The Food Canon

Cooking and teaching in Toronto has been an eye opener for me. It has helped me to be more aware of how the recipes on my blog are being read. As some ingredients are different, it can be difficult to achieve a similar outcome.

I will blog here a Char Siew recipe which I used in a recent cooking cum teaching session. Believe it or not, some of the people who were there have not heard of Char Siew. I suppose Char Siew awareness is not on the same universal scale as burgers.

Editor's note: This post is an April Fool's satire. Do have a laugh. 

Some of the best Singaporean Street Food may well be found outside the sunny island. Here, we reveal some of the hottest finds in the winter of Toronto.

I have been living in Toronto on my Sabbatical since the end of last year.

Traversing through the little streets and corners of this fascinating multi-cultural city, I am pleasantly surprised to discover some authentic Singaporean street food.

I am not talking about "Singapore Fried Noodles” (what is that?) or some hodge-podge pan-Asian dishes. I am encountering authentic Bak Chor Mee, Hokkien Mee, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Ngor Hiang and the likes.
