Back After 27 Years: Homemade Mala Pig Blood Soup + BONUS recipe

Since the deadly Nipah virus outbreak in 1999 and the sales ban of a long  27-year , this beloved ingredient, Pig Blood Curd (Blood Tofu) has finally made its official return to our grocery shelves in June 2026 after being approved by Singapore Food Agency. The elderly group of Singapore will definitely feel nostalgic. The moment I spotted it at the supermarket (after many attempts), memories came rushing back. From the first time I had in Hong Kong decade ago and subsequently in Taiwan too.  And immediately bought 4 packs in a row at Giant Supermarket to share with my folks. Now I knew exactly what I had to make for dinner: a fiery, deeply satisfying bowl of Mala Pig Blood Curd Soup . The best part about making this at home? You can customize it completely. Here is how we whipped up this comforting, nostalgic meal in our kitchen. CP Foods has made it possible The Ingredients: Note: The beauty of a homemade mala soup is flexibility! You can throw in absolutely anything you lov...

Alright. Heavy investment I guess. But I  photography. 

Guess that's part of my plan in future. Setting up a small studio of mine for photoshoots.

But my guy said that I should start from home first. 

Right! He said he will not rent out the other room (of our new flat) to others and let me do my stuff.

Hey one more room is his entertainment room. Damn it! I think I shall share that room with him.

Half for me and half for him.

And we can still carry on with renting a room for extra income.

Why I photography? I don't know. Maybe influence by my dad previously who always pinpoint on how I take photos.

What I  to shoot on? Food, product and holiday peektures. Even if the food is awful, so long the shots are taken perfectly. Even if it is a lousy trip, so long it captures the best moment at the right place, at the right time. Even if I don't really use or think that product is good, capturing it in a way which will capture the heart of others.

My Instagram is flooded with food peeks! My Canon digicam captures all holiday, food and product peeks.

I found what I need for a start. For product shoots. Gonna make a trip down to Peninsula Plaza and see for myself.

So excited.

And then is a good camera. Deciding between Canon and Nikon. Any suggestions?

The list goes on. Never ending. But the dream will come through.

Do look for me in near future (maybe from 2014 onwards) for your product shoots. I will charge a reasonable price for a newbie me in this line. Remember my email: iamstellachen@ymail.com

Will set up another blog just as a gallery. Stay tune. I mean real soon. 

Will continue to learn and practice to be perfect one day.
