Singapore

Set in an invaluable position along the India-China trade route, Singapore quickly grew to be one of the world’s most important port cities during the 19th century, attracting thousands of immigrants looking for better opportunities. As a result, many of the citizens of the island city-state today are of Chinese, Indian, and Malay descent. Perhaps Singapore’s diversity is most apparent in its food, a fusion of various cultures’ cooking styles into cuisine that’s uniquely Singaporean. In one of Singapore’s popular hawker centers (emporiums of cheap, delicious food), the mouth-watering options are endless. Wandering from stall to stall, one can nibble on the Malay specialty satay, stop to sample the Chinese treat Hainanese chicken rice, and finish things off with the Indian snack roti prata, a delicious fried dough. Of course, no visit to Singapore would be complete without a meal of fish head curry, arguably the country’s most famous dish. Both the Indian and Chinese versions of this dish are immensely popular across Singapore.

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies

Reviewed on Nov. 12, 2009 by Avilsta

wow, I have been searching for a brownie recipe that was just chocolate cake in disguise and WOW, this is so good. I found mine to be too thin since I halved this and baked it in a 9 inch pan. It was so awesome though, wished didn't halve it.

Grilled Lamb with Brown Sugar Glaze

Reviewed on Oct. 20, 2009 by singaporesylvia

I used a 2.5 lb leg of lamb, cubed; didn't have tarragon so I used basil and thyme, and it worked wonderfully. Served with brown rice and caramelized onion, with a side of tabbouleh. Great!

French Silk Chocolate Pie I

Reviewed on Oct. 19, 2009 by Avilsta

Like, wowwwwwwwwwwwww. So good and so simple, I made it in less than 15 minutes since I popped it into the freezer. I followed what someone else said and whipped the egg whites into meringue before folding it in, made sense to me. I used cocoa powder since the choc. chips I had on hand just wouldn't melt for some reason... Had to add 2 tbsp hot water to smooth the end out since the cocoa powder made it a paste but afterwards, everything went smooth and ended up being super awesome. Will use lesser butter/sugar/cocoa powder the next time though P.S: Didn't use a pie crust since I was too lazy to make one, didn't need one anyways since you can just scoop this into a bowl and make it like a fancy pudding
