Food CSI
Hainanese Chicken Rice
Hainanese Chicken Rice is one of our national favourites. Have you ever wondered what makes the chicken so irresistibly tender? Through a method called velveting, plunging the chicken into ice water creates that jelly-like, silky texture that makes it so yummy! In collaboration with Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, the brand-new 3-part video series "FOOD CSI" features a variety of food items and their history.
The Wok Hei in Hokkien Mee
Have you ever wondered how certain local dishes just taste extra yummy in hawker centres or restaurants? That's due to "wok hei." Learn more about wok hei and hokkien mee as our investigators attempt to recreate wok hei with lab equipment. Will Bunsen burners do the trick? Here is episode 2 of Food CSI, a collaboration with Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.
Nanyang Coffee From An Arbor Press?
Do you take coffee in the morning? Kopi O? Kopi C? In our final episode of Food CSI, our investigators try out using unusual equipment to grind their coffee beans. Will it still taste good? A collaboration with Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.
