Mui Choy Kau Yoke- 梅菜扣肉
A true Hakka gem that has withstood the test of time. One can never get sick of. The classic combination of savoury Mui Choy braised with fatty pork belly slices.
The only tedious process is washing grit off the mui choy. Once you’ve done that, the rest of the steps are pretty simple! During the braising process the fragrance of the pork fats combine with the unique fragrance of mui choy that made us salivate.
Pig Stomach Soup – 猪肚汤
Those who like clear peppery bah kut teh will definitely love this delicious soup.
The pig stomach is boiled with pork ribs to the right level of tenderness. The ribs add sweetness to the soup also with the whole garlic bulbs.
Goreng Pisang – 炸香蕉
A classic Malay snack made with very basic ingredients. While it looks simple enough, it took us some tries to get the texture right.
Assam Fish Head – 阿叁鱼头
This assam fish head is an Indian curry with Chinese influence that is popular both in Singapore and Malaysia. The curry uses Indian spices but made lighter and sourish with the addition of tamarind paste and pineapple. Fresh herbs like laksa leaves and torch ginger flower heightens the ‘assam’ flavour. The curry is light, spicy sour that goes well with a hot bowl of steaming rice. A little tip, you can make extra portion of the sambal and freeze. It keeps well in the freezer for 3 months. This reduces the prepping time for the next Assam Fish Head meal.

Mango Pomelo Sago – 杨枝甘露

The addition of sago and evaporated milk gives it a really smooth and creamy texture.
Salted Mustard Greens and Duck Soup – 咸菜鸭汤

Singapore BBQ Chicken Wings with Chilli Dip – 新加坡烤鸡翅
We replicate this crazily popular hawker dish using an oven at home! The secret to achieve the sticky sweet finish on the wings is to baste the wings and cover it with foil for 10 minutes in final stage of grilling. These sweet-savoury Chinese-style sticky BBQ wings goes so well with our calamansi chilli dip. Seriously, […]
Homemade Fruit Popsicles
Ever bought too many fruits that you and your family struggle to finish? Have you had fruits that are overly ripe or starting to turn brown? Here’s an interesting idea to make homemade fruit popsicles out of these goodies. Sliced fruits are not only healthy and good for you, but also perfect for making sweet treats for the family. We used coconut water for these popsicles, though you can also add honey to taste if you want it to be a little sweeter! Kids will especially love such treats on sunny afternoons over the weekend!
Marmite Pork Ribs – 妈蜜排骨
Did you know that the marketing slogan for Marmite is ‘Love it or Hate it’? We love this uniquely British spread so much that we use it for our savoury seafood, poultry and meat dishes.
