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...

Food Review | Osaka Ohsho

The basement of Raffles City is yet another food paradise and no doubt, you can find not just Vietnamese food, there are also Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western food and many more. Hard to choose at times but I do wish to try everyone of them one day. Still, I watching my calories. Weight-watching. 

My first visit to Osaka Ohsho was with my girlfriends and I was so in love with their salted egg menu. Guess what? I forgot to take a shot. When I came back here again with my husband, couldn't find it in their menu. Maybe it was for a limited time only. I actually wanted my husband to try. So again, browsing through the menu again and found Fuwatoro Tenshin Han that was so eye-catching because of the round, yellow appearance.

Fuwatoro Tenshin Han $12.90

Definitely better than omu rice because the omelette was creamy and velvety from the inside. Plus it was placed in the bowl with a very savoury gravy that I made me first thought of shark fin. The mixture of gravy, omelette and rice was a good combination and taste good. But the portion was a little huge for one person and as you finished half, you felt full already. Especially when you still eyeing on the gyoza. That came with the set and also a tasty and light bowl of egg-dropped soup, 




Chicken Teriyaki Tenshin Han $15.90

This was the same as above but with a portion of chicken teriyaki. Try dipping the chicken into the gravy. Nice. The set added another level of fullness because of the chicken teriyaki. What we do with the gyoza was to takeaway. Reduce food wastage and this became our supper. Or even breakfast.


They have others on the menu and you can find them here. From what I see, their set menus come with a plate of  3 or 6 gyoza because that is their Signature dish.

Suan La Tang Gyoza Set $15.90


Spicy Sze Chuan Vegetable Gyokai Ramen $12.90


Gyoza is my all-time favourite and if there is any chance, I can just have them alone for a meal. The ones here at Osaka Ohsho was good. Neither oily nor charred but juicy from the fillings inside. 


After 2 visits here, I do think of coming back again for their gyoza and also for my husband to try their Saba set which he likes so much. You can probably come and taste it to believe. At least this is one good Japanese restaurant that I favour.
