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!

Food Review | Yechun Xiao Jiang Nan Teahouse

Happen to come across this Chinese restaurant while in search for our dinner place at Marina Square. So we decided to give it a go since there was no queue at that time (around 4-5+ in the afternoon). That is quite an early dinner. After that crazy rain that had drenched both myself and my husband when we visited the Artbox on the start of their first day. It can be quite tiring to brave the rain and ended up with nothing but wet.

So to my readers, this is how I go about doing food review. And most of them, I paid for it unless otherwise stated. 



Xiao Long Bao


The skin was thin and not too doughy. Passed the basic expectation of Xiao Long Bao. Still need a little improvement. 


Siew Mai 


My husband thought it was the usual siew mai and when it was served, we didn't really bother much until the first bite. It was filled with glutinous rice within. When asked, they said this was China type of siew mai. Okay. That was very new to us. Taste was fair. 


Spring Rolls


Mediocre taste. But at least for me, I will always order a plate of spring rolls when having dim sum. That is like a must-have every time.


Pan-Fried Pork Buns


This is acceptable though the fillings can be a little generous. I love this dish since the first time I had in Hainan Island, China. 


Fried White Fish


Nice. Good to go with a bowl of rice. Crunchy on the outside and the seasoning was just right.


Yang Zhou Style Fried Noodles


This plate of noodles was good. At least a saving grace overall. Noodles was succulent.


White Fungus with Red Dates


Ordered a hot bowl as dessert. I prefer white fungus not overly cooked. At least a little crunchiness. And it had just one red date.  The taste, of course was fair. But kind of disappointing.

Worth or not? I personally think, no.
