ieat writes: With Wahcow, Taukwa and Liverpool"Bu Jian Tian" CharsiewOur Kakis have been raving about Meng Kee Charsiew which Wahcow brought back from KL and were lamenting why we can't get Charsiew which is as good here. The main characteristic of Meng Kee's Charsiew is that it is really fatty and they managed to roast it till the fats just melts in your mouth, so you really get a great flavourful and tender Charsiew. But Singaporeans tend to be more health conscious, so many of the stalls here sell very lean Charsiew.According to Wahcow, the lean charsiew from Meng Kee tasted as ordinary as the Charsiew ... read more

From today he'll no longer be managing a staff, just himself and a couple of cameras. Scary, but exciting. A big change, but change is good. What does this mean for EatingAsia? Not much, initially. We're in the throes of annoyingly time-consuming transition-related tasks. But once we've settled into a new routine we may tinker. I'd like to write more ingredient-focused ... read more

Shredded chicken, fried anchovies, century egg, salted egg and parsley.Thanks to the two sisters, Mrs Ang and Mrs Tan (they are really sisters whose face are so alike) who faithfully prepare this for us year after year.

Saigon Sup Cua

Malaysia

Robyn Eckhardt writes: Christmas came and went without much notice around here. We're preoccupied with a number of other things at the moment, and honestly we've never cottoned to Christmas in Asia, with its somewhat soulless consumerist frenzy that rivals anything in the US (Philippines excepted - there, in spite of the heat, Christmas does feel like Christmas). Besides, we're half still in Vietnam, mentally at least. Today we're thinking of Saigon (though we're not done with Hoi An yet) and a simple but utterly delicious concoction dished up by a vendor at Tanh Din Market (just off Hai Ba Trung Street). We noticed this woman when we were there last ... read more
