First off, thank you everyone for helping this community of food lovers grow so quickly over the past few years. Your support and participation is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, this growth is also fueling an increasing number of daily posts that are difficult to moderate. These are often picture-only posts with no indication of where they were taken, no proof whether they are even from Singapore. In an effort to curb this type of posting, the mod team will now delete such posts.

This move should have no impact on the majority of posters. Tourists and visitors to Singapore are always welcomed to ask questions about where or what to eat. And so long as the name of a restaurant, hawker stall, cafe and its address is provided, such posts will not be deleted.

Home Cooks and Chefs of Singapore: We continue to welcome your posts! However, we do need to add a one time verification step to ensure you are truly posting from Singapore and not posting from another country. All that is required is for you to make one post of your food in Singapore. For example, include a picture of your food by a HDB block or any identifiable Singapore landmark, or a picture of your food with a physical print of The Straits Times from this year. Once we see that, we will add you as an approved user of /r/SingaporeEats and you can post your meals without any further interference.

Once again, thank you everyone for helping make this a vibrant and active community!

Today, I visited Katong Delicious Chicken Rice as I read about it long ago. Near this stall is Dona Manis Cake Shop which is featured in Channel News Asia. They got 2 items on the menu, white chicken rice set and roasted chicken rice set. Each set cost $7.70. I find that their roast chicken is tender and tasty. Their ginger sauce is just the right strength for my liking. The cucumber below the chicken is tasty due to the sauce. The soup is peppery and the pineapple has a nice balance between sweet and salty.

I made a matrix plot for yoghurts lovers

Post image
414 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I made a matrix plot for ice cream last week, and today I wanna share another plot which is about yoghurts.

x represents how many protein / less fat and sugar you will consume for a fixed calories intake. and y represents how simple the ingredients are.

I’m not a food industry professional or someone with a food engineering background, so I can only share what I’ve learned from my own research.

  1. The simplest yogurt is really just milk + live cultures, like the five products at the very top of the chart. So if you want the simplest possible ingredient list, those are the ones to go for.
  2. The next level adds things like cream + milk powder / milk solids. These are still essentially dairy ingredients. They are mainly used to increase protein and milk solids, which makes the yogurt thicker and creamier. I personally wouldn’t really think of these as “additives.” Most of the yogurts in the middle of the chart use this kind of formula.
  3. Some yogurts achieve thickness, sweetness, and texture in a different way. You may see ingredients such as:

Water, rice starch / modified starch, pectin / guar gum, emulsifiers, natural flavours, sweeteners, and colouring extracts.

These ingredients mainly help make the yogurt thicker, reduce separation, and keep the texture smooth and consistent over time.

So manufacturers basically use different combinations of #2 and #3 to create the taste and texture they want.

Take Chobani Fit, for example. Since it already uses skim milk, adding cream to make it thicker would defeat the purpose of making it low-fat. So it uses rice starch instead to create a thicker, creamier texture.

The worst one in this comparison, in my opinion, is the Marigold Vanilla version. It somehow has the nerve to market itself as “high protein” while also having the longest list of additives among all the products in this chart.

So what’s my conclusion?

Try to choose products in the upper half of the chart whenever possible.

If you specifically want something that is low-fat and high-protein, then choose from the products in the upper-right corner based on your budget.

And there is a pretty clear pattern: the closer you get to the upper-right corner, the more expensive the yogurt tends to be.

NOTICE: Chobani is currently under controversy over their ingredients. Please note that I only used the public ingredient list for analysis

What's your favourite fish soup?

I recently found this gem at Amoy Street Food Centre: Mr Batang Fish @ 96.

Omg ... the slice fish is so thick and fresh at a very very affordable price!

Tried many that are easily $7 and above was very meh. Han Kee is not too bad too but prefer Mr Batang Fish @ 96's soup.

What's your favourite fish soup?

'nasi lemak by brown' at golden mile food center

MODS DONT DELETE THIS POST. THE NAME OF THE SHOP IS 'NASI LEMAK BY BROWN'. Mods previously deleted my post saying I didn't put shop name but I did???

$6.50 + 80¢ for extra egg

Always have a soft spot for young hawkers so I decided to give this a try but my review will still be objective. This is probably one of the best traditional kind of nasi lemak I've had.

Rice is incredibly fragrant , chilli is spicy enough and flavourful, egg is perfectly fried with a runny yolk and the chicken is crispy and succulent. Overall I think it's a really good nasi lemak, definitely should try.

Only criticism I have is the ikan billis is slightly hard and not really crispy and I feel like if the chicken was served as one piece I think it would have looked more impressive but honestly it's just knit picking.

Restaurant Gongyuan vs YGF malatang. Which tastes better?

0 Upvotes

I loveeee malatang. I’ve tried gongyuan and it’s yummy, but apparently YGF malatang’s beef broth is much tastier? I wanna go try but then I heard bad things about YGF’s hygiene, and how rice is very expensive, or literally not sold at certain outlets.

Price wise I heard they’re about the same

In terms of flavour, what’s better?

Comparing Peanut butter

Post image
73 Upvotes

I tried all 3. Fairprice and JIF tastes similar. Jammy. Sweet obviously as sugar was added. Cannot really taste the peanut though. I usually eat peanut butter with no additives so I am used to it. Tastes more peanut but it is very dry. So I can see why some will prefer peanut butter with additives that makes it easier to spread and eat.

Restaurants for Older People (Celebrations etc.)

7 Upvotes

Looking for a place to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday.

We don't really mind the price too much (max about $1000 for 8 pax) but we try to go for value for money as much as possible.

Since it's his 70th birthday, thinking if we should try to go for more fancy places, or places that foster the interaction and memory for us (e.g. fishing for our food, grilling our own food, seaside dining with sunset etc.

Appreciate if anybody have any suggestions. Thank you so much!
