Wonton Noodles is made with fresh egg noodle tossed in mixed dark soy sauce that is usually a speciality of that particular recipe. The dry versions are topped with the Chinese Barbequed Pork or Char Siu. In Singapore, there is usually a small serving of soup with a few wonton if they are not already served in the noodles. The common vegetables that goes well with this noodle is the Choy Sum or Chinese mustard green. One condiment that you should add is the pickled green chilies. Back to the special sauce, normally there is oyster sauce, dark sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil and fried garlic oil. There is another version, that is the wet version, which is soupy. So everything floats in a big bowl of broth and if you ask me, I think the wet version is less delicious.
Skewered seasoned grilled meat, be it chicken, mutton, beef or pork. In Singapore, this is mostly a Malay food, so it is pretty rare to find pork satay. Satay is a national dish of Indonesia, and since we are neighbours, you can easily find delicious satay stalls in Singapore too. There are other variations of satay, for example the Japanese Yakitori, the Turkish Shish kebab, the Caucasian Shashlik, the South African Sosatie and the Chinese Chuan’r. The dipping sauce is a spicy peanut gravy next to slivers of onions, rice cakes (called ketupat) and cucumbers. The Indonesian uses a soy-based dip. The marinate of satay is the spice Turmeric which is why it is yellowish in colour.

Braising is basically browning the main ingredient in fat by searing. Then simmered in liquid on a low heat. Make sure the crock pot is covered. You can use pressure cooker or a famously known Dutch oven. Some range of enameled pans or pots for stove or oven works well too. This is a recipe for beef brisket
It is quite difficult to find reindeer video recipe on youtube that is in English.

This is a Teochew soup. Comfort food. Rather one of my favourite soup made with pork ribs. Nowadays, there are premade spices sachets to just drop into a pot of water, add the washed ribs and an entire bulb of garlic, unpeeled. Season to taste at the end of the 1 hour simmering. The taste of the ribs is great when dipped into some dark soya sauce and chili padi. To be really honest, this soup goes just enough and well with Jasmine white rice. Nothing else.
There isn't really a secret recipe. I agree with this because this is a very down-to-earth good quality soup made with fresh Pork ribs, garlic peppercorns and patience.

The Scottish celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay, challenged 328 Katong Laksa in Singapore for this dish. The secret lies in the Rempah or mixed spices. Rempah is a nonya ingredient made from fresh herbs and dried spices, mainly from dried chillies, fresh chillies, galangal, lemon grass and tumeric. Ginger, garlic, shrimp paste (or belachan), coriander seeds, dried shrimps, candle nuts, bean paste and other herbs. In the Laksa, there are dried prawns, coconut milk, chicken stock, prawns, clams, thick rice stick noodles, bean sprouts, tofu puffs, hard-boiled eggs, fresh daun keson or Vietnamese mint (aka laksa leaves). Preparation tool is the mortar to pound the dried prawns til crumbly.

Healthy-fat gourmet appetizer or starters if chosen well, can infact help you eat less later and lose weight. The fresh whole-grain bread and olive oil before a meal can help to keep your blood sugar levels from spiking. Such ways also makes it easier for your body to absorb fat-soluble nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, K, lutein and lycopene. Lutein is a chemical compound which you can find in green leafy vegetables usch as kale, spinach or yellow carrots. Lycopene on the other hand is a bright red carotene pigment which you can find in tomatoes, red carrots or watermelons. Today, we are featuring Canapes with salmon caviar, lemon and parsley on plate. Parsley is a good source of antioxidants, folic acid, vitamin K, vitamin C and A and flavonoid.

Some people called it Virgin tomato or cherry tomato. It is commonly known as cocktail tomatoes too. These Campari tomato are sweet as it has a high sugar level, low acidity and very juicy. For preparing appetizer, normally I like to buy them TOV which means tomato-on-the-vine. For this appetizer, in combination with pesto and mozzarella cheese, it gives it a Mediterranean touch.
