Mooncakes Gone Corporate

Growing up in the 1950s, I well remember that mooncake celebrations were almost de rigueur among the Chinese in Singapore. No matter what the person's status is, he or she would make an effort to offer some food to the Moon, or rather the Moon Goddess, on that special autumn night – the 15th day of the Chinese 8th moon .....

Hawker Centers

Hawker centers are designated areas where licensed hawkers peddle food to the public. You can find a foodscape of diverse offerings (Chinese, Malay, Indian, Western, vegetarian, beverages, desserts) and many local favorites at these food outlets......

Chappati anyone?

Categories: makan place, tidbits | by taovictor

In Singapore, one can say that most of the Singaporeans eat Rojak (mix, as in the famous, Chinese-Indian-Malay salads/assorted finger food) each day. It could be Chinese for breakfast, Malay for Lunch and Indian for dinner. But it could also be Japanese for lunch and Mexican for dinner!

On this beautiful Saturday afternoon, I decided to head for my favourite Chappati stall in this Chinese coffeshop at the junction of Norris Rd and Serangoon Rd, just opposite to the Hindu Temple in Little India. The renovated coffeeshop did not look any different and the only business seemed to be the Chappati and rice with many dishes to choose from.

Since I was going for Chappati, I went for its Curry Chicken and Kima. Two pieces of Chappati with Chicken and Kima, and I am a happy man. Me and my wife had two pieces of Chappati and shared a plate of Chicken and a plate of Kima. All for less than S$9.

Chappati tastes best when it is hot. I often wondered how the Punjabi ladies prepare them at home. It is hot and one has to press the Chappati constantly to make it rise.

I think this Chappati stall is run by the Gujeratis.
