The Best Healthy Gourmet Recipes In Singapore

Tom yum-roasted capon with assorted root vegetables

We recommend this as an alternative to traditional turkey. The unabashed spiciness of red tom yam paste permeates right through the bird so you can skip the lengthy marinating process. A touch of butter results in tender roasted meat while honey caramelises the skin to a glistening crisp.

Red wine chocolate truffles

Impress your guests at your next get-together by whipping up these decadent chocolate truffles. When slicing through the block of chocolate, use a knife that’s been heated briefly for a sharp, clean cut.

Ginger butter chicken

Straining full-fat yogurt in muslin overnight thickens its consistency so it does not curdle at higher temperatures when cooked. Since you’re removing liquid, this process will reduce the volume of yogurt so always start with double the amount called for in a recipe.

Shark’s fin melon in mushroom consommé

This gourd gets its moniker from the way its flesh disintegrates into shark’s fin-like threads when cooked. For silky strands that look like just the real thing, steam the melon until soft then pull the fibres apart with your hands.

Chocolate bundt cake

The central tube of a bundt pan lets more of the cake mixture come into surface contact with the pan, allowing for faster and more even heat distribution. For this reason, it’s best to turn the temperature down halfway during baking so the cake doesn’t ‘overcook’.

Spring onion pork tortilla bread toast

It’s hard to go wrong with pork fillet or tenderloin, a lean cut located between the leg and shoulder of a pig. There’s very little fat, so it goes well with most cooking methods and cooks quickly. Slice the toast into bite-size pieces as party snacks or go the whole hog—pun intended—and serve it as a main.
