Raffles Courtyard x PasirPanjangBoy

 ~Invited Session~

Raffles Courtyard x PasirPanjangBoy is inviting guests to discover a new culinary collaborative series with the rich heritage of Southeast Asian cuisine, featuring a curated selection of their signature Nyonya specialities.

I have personally dined at PasirPanjangBoy and I must say it is getting very difficult to book seats there anymore. So, for those of you who are not so lucky to manage to dine there itself, make your way to a much more accessible option at Raffles Hotel where you can also enjoy a few of my PasirPanjangBoy favorites at the comfort and serenity of the Courtyard at Raffles Hotel.

The soup is just oh-so-comforting!

It was coincidental that it rained heavily just before dinnertime and this prawn noodles was just heavenly. It had all the right umami flavors and just the right portion for a dish packed with fresh seafood flavors.

The star of the night, and always my star at PasirPanjangBoy

 

One could argue that there are many types of ngoh hiang in Singapore, but few can equal or rival this version by PasirPanjangBoy. Tinoq's secret five spice receipe is really the bomb but the secret sauce, quite literally, is in the chili. If you eat this without the chili, we are not friends.

Rendang, oh my love

 

If you leave the Courtyard without trying this, then you have done yourself a great disservice. This is perfect for dinner. Aromatic herbs and spices slow cooked with tender loving care, giving it robust flavors that just sends such lovely warmth to the soul and really lifted my spirits in that damp and wet evening. Perfect Perankan soul food.

Tinoq Russell Goh and Dylan Chan will also be mingling with guests every Tuesday and Wednesday evening. They are just lovely and wonderful people, spreading good vibes everywhere.

The collaboration dish with PasirPanjangBoy are offered alongside Raffles Courtyard’s own creations, complementing its menu of Southeast Asian small plates and authentic Singaporean delights.

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

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
