Food Festivals Assignment By Kiat Soon

HI, I am Kiat Soon from 3n1. The above pictures which I went to The Central food court at Clarke Quay on 24 July, Friday. The store is Hainanese Chicken Rice, is a dish of chinese origin most commonly associated with Malaysian cuisine or Singaporean cuisine, although it is also commonly sold in neighbouring Thailand, found in Hainan, China itself.

The prevalance of stalls selling Hainanese chicken rice as their primary specialty in Singapore underscores the dish's unrivalled popularity amongst Singaporeans and overseas visitors. Hainanese chicken rice is often considered as the national dish of Singapore, and is often served at international expositions and global events aboard.

The ingredients for making the Hainanese chicken rice is:
1 (2-pound) chicken.
1 scallion, cut into 1 inch pieces.
4 slices fresh, peeled ginger.
6 tbsp vegetable oil or chicken oil rendered from chicken fat.
6 to 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
4 cups long-grain uncooked rice, washed and drained.
1 tsp fine salt.

It cost me $4 with the egg that I additional ordered. It was worth the price as the chicken is so tender and chewy. They served the amount of correct proportion. The rice also has a special smell different from others. For a rating for this stall Hainanese Chicken Rice I will give a rating of 9/10. So those whom like Hainanese Chicken Rice I encourage come here and try it! The atmosphere here, which I can see the Singapore River which is really cool!

And on Today 25 July I went to Marina Square food court, had their Fried Black Carrot Cake which costed me $4. Chai Tao Kway-Carrot Cake is a common dish or dim sum of Teochew cuisine in Chaoshan(China), Singapore and Malaysia. It is also known as fried carrot cake or simply carrot cake in Southeast Asian countries, one of its main ingredients, which is carrot.

It is made of rice flour and white radish. In Malaysia this is often served in large rectangular slabs which are steamed and then later fried whole. In Singapore, however, it is more commonly cut into pieces and stir fried with soy sauce, eggs, garlic, spring onion nd occasionally dried shrimp. There are two variants, the 'white' version does not use sweet soy sauce and the carrot cake is fried on top of a beaten egg to form a crust, the 'black' version uses sweet soy sauce, and the egg is simply mixed in with the carrot cake.

The ingredients for making the Fried Carrot Cake is:
4 radish flour cakes.
4 tbs vegetable oil or lard.
1 tbs chopped garlic.
1 tbs red chilli paste.
1 tbs chopped chye poh (salted radish).
2 eggs.
1 tbs fish sauce.
1 stalk fresh spring onion, chopped.
5 tbs oil.

The taste of this carrot cake its not that good I still prefer the one near my house as this store carrot cake has not much taste-tasteless. But I still like the egg part which is nicer. So those who are willing to pay a price for the egg part can come here and try it. So for a stall like this I think I will give it a rating of 6/10. Because of the atmosphere here, which I can see the Esplanade, Integrated Resort and many others scenery.
