Ang Chong Yi New Classics: Rediscovering Comfort Food with a Contemporary Flair

Imagine your favourite dish. It feels good in your stomach and warms you inside. Comfort food is actually a reflection of culture, memories, and how one identifies oneself. Despite that, comfort food can look to the future instead of remaining attached to the past. In fact, chefs and food bloggers have started reimagining old traditional favourites, making them contemporary by just adding new ingredients, flavours and techniques in order to make them seem both familiar and new.

What does comfort food mean?

It is a term used to describe food that gives a feeling of well-being or happiness which may be nostalgic as well. It may easily vary depending on who you are, where you come from or what occasion it is for. Some examples include macaroni cheese, chicken soup, pizza, ice cream and chocolate cake.

Also, eating comfort foods has psychological benefits such as reduced stress levels, improved moods and stronger social ties. People at Cornell University have discovered that consuming comfort foods helps overcome loneliness or boredom, hence bringing back happy moments. Thus, it can be seen as self-care.

How are comfort food dishes being reinvented?

Some chefs as well as food bloggers are challenging this notion of simple; hearty and indulgence by giving classic comfort foods their own twist. They experiment with cuisines, ingredients and methods to create the modern types of comfort foods that appeal to people today.

For instance, Ang Chong Yi Food Blogger and Critic in Singapore has been showcasing recipes for Asian-inspired comfort food dishes on his blogs. His recipe list includes;

Bak Kut Teh Ramen: A fusion of Singaporean bak kut teh with Japanese ramen noodles topped off with anise, cinnamon and cloves to make the broth fragrant and spicy. The dish is garnished with sliced chilli, fried garlic and cilantro.

Nasi Lemak Burger: A crispy chicken patty marinated in coconut milk and spices nestled between two rice buns which is a tribute that was made to Malaysia’s national dish. The burger is served with cucumbers and some sambal – a spicy chilli sauce that brings out the flavours of the meat.

Mango Sticky Rice Cake: This cake is a combination of Thai and French flavours. It consists of layers of vanilla sponge cake, whipped cream and fresh mango slices topped with sticky rice cooked in coconut milk plus sugar. The cake is drizzled with toasted sesame seeds for extra crunchiness, while coconut sauce enhances its aroma.

Conclusion

Trying new classic comfort foods can be both fun and delicious as well as a way of getting to know different cultures, cuisines, and ingredients. Alternatively, you may come up with your own versions of comfort food by combining elements from various dishes or learning new ways to enjoy them. Additionally, it is possible that they will serve as a source of inspiration for you in terms of being more innovative, risk-taking and having an open mind while cooking and living life.

Top 10 Singapore Food and where to get it

OJT EATS | Singapulah

If you've walked down Shaftesbury Avenue lately, you may have seen a bit of a queue forming across the road from the Les Mis theatre. If you look closely, you'll see that it is for a new Singapore restaurant called Singapulah.

The place has a very retro aesthetic that works really well. It essentially looks like something out of Singapore in the 80s (or at least how we imagine it would look - seeing as we don't have any real idea)

Food-wise, the place is all about showing off the classics of Singaporean cuisine, including some slightly lesser known dishes such as this kueh pie tee. Apparently it's a signature Peranakan dish made with crisp shells filled with stewed turnip and carrots and topped with prawn and peanuts. This was really refreshing and a nice light start to the meal.

While they do all the classics, there's also a couple of slight twists. These were fried chilli crab baos. It's a pretty good attempt at getting all the elements of a chilli crab in a handy snack sized portion. You have the fried mantou in the bun dough and then it's filled with the chilli crab mixture. We'd have liked a little bit more actual crab in this but other than that, this was really nice. A great little alternative for when you don't want a whole crab.

This place does a bunch of different type of noodles so we figured we had to order at least one of them. This was the Singapulah Bak Chor Mee. It's a wheat noodle dish with fish balls, pork belly and a bunch of other things too.

Onto the kopi pork: little morsels of slightly crispy pork in an ever so slightly coffee flavoured sauce. These were very tasty. I couldn't really taste the coffee too much and it was more a slightly sweet almost bbq sauce but there was a hint of the bitterness that you get from coffee in there.

Then it was finally onto dessert. We ordered the kueh lapis which is what looks like a multilayered rice cake. It was very sticky and the flavour was pretty subtle but a lovely end to the meal.

All in all, this was a pretty impressive meal. The decor and atmosphere of the place was excellent and I'll definitely be going back at some point to try their chilli crab and cereal prawns! It's a little pricey for what it is but worth a visit for a good example of some Singaporean classics.

Singapulah, 53 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LB

Cheers, JL
