Humble Japanese, trying to de-mystify Singapore cuisine and food culture. This is not a restaurant / stall rating blog.

Steamed Minced Pork w/Salted Fish 鹹魚蒸肉餅
Salted Fish or Ham Yu is one of the ingredients that's really nothing alone but when combined with ingredients like pork or veggies, it is absolutely divine. My brother-in-law who is a Taiwanese gave me this precious ingredient (brought them from Hong Kong) and so, I cooked one of my favorite Cantonese dish (not necessarily a Singaporean dish...). Roughly ground pork with cubed pork fat, minced ginger, corn starch, Chinese sake, white pepper, salt, light soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. Top this off with ham yu and it's ready for a steamer. Steaming at a slightly low temperature of 80 degrees for 15 minutes. Top with julienned ginger and wow, I could eat tons of bowls of rice with this! I will try claypot rice and sauteed veggie next time.
I first discovered this Cantonese dish at a fabulous and legendary cze char restaurant on Joo Chiat Rd. called Joo Heng. They are known for a Cantonese cze char but some of the things are intrinsically Singaporean. Sambal Belacan is always on the table and their sambal stir fried stuff is absolutely my fav.
