Cold Storage Specialty

Cold Storage sells fairly fresh sushi and sashimi sets at their Japanese counters, which are great for snacking. And healthy too! This was their Salmon Sushi and Maki Set ($5.80), convenient, fresh and really value-for-money.

Satay Celup at Capitol & Ban Lee Siang, Malacca

Image
Satay Celup is also another dish that's almost exclusive to Malacca (the other one being chicken rice balls). It's like steamboat, but with satay gravy instead of some flavoured broth to cook a variety of skewered meats, starches, vegetables and seafood. Also, a trademark of satay celup is the unique pot of bubbling satay gravy is sunken into a hole in the centre of the table for easy access. Capitol Satay and Ban Lee Siang are the 2 most famous (and arguably the best) satay celup joints in Malacca, each with its pros and cons. Having eaten at both establishments, we both prefer Capitol Satay. Capitol Satay ostensibly replaces the satay steamboat pot with a fresh one for every new table of diners (Disclaimer: I wouldn't know if they just changed the pot and reused the satay sauce at the back of the restaurant) but this also means you've got to be prepared to wait for at least 45 minutes for a table (for off-peak hours, and it's a more than an hour ...

Samgyetang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup)

Image
It may surprise you to know that Samgyetang, the ubiquitous Korean chicken ginseng soup, is a dish eaten in the height of summer. You'd think it was a dish usually tucked in during winter, as a comforting way to warm up the soul, right? But, (as schooled by the Korean halfling Husband), the Koreans do it differently, and just like how you drink warm water to counter the heat of chilli, the Koreans combat the Summer heat with "heaty" foods like Korean ginseng (Korean red ginseng is "heaty" whereas American ginseng is "cooling") and hot soup to help cool you down by sweating you out. It's a topsy turvy world, this traditional Chinese thing, but it works!  So, while on a Korean homecooking streak, I thought I'd attempt the classic Korean dish. This is possibly the most idiot-proof Korean dish to whip up. You just need one of those package samgyetang herbs (available at almost any Korean mart), some glutinous rice (or not if you're avoiding c...

Saint Pierre

Image
Saint Pierre is going down as one of the best eats of 2015. The venerable French restaurant is fronted by Emmanuel Stroobant, a prolific chef whose shocking-platinium locks and muscular frame are perhaps toasted to as much as his food. I mean, the guy looks like Popeye, just blonder. Saint Pierre 's food is classic, exquisitely crafted and beautifully dished up. We had the Classic Menu ($128), relished over a languid 3 hour dinner that was mind-blowingly flawless, and absolutely smashing. I loved the genuine honesty about Saint Pierre 's food, and I think, their philosophy of utilizing not more than 5 flavours is integral to its uncluttered, straightforward appeal, and maintaining the integrity of the produce. Compared to its former CBD-fringed locale, this Sentosa reincarnation of Saint Pierre has a more relaxed, mellow ambience. Less austere and more accessible (in terms of price points), I feel. (Note there's still a smart casual dress code for dinners) Some say i...
