Not Your Average Sweet Treats – The M Plot’s Macarons Come In Flavours Like Salted Egg X Curry

What’s there not to love about macarons?

You might remember the snaking queue at Ladurée when they first opened in Singapore. Suddenly, almost every bakery stocked macarons. The two light and crisp cookie shells sandwiching jam or buttercream filling – is the ultimate indulgence for dessert lovers.

We recently came across The M Plot which offers macarons that are handcrafted with a unique flavour selection, ranging from Classic Dark Chocolate to their signature – Salted Egg Yolk x Curry, which was inspired by the Singaporean all-time favourite dish “salted egg yolk prawn”.

For Your Sweet Tooth

Prior to starting his business, Ryan Yong, co-founder of The M Plot was a former Senior Quantity Surveyor in the construction industry.

Despite his initial lack of knowledge in the F&B industry, he spent years learning how to perfect the texture and flavour of his macarons. “I did not go to culinary school, it was self-taught. I had done a lot of research on how to make macarons,” he added.

4 years ago while on a long break from his former job, he took a trip to Paris to visit his sister and immediately fell in love with French desserts. He was intrigued by the flavours, textures and how each dessert was eye-catching and delicious. Ever since that trip, Ryan decided to put all of his time into making macarons.

One of their iconic signature flavours would definitely be the Salted Egg Yolk x Curry macaron. While most Singaporeans would be more familiar with the sweet macarons, we were pleasantly surprised when we first tried the Salted Egg Yolk x Curry flavour.

“The Salted Egg Yolk x Curry was inspired by a local all-time favourite dish, “salted egg yolk prawn”, it took us 3 months in order to achieve the right ratio and flavour layering!” he exclaimed.

With just one bite, you will be delighted with a mouthful of salty creamy egg yolk and curry spice flavours. It’s truly a rollercoaster ride for your tastebuds.

One of their best selling flavours would be the Lychee x White Chocolate. So if you’re not as adventurous and looking for something on the sweeter side then this is the perfect choice for you.

Ryan also mentioned that his personal favourite flavour would be the Ginger x Chocolate. The chocolate ganache is infused with blended ginger and a slice of candied ginger in the middle of the macaron which elevates the overall taste of the dessert.

Their macarons are also 100% handmade and natural – they use only natural extracts like fruit purée to get the colour and flavouring, so they can only produce limited quantities each day.

Since their first debut at Artbox 2017, they see more returning customers and are starting to take on more events. They have taken on events such as Winter Wonderland at Gardens By The Bay and a pop-up at Orchard Central back in August.

The M Plot does their macarons right. They’ve got everything from texture to the flavour nailed down and not only are they Instagram aesthetic worthy, they taste pretty damn good too.

They cater to events, parties or corporate so if you want to swap out that birthday cake for something unique, they’ve got you covered.

Popeyes Goes Local With Their Limited Edition Fried Mantou Sliders With Chilli Soft Shell Crab

In another attempt to capitalise on Singapore’s upcoming birthday, another fast food chain has jumped on bandwagon.

Introducing Popeyes‘ new Chic & Crab Mantou!

Fried Mantou Sliders With Chilli…Crab?

Available from now till 3 September 2018, the Chic & Crab Mantou will be available at all Popeyes outlets islandwide.

For just $9.90 for a set meal, you’ll get 2 fried mantou sliders with crisp, battered soft shell crab in one, and Popeyes’ signature fried chicken in the other, a side, and a regular drink.

Both mantou sliders are topped with Popeyes’ special chilli sauce for a spicy kick.

However it doesn’t seem to be chilli crab sauce, so we’re skeptical. Though to be fair, the fried mantou is a nice touch.

Props to Popeyes for coming up with a locally-inspired menu item that’s relatively safe. Actual chilli crab sauce would be good though.

Or maybe chicken tenders with chilli crab dipping sauce? Just a thought.

Will you be giving the Chic & Crab Mantou a try?

Taiwan F&B Chain ‘Ten Ren Tea’ Brings Their Popular Bubble Tea To Singapore

If you’re as done as we are regarding Durian and Nasi Lemak-flavoured stuff, it’s about time we had something more….refreshing.

And this news could not have come at a better time.

Ten Ren Tea will be opening their very first Singapore outlet this Saturday, 28 July 2018, at Chinatown Point!

Leading Taiwanese Bubble Tea Brand

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Ten Ren Tea was established in 1953 and is THE leading tea retailer in Taiwan.

That’s not all, they have over 2000 outlets in Australia, Japan, Canada, Malaysia, and North America.

If you don’t believe me, they’ve pasted their credentials all over the boards in Chinatown Point.

https://www.facebook.com/358984241283046/photos/a.371147290066741.1073741828.358984241283046/405030303345106/?type=3&theater

In China, they’re also known as Ten Fu, a subsidiary of Ten Ren Tea.

The Chinatown Point outlet will have a seating area that can accommodate up to 50 people.

While the menu isn’t revealed at the moment, the global outlets of Ten Ren Tea have been known to serve classic Taiwanese food such as beef noodles, pork cutlet rice, and even desserts like waffles and toasts.

Some of you might be skeptical as to Ten Ren Tea’s decision to serve food too, after all isn’t this a brand for TEA? Don’t worry, their food doesn’t come at the expense of the quality of their tea.

https://www.facebook.com/358984241283046/photos/a.371147290066741.1073741828.358984241283046/385696245278512/?type=3&theater

I personally, don’t doubt the standard of their tea. After all, my grandmother only buys her tea from Ten Fu Tea in China.

Ten Ren Tea will be having a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” promotion on their first 2 opening days and the first 150 customers will receive a goody bag with products worth over $50.

https://www.facebook.com/358984241283046/photos/a.371147290066741.1073741828.358984241283046/416213205560149/?type=3&theater

Don’t miss out on this chance to get their signature Oolong Tea for you and your friend!

For all you KOI purists out there, Ten Ren Tea is legit and you ought to give it a try.

Burger King’s Signature Pie Now Comes In New ‘Teh Tarik’ Flavour At Just $1

As you’ve already noticed, many fast food chains and restaurants are coming up with a locally-inspired menu because National Day is just 2 weeks away.

With a sudden surge in Nasi Lemak and Durian menus across the island, we gladly welcome ANYTHING ELSE that isn’t any of the abovementioned flavours.

For National Day, good guy Burger King brought back their popular Rendang Tendergrill and Hainanese Tendergrill.

https://www.facebook.com/BurgerKingSG/photos/a.403938841773.193415.398894966773/10156485167376774/?type=3&theater

While there wasn’t much fanfare, it certainly kept their loyal subjects content.

But Wait, There’s More!

If you thought that was all that Burger King was offering for the nation’s birthday, think again.

They also unveiled some delicious-looking snacks and add-ons to go with your Tendergrill burgers.

Here at DiscoverSG, we LOVE our Teh, if you couldn’t already tell. So while this little menu item was missed by most people, it didn’t miss our Teh-spotting eyes.

Sneaky sneaky. But we see you, Teh Tarik Pie.

If you love your Teh, then you should give this a shot. For just $1, it’s available at all Burger King outlets islandwide.

However, you can’t seem to have it delivered at the moment, so maybe just order and have it in Burger King instead.

At the moment, there’s no date given as to when the Teh Tarik Pie will be discontinued. So go get it while stocks last!

This Young S’porean Sells Traditional Nonya Kueh On Instagram Using His Ah Mah’s Recipes

Making Nonya Kueh is not a typical career path most Singaporean men would take fresh out of National Service.

Most of us would dream of being teachers, doctors, engineers but this 23 year old decided to take on a whole new challenge and sell Nonya Kueh using his Ah Mah’s recipes.

Meet Keith Su, a 23 year old whose love for kueh spurred him to take his fondness for pastries a step further – by making them from his kitchen and selling them on Instagram (@ahmahzingsg).

Exploring Traditional Food With Ah Mah

Operating out of his kitchen in his family flat in Ang Mo Kio, Keith started taking in orders in April 2018, selling nonya treats like Kueh Salat and Kueh Bingka Ubi via Ahmahzing‘s Instagram Account.

The name is a play on  the words ‘ah mah’ (meaning grandma, in hokkien) and ‘amazing’.

“I wanted a name that reflects the concept of heritage and tradition,” he shares. Which led him to to think about his grandparents and that his happiest childhood memories stem from being pampered by ah mah.

“While I was serving National Service, I spent my free time visiting public libraries and borrowing cookbooks,” he added.

He would study the recipes and experimented with them until he got it right.

“The Kueh Salat took me about four attempts before I actually got it right and when I did, the feeling of satisfaction was indescribable,” he quipped. His first successful attempt at making the technically-challenging Kueh Salat, spurred him on to try other recipes, building up his repertoire, one kueh at a time.

It wasn’t just the positive comments he received that spurred him on, it was his personal interest and love for kueh that motivated him to do better.

While most millennials would prefer a sugar-packed cupcake to a more traditional Ang Ku Kueh, Keith believes that kueh is something that we are all familiar or grew up with, and hence we will crave for it from time to time. It is this symbolic value about kueh that makes it more than just a commoditised product.

One of the best-tasting kueh in his arsenal would definitely be the Ang Ku Kueh. The chewy red skin is made from sweet potato which he boils and then mashes before adding coconut milk and oil to get that supple, chewy texture. Tucked within is generous filling of mung beans.

Keith also recently started selling Soon Kueh which took a lot of trial and error to get the right texture and thickness of the skin. He shared that the Soon Kueh requires a lot of effort from start to finish: from slicing the turnip into thin strips, to rolling out the dough and stuffing them into dumplings. Lots of attention to detail is required to ensure that the dumplings are not overstuffed or else they will split open while steaming.

Always on the adventure to explore other kinds of Kueh, Keith expressed that his current interest is in Teochew Kueh. He is also intrigued by the Hainanese Yi Buah, which is less commonly known. He also plans on doing more pop-ups and looking at more locations to set up shop. Who knows, Ahmahzing might just set up shop at a neighbourhood near you.

“Kueh is more than just a snack; it is part of our childhood and unique to our local culture,” he added.

I mean, let’s be real. Most of us would rather eat a real good Kueh Salat over a lemon meringue tart any day.

Interested in Keith’s homemade Nonya Kueh? Check out Ahmahzing’s Instagram page and maybe order a few for your Ah Mah to try!

Old Chang Kee’s Exclusive ‘Curry Day’ Flavours Are Unexpectedly Fruity – Will You Dare To Try Them?

Back in June, Old Chang Kee announced that Curry Day 2018 will be taking place on 27 and 28 July 2018.

In case you missed the announcement, here’s the article.

They also announced that they will be unveiling 2 new exclusive Curry puffs closer to Curry Day 2018.

Enter Old Chang Kee’s new Durian Curry Chicken’O and Jackfruit Curry Chicken’O.

Curry With Jackfruit And…Durian?

Sometimes, pandering to local cuisine can take drastic turns, and this is one of them.

It may be Durian season but we’re not quite sure what to feel about mixing Durian and Curry.

Jackfruit, on the other hand, might not be that much of a stretch, considering that jackfruit is a component used in curries in Bangladesh and other parts of Asia.

Here’s a look at the Durian Curry Chicken’O in all it’s pastel green glory.

And the Jackfruit Curry Chicken’O.

These new curry puffs will be available at Curry Day 2018 at Velocity@Novena Square.

It’ll cost $4 for 2 pieces for the new curry puffs. The Chilli Crab’O will also be available at Curry Day 2018.

Other than the myriad of Curry puff flavours you’ll find there, there will also be curry puff crimping demonstrations, so you can make your own at home! The kids can also take part in spice art lessons!

Are you looking forward to trying the Durian Curry Chicken’O and Jackfruit Curry Chicken’O?

Cold Stone Creamery’s Latest Concoction Features Cucumber Slices And…Spicy Sambal Ikan Bilis?

In another tribute to Singapore’s upcoming birthday and our diverse food culture, Cold Stone Creamery has come up with 2 new hyperlocal ice cream flavours – Nasi Lemak and Pulut Hitam.

These new flavours are available from 14 July to 31 August 2018.

The Nasi Lemak Ice Cream consists of coconut ice cream, roasted peanuts, rice puffs, spicy sambal ikan bilis and cucumber slices.

Once again, we’re not sure how to feel about this. And why does every reimagined dish revolve around Nasi Lemak? Do we not any other iconic dishes?

The Pulut Hitam Ice Cream is a little more familiar. NSFs will remember the cookhouse aunties in Tekong giving Pulut Hitam ice cream on the warmer days.

The version served at Cold Stone Creamery consists of coconut ice cream and black glutinous rice. Plain and simple.

Currently, there’s a 1-for-1 promotion on the Nasi Lemak and Pulut Hitam flavours for just $8.50. You can also add a plain or Pandan waffle cup for $1.20.

This isn’t the first time that Cold Stone Creamery has come up with local flavours. Back in April, they launched Chendol Ice Cream.

Once again, these 2 new local flavours will be available from 14 July to 31 August 2018 at all Cold Stone Creamery outlets islandwide.

Are you going to try their Nasi Lemak ice cream?

10 Michelin Bib Gourmand Eateries Actually Worth Visiting, According To S’poreans

The list of restaurants that have been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2018 has been released.

Not to be confused with the Michelin Star, the Bib Gourmand is awarded to eateries that serve really good food below a maximum price determined by local economic standards. For Singapore, the maximum is $45.

And this year, there are 17 new additions to the Bib Gourmand list.

However, with so many eateries on the 50-strong list, how many are ACTUALLY worth visiting?

After all, food preference is subjective. So we’ve sieved through the list of 50 to pick out our 10 favourites.

Here we go.

Ah Er Soup

If you love soup like I do, then this is it.

I’ve seen many shops with the sign “老火汤”, which translates into “Old Fire Soup”, but I’ve never come across one with accolades like the Bib Gourmand.

Ah Er Soup serves up various herbal soups with offerings such as Lotus Root Soup and Watercress Soup and even their own version of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall.

Every order of soup comes with white or pumpkin rice. And the best part is, the prices are incredibly affordable, between $3.50 to $6.50.

Ah Er Soup
Address: 6 Jalan Bukit Merah, ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre #01-143, Singapore 618642
Opening Hours: Daily: 11am – 9pm

Alliance Seafood

Alliance Seafood blends into the sea of tze char stalls at Newton Food Centre very easily mainly because it looks like a generic stall.

It doesn’t really look any different from a regular tze char stall.

Like any tze char stall, the available dishes are quite standard. You can expect Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crab, Fried Rice, Cereal Prawn, BBQ Stingray, Sambal Kangkong, and more.

Seats are hard to find due to the crowd here, so come early with a tissue packet for the chope.

Alliance Seafood
Address: Newton Food Centre, 501 Clemenceau Avenue North #01-27, Singapore 229495
Opening Hours: Thu – Tue: 1pm – 12am, Wed: Closed

Chey Sua Carrot Cake

Don’t expect to find the sweet, dark carrot cake here because Chey Sua Carrot Cake only serves the savoury, white carrot cake.

The carrot cake here is homemade from scratch, unlike most carrot cake stalls nowadays who prefer to use machine-processed carrot cake chunks.

The cooking method is also slightly different. While most carrot cake hawkers pan-fry the carrot cake chunks first before cracking and adding the eggs later, Chey Sua Carrot Cake mixes the carrot cake chunks in beaten egg mixture before pouring it on to the pan to fry.

The result is a carrot cake that resembles a pancake. Flat with each carrot cake chunk evenly coated in egg mixture.

Need your carrot cake fix? Be prepared for a wait. Especially now that they’ve received their Bib Gourmand accolade.

Chey Sua Carrot Cake
Address: Blk 127 Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre Lorong 1 #02-30, Singapore 310127
Opening Hours: Tue – Sun: 6am – 1pm, Mon: Closed

Hoo Kee Bak Chang

Hoo Kee Bak Chang is known to be Singapore’s best bak chang (rice dumpling).

If you love salted egg, then you’ll love this too. They’re known for their Salted Egg with Chestnut Bak Chang – a traditional bak chang with the addition of salted egg yolk.

The bak changs are priced from $2.80 to $3.60 and each one is handmade.

If you know your bak chang, then you have to try this because there’s no better bak chang than this.

There are other sides to order as well, such as various boiled soups and blanched vegetables with oyster sauce.

Because of the long waiting times, there’s the option to call ahead to place your orders so piping hot claypot rice will be ready when you arrive.

Na Na Homemade Curry

I remember there was a stall in Bukit Panjang Plaza’s Kopitiam that sold really good Chinese-style curry.

I love Chinese-style curry. It is usually spicier and comes paired with either white rice or baguette.

This is what you’ll find at Na Na Homemade Curry. They serve a variety of Chinese-style curries, with options such as Curry Chicken ($3), Curry Vegetable ($3), Curry Fish Head, and even Curry Mutton ($4) and Curry Pork Ribs ($4).

[caption id="attachment_36002" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Christina Nanana[/caption]

Order yours with a side of white rice or toasted baguette slices because you’ll definitely need a buffer for the incoming spice hit.

Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee

Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee always has a long queue, but don’t worry, it clears pretty quickly because every plate is cooked and served with surprising speed.

Even though it says “Kway Teow Mee” in the name, what they serve here is basically Char Kway Teow. However, the version here isn’t as oily as the ones you’d find elsewhere, with plenty of egg, lard, beansprouts, and cockles.

[caption id="attachment_36003" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Steve G[/caption]

They’re also not heavy-handed with their dark soy sauce so the Char Kway Teow is more savoury than sweet.

You can order the spicy version and your order will be fried with chilli instead of the typical scoop of chilli on the side.

This is probably the best Char Kway Teow you can find in Singapore at the moment.

Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee
Address: #02-18 Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street, Singapore 051531
Opening Hours: Daily: 7am – 9pm

Sin Kee Famous Cantonese Chicken Rice

Chicken rice is probably Singapore’s most iconic dish. Everyone can learn to cook chicken rice, but few can make GOOD chicken rice.

However, that’s what Sin Kee Famous Cantonese Chicken Rice has managed to achieve. The chicken is tender and full of flavour, so no complaints there. The chicken rice, however, could do with a stronger flavour.

[caption id="attachment_36001" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Marvin Lowe[/caption]

At this point it just seems like white rice flavoured with a bit of chicken stock and is a little mild. I prefer the chicken rice to be full of flavour.

And now the aspect of chicken rice that can make or break the dish, the chilli. Once again, flawless execution. Spicy with a hit of tanginess, thanks to the lime and vinegar.

You want good chicken rice? This is where you should be going.

Sin Kee Famous Cantonese Chicken Rice
Address: Blk 40 Holland Drive, Singapore 270040
Opening Hours: Tue – Sun: 11am – 8pm, Mon: Closed

Shi Hui Yuan Hor Fun Specialty

Ipoh Hor Fun is a magical dish. It’s neither kway teow or hor fun. It just toes the line between the 2 and is so simple yet delicious.

The ones served at Shi Hui Yuan come with either duck, chicken, braised spare ribs, or a mixture of all 3.

[caption id="attachment_36000" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Jeremy Tan[/caption]

The recommended one is the Blissful Combination ($5), which has braised shiitake mushrooms, roast duck and chicken slices, as well as braised spare ribs.

A worthy mention is the sauce that they pour over the hor fun. It’s a magical concoction of the braising liquid of the mushrooms, spare ribs, and chicken.

The biggest problem you’ll encounter here is finishing your hor fun before you can finish the sauce.

Shi Hui Yuan Hor Fun Specialty
Address: 159 Mei Chin Road, Mei Ling Market & Food Centre #02-33, Singapore 140159
Opening Hours: Wed – Sun: 7.30am – 2pm, Mon – Tue: Closed

Zai Shun Curry Fish Head

Zai Shun Curry Fish Head looks just like a regular cai fan stall albeit slightly more upscale, with their rather impressive display shelves for the dishes.

While their name suggests that they’re known for their Curry Fish Head, it’s their Steamed Fish that fares better and is more popular.

[caption id="attachment_35998" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Sze Qi Wong[/caption]

The steamed fish depends on the catch of the day which ranges from red snapper to grouper.

Aside from their signature Steamed Fish, other must-orders include the Salted Egg Minced Pork, Fried Egg with Bittergourd, Har Cheong Gai (Prawn Paste Chicken), Braised Pork Belly, and Herbal Chicken.

[caption id="attachment_35999" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burppler Gin[/caption]

There’s a lot more that’s worth trying so our advice is bring more people so you’ll get to try everything once.
