Let’s be honest. Whose refrigerator and pantry are always well stocked? Chances are that you’ve mixed and matched whatever food is left to come up with a decent meal. Well, you’re not the only one! We have 5 weird food combinations here. The next time you’re looking for food to mix and match, do try these combinations out!
1. Kopi O and Orange Juice
Your Kopitiam uncle might cringe hard and judge you. But adding orange juice (or an orange wedge) into your coffee isn’t as bad as you think. The citrus can actually play down the coffee’s bitterness. Yet it doesn’t weigh your cuppa down like milk or cream. Besides, it gives a tiny hint of natural sweetness without having to add sugar.
2. Olive Oil and Ice Cream
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is not just for pasta. If you have some Vanilla ice cream at home, try drizzling some EVOO on it. You can even go ahead to add a dash of sea salt. Since the ingredients are really basic, our advice is to use really good quality EVOO and Vanilla ice cream. You’ll be surprised what a winning combination this is!
3. Chee Cheong Fun and Peanut Butter
What?? Doesn’t this even work? Trust us, if you’re up for something different, you HAVE to try Chee Cheong Fun with peanut butter. And trust us, it works perfectly fine. Just steam the rice rolls with a very generous portion of peanut butter, some Hoisin sauce, and add more flavour with some Thai chilli sauce. This combo works so well that you wish the foodcourt nearby serves this dish.
4. Avocado Prata
Avo what? Yes, it might sound like an odd idea but adding avocado into your Prata dough is surprisingly delicious and healthy. Avocado is rich in Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and it helps reduce cholesterol. But the best part of all, avocado works perfectly well as a substitute for ghee or butter, giving the prata a really nice texture. Check out the recipe here.
5. Indomie Goreng and Mayonnaise
Everyone loves the classic Indomie Goreng. If you want to elevate your favourite instant noodles to new heights, add a generous portion of Japanese mayonnaise. It gives the noodles a richer flavour and satisfies that food craving.
