If there is one ultimate comfort food that instantly feels like home, it has to be a steaming plate of fried rice. But if you ask three different people how they cook it, you’ll probably get three completely different answers! In our household, fried rice isn't just a quick way to clear out the fridge, it's a trip down memory lane. Recently, my husband took over the wok to recreate two nostalgic fried rice recipes he grew up eating as a youngster, alongside our go-to classic version. Watching him cook reminded me that the best meals don’t require fancy ingredients; they just require a few time-tested techniques. Whether you're craving a rich, glossy Kicap Manis version or a classic shrimp stir-fry, here are the absolute must-do steps and golden rules from our kitchen to yours to ensure your fried rice turns out perfectly separate, fluffy, and packed with flavor every single time! 3 Different Recipes, 3 Different Colours of Fried Rice Master Tip #1: The Fried Rice Foundation...
Finally got to try out this place after a year of wait. We can't catch up with changes at times but at least we tried. One shot met my ladies for dinner here. Not far from Lavendar MRT, you need to navigate your way here. Realized after dinner, there was another shop selling Taiwanese food called Eat 3 Bowls just few units away from Feima. Actually this block 462 itself have a few interesting cafes. Next round I shall go try.
Who miss Taiwanese night markets? This sight was missed for the past 2 years plus. Been to Raohe Night Market before and it was so crowded with people and food (of course all their night markets are crowded, not sure about now). The 胡椒饼 is a must try there and I did saw long queue back then I was there.
They played old songs from Jay Chou, Vivian Hsu and many more (in the loop) and all these Taiwanese vibes running in this shop. Totally love it!
A sauce bar for you to DIY your own sauce or dip to go with your food. I'm not a sauce or dip person as I believe in having on its own. Unless really tasteless then I will go for some but not a lot.
This self-served fridge full of Taiwan beverages. My favourite 麦香红茶 that I would drink in Taiwan, Sarsaparilla that tasted like Sarsi or Rootbeer and Apple Sidra for sweet tooth humans. You have to pay by the way. Drink as much as you like but pay accordingly.
This 米血糕 a must try! Although it was cooked in the soup but still maintained its good texture and flavour, somewhere near to glutinous rice texture but firmer yet a little chewy. Have you tried it at Taiwan night markets? They are sold in sticks (at least whenever I saw it) and I actually resisted having it because wild thoughts of the taste running through my mind because it was black in colour.
Enjoy the short video on our food and its surrounding. You might meet 肥妈本人也说不定. I think is her because the portrait really looks 99% similar. Only 2 persons manning the shop and she is one of them. Their entrance to the shop was vending machine concept. You can see Taiwan snacks and beverages in it. I saw my favourite 王子面.
At their cashier counter, spotted Chia Te pineapple and cranberry tarts. Not sure if it was for show or they really got sell them. I'm curious about cranberry tarts as it was new to me at least. Never mind. Time will come when I can fly to Taiwan for holiday again. Bring me all the Taiwan Vibes again!
Thanks to my ladies' treat for me this year!
