ieat Crab Fest: The Aftermath

Photos by ieat, ijeff and holybro Big thanks to everyone for making the ieat Crab Fest a big success! We had 100% attendence and that is not too bad for 130 pax! Thanks guys it makes it much easier for us to plan for future makan sessions! Very big thanks to holydrummer and holybro for organizing the makan session! Excellent job guys! Thanks also to Amy and Jason who were very generous with the Crab Menu. I think no one is complaining that they did not get their $50 worth of Crabs! From the general feedback of the night, it seems that most people thought that the Alaskan King Crabs were the best crab and the golden sauce was the best sauce especially when eaten with the fried Man Tou.

Xi Le Teng Dessert Stall: 70 year old lady, 70 cents dessert

Red Bean Soup – 70 cents Red Bean Soup always reminds me of my kindergarten days at the PAP. It’s nostalgic in a sort of a bad way ‘cos I always remember it is the worst red bean soup in the world. Rather than having whole beans or even half beans, it’s just the shell of the red beans in a big bowl of rather translucent sweet water that has a tinge of red in it.

Tong Siew: Oyster Omelette got two types

Oyster Omelette (Orh Nerng) $4 You know there are two types of Oyster Omelettes right? There is Orh Jian or Orh Luak which is the type where a sticky starch is added to the eggs to make it sticky and crispy, and there is Orh Nerng which is omelette without the starch. The beauty of the Orh Luak is the fact that the starch adds a sticky and crisp contrast to the oyster.

Sweet and Sour Potatoes with Mango

One of the most interesting and challenging part of cooking is experimenting with flavors and spices, just like the blend of flavors in this Vietnamese-style recipe for Sweet and Sour Potatoes with Mangoes! It was an effort to replicate what we enjoyed at our local Tofu House restaurant. The blend of spices with soy sauce, thai chillies, red pepper, semi-ripe mango and rice vinegar resulted into a winning sauce base for the baby potatoes to be simmered in.

Shanghai Soup Dumplings / Xiao Long Bao (小笼包)

Shanghai Soup Dumplings / Xiao Long Bao (小笼包) During my trip to Shanghai 2 weeks ago, I checked out several street food vendors but was surprised at how difficult it was to find a Soup Dumplings / Xiao Long Bao (小笼包) vendor. While there are chains such as Ding Tai Fung all over Shanghai (and also now in Los Angeles), I really wanted to check out the local, more humble, fresh out-of-a-street-cart version

Hix Soho, 66-70 Brewer St (29th Oct 2009)

Kate: We were invited to Hix Soho recently for a friend’s 30th birthday. I’d wanted to try the Hix Oyster and Chop House in Smithfield for some time but the write ups on the new Soho venture have been really good (I think A.A Gill even gave it 4 or 5 stars) so I was sure it would live up to the original restaurant’s reputation.  10 of us had a private room and we had pre-ordered a set menu or ‘feast’ as Mark Hix likes to call it, which is great for big groups as it takes the headache out of ordering.
