Pandan Chiffon @ Dulcet and Studio

DSC_2238 

I've had as many scoop cakes as cream puffs at Tampopo Deli and when they started reselling their cakes at Dulcet and Studio, it was a happy problem - more outlets for these delicious bakes. For the longest time I considered getting their miniature pandan chiffon and perhaps Bengawan Solo has done an absolutely awesome job in branding themselves as the chiffon cake place, I resisted for awhile for fear of disappointment.

$6.50 worth of moist fluffy happiness. This lacked the spongeyness of a Bengawan Solo pandan chiffon but this was twice as fragrant and as moist! YUM. Looks like we found an alternative, and a cheaper one too!

Do you have a favourite pandan chiffon cake seller other than Bengawan Solo too?

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...

Garlic like tumeric is one o...

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...
