Just some pictures of the famous Hainanese Chicken Rice from Singapore that I have made this weekend. Gosh, I miss Singapore, Ice Kachang, Satay, Popiah and all.
Please help me!!! I bet with my co workers that I would find them chicken Rice in Seoul! They are from Singapore and talk about it every day!! Thank you soo much!
Hi Jookan, it is quite difficult to find Singaporean food in Seoul when I was living there in 2006-2007. Maybe more Singaporean restaurants have sprung up there now. I know there is Crystal Jade Chinese restaurant and Yakun Kaya Toast in Seoul. They are both franchises from Singapore. I think Chinese Jade serves Duck and Chicken. Not sure if it's the same as the famous Chicken Rice from Singapore. Otherwise you would have to have instant premix from the Asian grocery store in Itaewon.
Current Location: Singapore, home.
I hadn't been updating the blog for a year due to my busy schedule. My current focus is baking. I simply love it and spend most of my free time baking bread or assembling cakes.
Lyon (2008-2010):
I love Lyon! The gastronomy capital of France. Food markets everywhere in the morning. Lots of ethnic grocery stores: Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, African, Arab,Japanese and even Korean. Best of all I can find my frozen Roti Prata* (Spring Home) from Singapore! What a gem.

Southern France near Montpellier (2007-2008):
I still have a kitchen. Living in a small town means lots of cooking at home. The locals seldom frequent restaurants.
I don't think well of processed food with all those hidden preservatives and chemicals added to it as well as other ingredients beyond my understanding(E621, e627, e631, ES51?). Other than occasional premade cans and frozen packages from the supermarket, I prepare most of the meals.
Seoul (2006-2007):
"An explorer, whose interest is discovering new cuisine: French, Mediterranean, Chinese, Singaporean, Middle-eastern and Ethiopian."
"A Singaporean expat living in Seoul."
"I get very homesick in very often. I find pleasure in preparing a meal from scratch with fresh ingredients. Given that foreign food and ingredients are scarce in Seoul, we will have to make do with whatever ingredients I can lay my hands on. I remain hopeful of finding them soon. South Korea is developing so quickly day by day. New imports are arriving on the shelves of supermarkets."
