Each year, I approach Chinese New Year with some apprehension. One reason? Rocketing prices of CNY goodies. Another reason? The lack of variety in goodies available.

There are after all only so many ways to present a pineapple tart, yes? I declared I was not going to stuff myself silly and queue myself nuts at CNY fairs jostling with a ton of people and paying an arm and leg just for those prized tins of snacks.

I mean why do we have to pay double or triple the usual prices when the snack remains the same?

So this year, I am going for unconventional CNY snacks. Garrett Popcorn first comes to mind because who doesn’t like having yummy finger-sized snacks? Perfect when having friends over for a cosy get together, and the kids (and the adults of course) during the annual family soiree will love you for it.

I have been a fan of these handcrafted kettle cooked gourmet Popcorn and never looked back. Plus, they are made fresh on the spot too! I kid you not when I prowl town indulging in that spot of retail therapy and a bag of Garrett’s Popcorn on the other. 

Personally, I love all of their flavours –

Cheesecorn

Freshly melted, sharp cheddar cheese is the key ingredient in this savoury delight. Each time, I end up with daffodil yellow stained cheesy fingers and that lingering deliciosity – mamma mia!  

Don’t these fluffy kernels remind you of gold nuggets? A prosperous snack, indeed!

On days I feel like having savoury and sweet this is my best choice – a combination of cheesecorn and caramelcrisp. It is like treasure hunting, you never know what you will get next!

Macadamia CaramelCrisp

Laced with brown sugar, a crème brulee crunch and chockfuls of macadamias, this specialty flavor is for the ultimate sweet tooth!

I can never stop at one, it’s always one kernel after another.

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

The ingredients were really generous too!   Steamed Cod Fillet with Garlic and Beancurd Skin Everything with garlic tastes good - especially so amidst the COVID-19 situation. Garlic like tumeric is one o

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
