/mitsss

Thanks for this info! I just emailed them. Hopefully it gets through! And I just fixed a date with Elmendorf - Feb 6! CNY...
Ooo, yay! I will definitely be there :)
