1. One Pot Beef Stew with Daikon

Christmas is right around the corner, perfect timing for this One Pot Beef Stew recipe to shine. The tender, juicy and cooked-to-perfection beef chunks goes well with any side of choice — be it butter rice, chickpeas, quinoa, greens, or pasta. Here, we use stir-fried beef chucks, but feel free to up the ante with diced sirloin or wagyu. 

 

We know beef shopping can be intimidating, but not with online grocers like The Meat Club or gourmet butcher store, Ryan’s Grocery. Super beginner-friendly, you can enjoy Citi Credit Card promos of up to 10% off your order for quality cuts of meat straight from trusted suppliers.

2. Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens

Spice up your dinner table with this Sichuan Fish recipe. With the green chillies, ginger and Sichuan peppercorns, this one-pan dish really packs a punch! We use the entirety of the fish, from the fresh, sweet slices to the head and bones for the broth. 

 

For a dry variation, try our homemade Sambal BBQ Fish or Stingray recipe — different sauce, but same juicy mouthful and intense flavour for an unforgettable dinner. 

 

Not sure where to get the freshest fish (or lazy to beat the early morning wet market crowd)? 

An easy fix is ordering online from The Seafood Market Place by Song Fish. You can get our

recommended fish choice of sea bass, grouper or snapper, plus an additional 5% off all

regular-priced items with a Citi Credit Card.

4. Herbal Pork Ribs Soup (Bak Kut Teh)

On a cold day, there’s nothing better than a shiok Herbal Pork Ribs Soup. Our version uses herbs such as Yu Zhu (Solomon’s Seal), Chuan Xiong (Lovage Rhizome) and Dang Gui (Angelica Root) for more nutrition and flavour above the classic peppery taste. A special soup for a special occasion! We also use pork maw and ??prime rib for that fall-off-the-bone goodness.

 

The quality of pork can make or break this soup, so go for sources that specialise in fresh and quality cuts. With over 50 years in the local business, Quan Shui Wet Market is a good place to start looking. What’s more, with any Citi Credit Card, you can get up to $10 off your online purchase.
