Fluff Bakery—the BEST halal CUPCAKES in Singapore!

Fluff Bakery, is one of the best known halal bakeries in in the Singapore’s Muslim community, famed for its innovative and toothsome halal cupcakes.

Established by head Baker Nursyazanna Syaira initially as a hobby, she evolved it into an online business, then to a brick–and–mortar store in 2013 due to the increased followings for her cupcakes.

Her tiny and quaint bakery is nestled along 4 Jalan Pisang in the Arab Street area

I ordered two flavours—the red velvet and the bandung. As a Singaporean, I certainly like the bandung cupcake best!

Bandung is a flavour derived from the bandung drink, a popular bright pink coloured beverage, consists of rose syrup and milk, commonly found in Singapore and Malaysia.

The bandung syrup was fused in the center of the cupcake, and the sweet fragrance of bandung enveloped my whole mouth when I tucked into it

“Their speciality is the smooth creamy filling in the centre which is like a surprise in the mouth with every cupcake. Their flavor change regularly and are always worth waiting for. Highly recommended,” wrote Netizen Namdev Sachathep.

That was my first time trying Fluff Bakery’s cupcakes. The result? Satisfying! These heavenly cupcakes were rich, sweet and creamy. Can’t wait to try it again!

Singapore “Hawker Heroes” Beat Gordon Ramsay in Local Food

(http://youtu.be/vHSppNqwX60)

Gordon Ramsay loses 2 to 1 in a cook-off against local street vendors in a culinary contest in Singapore.

Full story:
More than five-thousand people gathered to catch a glimpse of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in Singapore on Sunday (July 7) in a cooking competition with three local street food hawkers.

The star chef made three Singaporean signature dishes—chicken rice, chilli crab and a local spicy noodle soup called laksa—to win over a crowd of mostly local tasters.

A thousand tasters from the public judged and voted for their preferred version of each dish.

Singapore food lovers like teacher Rachel Chan were divided over which versions to choose during the judging.

[Rachel Chan, Teacher]: 
“I think both sides have equal chances, especially for the chilli crab and the chicken rice. There are good points of each dish, especially for the chilli crab—one is tangy and the other one is sweet — so it really depends on the eater’s preference.”

[Sean Lim, Student]: 
“I think so far I’m Team Gordon. I think the chilli crab is better, it has more flavour and it’s more spicy and I love spicy food.” 

The result was a close one where Ramsay lost out 2 to 1 to the local hawkers.

Ramsay won in the chilli crab category trumping local favourite Mr. Ang Kiam Meng from Jumbo Seafood.

But he lost out in the chicken rice category to Mrs. Foo Kui Lian of Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice and in the laksa category to Mr. Ryan Koh of 328 Katong Laksa.

Ramsay had spent time over the past few days learning from the three local vendors in their respective categories.

[Gordon Ramsay, Chef]: 
“Do you know what? The real winners tonight are the Singaporeans. Where did I go wrong? I think for the laksa, I needed a little bit more coconut, a little bit more spice. It’s tough to get up to speed in 48 hours to how good these dishes are. But, for me, what I’m taking home is another confirmation to how good these hawkers food is and what it stands for.”

The celebrity chef known for his fiery temper in reality cooking shows was humble in defeat.

[Gordon Ramsay, Chef]: 
“Chefs are obsessed with other chefs beating them. But to see the generosity and the way they treated me inside their hawker stalls and I’m the disruption… so for them to still be that gratifying and tell me how to cook their food, honestly, it’s humbling. I mean really humbling.” 

In June, two-point-five-million people had cast their votes to determine who were Singapore’s most popular hawkers to go up against Ramsay in the cooking competition.

Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh

This shop offers one of the best Ang Ku Kueh in Singapore.

Here is the website of Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh –http://amknonyakueh.com/content/main/index.html

Mr Ronnie Yeo, 53, who helps run the family-owned Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh at Hougang Avenue 3,
confidently told us that the stall’s ang ku kueh stay tender for 24 hours.

Though it is called Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh, the shop actually is located at Blk 7 Hougang Ave 3

A Busy Sunday Morning

Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh (Source - http://www.asiaone.com/Wine%252CDine+%2526+Unwind/Reviews/Story/A1Story20071218-41589.html)

IT IS not easy to find ang ku kueh or red-tortoise cake with skin that stays soft overnight.

This steamed glutinous rice flour kueh filled with green bean or peanut is best eaten soon after it’s made because the thin, stretchy skin turns stiff if you keep it for more than a day.

But Mr Ronnie Yeo, 53, who helps run the family-owned Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh at Hougang Avenue 3, confidently told me that the stall’s ang ku kueh stay tender for 24 hours.

True enough, they were still as good. The skin, which is not too thick, does not stick to the teeth, one of the attributes of a good ang ku kueh.So I kept a couple aside and tried them the next morning.

One of the secrets to the soft skin, Mr Yeo says, is that corn oil is mixed into the dough. Although no coconut milk is used, the kueh is fragrant.

His family also uses glutinous rice flour and pounded glutinous rice to make the chewy skin.

FAMILY RECIPE: Ronnie Yeo, who runs Ang Mo Kio Nonya Kueh, says corn oil helps his ang ku kueh to stay tender overnight.

The recipe comes from his mother, Madam Tan Lee Keow, 80, who learnt to make it from her China-born mother-in-law.

Madam Tan started taking orders for the kueh about 30 years ago from friends and relatives who liked what she made.

To cope with the growing demand, she rented a factory in Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1 to make the kueh, and then moved to a shop in Hougang about four years ago. The spritely woman leaves the running of the business to her children but she still helps out at the shop.

Her kueh comes in five flavours: green bean, peanut, salted bean, durian and coffee, and these are priced at 35 cents and 60 cents each. They are also packed in boxes of five and 10.

I like the salty bean filling wrapped in a black sesame skin best.

As you bite into it, you first taste the slight saltiness, then the sweetness of the smooth green bean filling and you appreciate how well the contrast works.

The skin is made from black sesame seeds which are skilfully fried till fragrant and then ground, before being worked into the glutinous rice flour.

I also like the traditional ang ku kueh, which comes with a smooth green bean filling.

Another must-try is the Teochew png kueh (glutinous rice kueh), packed with diced mushrooms, dried shrimps and roasted peanuts.

Good-quality dried shrimps give this kueh oomph, and lends the rice a natural sweetness. The kueh also come in boxes of five and 10 but you can get individual pieces at 35 cents and 60 cents each.
