Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife

A good santoku knife can be very versatile and a Chinese chef's knife can be awesome if you know how to use it (which I do not, yet)

Win Tickets to 'Singapore Takeout', September 17

Unfortunately all the satay in Singapore is made in one centralized factory. But if you can get the real thing it's damn good.

Otherwise prawn mee is pretty killer.

Snapshots from Malaysia: What Is Malaysian Cuisine?

Nyonya cooking is actually a sub-genus of Malaysian food. It's the cuisine of the very, very early ethnic Chinese who inter-married with Malays when they arrived in the area (so-called 'Straits Chinese' or Nyonya or Peranakan).

It's related to the broader universe of Malaysian cooking but also distinctive. The best Nyonya meals are served in restaurants that specialize in that type of cooking and these days it's considered as indigenous to Singapore as it is to Malaysia.

Cook the Book: 'Purple Citrus & Sweet Perfume'

Some potato gozleme can be delicious as a light snack.
Sole kebap at fish restaurants can be glorious if done right.
Of course, a lot of kebap or kofte or tava meals can be awesome.

However, a nice single-meal dish is probably Sarayi Manti (fried ground lamb dumplings) served with yoghurt, garlic and red pepper.

Drink the Book: 'Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes'

My grandma used to make me saffron ice cream when I went to visit. Sometimes she turned it into a milkshake. It was glorious.

Weekend Giveaway: 'Clean Start'

I allow myself to eat a little heavier in winter since it's better for the metabolism. I eat lighter in spring.

In spring I drink more tonic teas, like one made of fresh grated ginger and lime and mint.
