... Read moreDining on a traditional Teochew dinner set is a wonderful way to explore the subtle yet rich flavors characteristic of this regional Chinese cuisine. Starting with a cold platter appetiser provides a refreshing balance to the meal, often including a variety of textures and mild flavors to awaken the palate. The shark fin soup remains an iconic dish in many Teochew meals, known for its silky texture and delicate taste. While enjoying this, I found the broth to be aromatic and comforting, a highlight that complements the other dishes beautifully. The stir fry garlic prawn and broccoli is a perfect example of Teochew cooking's emphasis on freshness and simplicity. The prawns are succulent and infused with the fragrant aroma of garlic, perfectly paired with crisp broccoli to add a nutritious component. Steamed soon hock is a classic fish dish that showcases the clean and light cooking techniques central to Teochew cuisine. Its tender, flaky texture absorbs light soy sauce and garnishes, creating a delightful and healthy main course. The braised herbal chicken introduces a soothing herbal element, rich in aroma and earthy flavors. It's a comforting dish that also reflects the regional style of slow cooking to enhance depth and tenderness. To complete the meal, mushroom and spinach offer a mild and nutritious side that helps balance the more intense flavors of other dishes. This set offers a harmonious combination of tastes and textures that truly represents the essence of Teochew cooking. Enjoying this dinner at Newton, Singapore, also provides a lovely ambiance, making it a memorable dining experience for anyone interested in authentic Chinese cuisine.
