Salted Egg Kisses @ Twentysevenbyrachel


DSC_3948

I never got enough of Rachel's lychee chiffon but the opportunity opened up for cookie slots and then I landed myself my first bag of cookies straight from her kitchen!

Almost half a kilo of salted egg yolk kisses and I was secretly wondering if this bag would end up all in my tummy or I'd have to share the love.

Piped so beautifully though they were slightly crushed from the tight packaging and crumbly texture.

Be a butter fan and get enslaved to these babies, or never hop on this bandwagon of no return. I am possibly a convert for crumbly butter cookies because suggee cookies are my nemesis and I usually prefer my cookies crunchy.

Salted egg and curry leaves are so beautifully woven into each cookie, the flavours are just so spot on - I would imagine this to be the dessert version of a salted egg dish and the best to date. Leave it on the tongue to dissolve into an addictive creamy mess. I lost count of the number of cookies I had over a single seating, probably enough to send me walking for kilometres.

Twas so good, we fought to finish the last crumb and then wished I bought another bag to stash.

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...

Ole Ole Kueh @ Parkway Parade

Image
Food kiosks always excite me and more so when they pedal peranakan kuehs. So this was the story behind Ole Ole Kueh - perfectly distracting when waiting for transport at Parkway Parade methinks. Having been won over by Milk Moon's Pulut Serunding, any chance at these deconstructed lempur udangs, I leap at it. This version was draped in coconut, chicken floss and shrimp and the glutinous rice balls were just oddly half as satisfying. Probably the savoury part was not nailed well. Kueh Cara is a dense pandan nonya treat, uncommon actually though it was probably made from the same mould as the kueh bahilu. Kueh kosui at Ole Ole's is as per their other kuehs, really dense. I prefer them lighter actually. Moving onto the savoury snacks, epok epok is a must every time I spy it - just like curry puffs. These would have tasted better piping hot with their thin pastry skins and barely there stuffing. Do you spot more pastry than filling? Lemper Udang is definitely a better bet for...
