colonial food in 18th/19th century Asia

I am currently doing research into the area of english
food as eaten in their colonies, methods of
preparations, who prepares them and any discourses
surrounding the pre or post consumption of colonial
meals. If anyone has come across any studies or
primary materials  or done any research into this
area, please do key me in. Thanks

with regard to Daniel Smith's query,
I can't really point you to a study though you might
want to read the writings of such colonial luminaries
like Frank Swettenham, James and Charles Brooke. Also,
have you read "The Soul of Malaya" ? It gives you a
colonialist perspective. Such materials might give you
some insight into the history of Malaya and Singapore.
