Wabbidashery… aka, The Heritage Heaven Tour

@pechelman Thanks. most of it was the insta360 editor doing its work. I just input the directions on the other bits..
I wish I could know more about those cheese tarts! all I know is, every year I look forward to having them at my aunts place. something about my uncle's old Indonesian business partners giving it to him every year during Lunar New Year. I haven't been able to find anything close to it anywhere else.
my guess is baked cheddar cheese stuff. Salty, creamy, flaky and addictive..

thanks @louisbosco!
Those sound fantastic. Will add to the list of recipes to make. -
@louisbosco cool update, I enjoyed reading about the food. Your part of the world I know next to nothing about, so I learned today.
-
@Oaktavia interesting idea. perhaps I could share more about hawker culture when I get the chance..
-
@louisbosco that would be cool because I have no idea what that is my friend.
-
@Oaktavia basically, street food. South east Asia was built on street food culture..
-

back to food content. about the food in singapore....
Singapore was a coastal port city during British colonial era, part of the straits settlement in south east Asia. with that, it brought merchants and people from all over the globe, particularly southern china. it's main heritage is based on cantonese, teochew, Hakka and hokkien culture, all of which are regions in southern china. in addition to that, there's also peranakan (mixed chinese/ Malay) and eurasian cuisine..
gone are the days of hawkers and merchants selling food by the singapore river and makeshift stalls. in the modern era, they've all been relocated into what we call hawker centres, food courts or coffee shops. there are plenty of stalls selling the same food, both equally as good. but people here treat this like their religion and will swear by one over the other.
this ones called prawn noodles. the soup is cooked with pork bone and prawn shells over hours. noodles is then mixed with lard, shallots, chilli sauce and tomato sauce. topped with sliced pork and prawns. for me, no veggies or beansprouts.
now the most discussed dish. chicken rice. highly fought over topic between Malaysia and singapore over who invented the dish.
chicken is poached and cooled once cooked to retain the gelatine of the fat so that it's glistening. rice is then cooked with the stock from the chicken to give it its fragrant flavour. to be eaten with chilli sauce and this simple sauce can make or break the dish..
finally a nice night ride over the skyline of the marina bay sands and the singapore flyer..
