ST/LIFE/PAGE<LIF-005> | FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2019 | THE STRAITS TIMES | happenings life D5 Hedy Khoo STFood Online Editor recommends Picks OMAKASE ODEN AT THE PUBLIC IZAKAYA BY HACHI For an izakaya experience with a difference, try the Food Omakase Oden Set (right, $30++) at The Public Izakaya by Hachi in Tras Street. The set, suitable for two to three to share, comprises 10 items selected by the chef. There is also an $18++ set with six items. I am not a fan of boiled foods and used to think of oden as a Japanese version of yong tau foo. But this set changed my mind. The broth is boiled from scratch using daikon and Japanese soya sauce. It then absorbs the flavours of the different foods cooked in it. Start with the lighter tasting items, like hanpen, a triangular white fish cake. Light, airy and sponge-like, it soaks up the taste of the broth beautifully. The chunks of daikon may appear unexciting, but their texture is tender and, again, you can taste the flavour of the broth.

  • 20 13 Trend Insight Report
    20 TREND INSIGHT July 13 REPORT SRIRACHA BY THE NUMBERS According to Gourmet Food, Sriracha is a hot chili sauce named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in the Chonburi Province of Eastern Thailand. The general recipe for sriracha includes ground chiles, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt, and was first developed to serve with seafood. In the US, the Huy Fong brand is the best known sriracha chili sauce available. Thicker and less sweet than a typical Thai sriracha, it makes an excellent multi- purpose condiment. Globally, sriracha is commonly used as a condiment served with fresh fish, seafood, grilled meats and tofu dishes. In North America, sriracha is used as an ingredient to add flavor to a wide range of food products. It is also mixed into dipping sauces, spreads, marinades and vinaigrettes. Sriracha in the Media While perusing Pinterest, sriracha pins were spotted with a good variety of food and beverage recipes—from the ultimate sriracha burger and stir-fried sriracha shrimp to more thirst quenching beverages like the strawberry sriracha margarita, sriracha bloody mary and a sriracha-lada cocktail. A quick Twitter search provides tweets mentioning sriracha as “amazingly spicy” as well as mentions of “sriracha will rock your world.” Tweets also include recipes for a variety of offerings including: BBQ chicken wings, egg sandwiches, oatmeal, gravy and guacamole including sriracha. One tweet by Allrecipes.com even includes a grilled tofu skewers with a sriracha sauce recipe for “#MeatlessMondays.” On Food.com more than 303 recipes appear if you search for sriracha. Recipe examples include primarily sauces and chicken, but other recipes include soups, noodles, brussel sprouts, and breads.

  • The Thai Tabletop and Its Condiments Depending on the Dishes Offered
    The Thai Tabletop and Its Condiments Depending on the dishes offered by a restaurant, there will be a specific selection of condiments available on the table. It's is a given that Thais customize their food before they eat it. Some of my Thai friends are heavy with the sugar shaker, some add a splash of Maggi or soy sauce, some prefer the sour heat of chiles and lime or vinegar, but it is with a dish of noodles that Thais really express themselves through their condiment selections. Every Thai has a personal ritual that they go through by adding these condiments in varying ratios to their noodles, and the noodle cook does not take offense in the slightest. In every noodle establishment, whether it is a full-blown restaurant, a shophouse café, a boat vendor, or a street vendor you will find khreuang puang : literally ‘circle of spices'. It's a reference to the standard condiments on the Thai table, especially where noodles are served: naam plaa (fish sauce), phrik pom (chile powder), phrik dong (chile slices in vinegar), and white sugar. The purpose of these condiments is to provide options for diners to modify their food as they wish, following the basic flavor profile of Thai cuisine: hot and sour, hot and salty, hot, and sweet (especially in the Central region). These four condiments are usually held in some sort of caddy, so that they can easily be passed around the table by diners. It's not unusual for them to be covered by a tightly-woven plastic mesh bowl turned upside-down, to exclude flying insects.
