The best part is dipping rice in this broth; the rice grains are coated in a delicious aroma, and every bite bursts with rich flavor. It's a truly delicious accompaniment to rice!

Purple Sweet Potato and Sago Pearl Coconut Milk Porridge

Purple Sweet Potato and Sago Pearl Coconut Porridge offers an interesting contrast of textures—mashed purple sweet potato combined with soft sweet potato chunks and chewy sago pearls—all mixed in a thick, creamy, slightly sweet coconut milk sauce. The bright purple color provides visual appeal, while the savory-sweet aroma is mouthwatering; this dish is perfect enjoyed warm for breakfast or cold as a refreshing snack. However, care is needed when cooking to prevent the coconut milk from separating and the sago from cooking evenly, and to avoid making the sweet potato soggy that it loses its contrasting texture.

Teochew carrot cake

Traditional Teochew radish cake is usually deep-fried, but this twist is a fun twist! First, steam it to allow the sweet potato flour to blend with the shredded radish, Chinese sausage, and celery, locking in the soft, chewy texture. Then, pan-fry it until the crust becomes golden and crispy, while the inside remains soft and fluffy. The sweetness of the radish blends with the fragrant Chinese sausage and savory celery for a rich, complex dish. This homemade dish is both delicious and satisfying, capturing both traditional flavors and new textures!
