Egg tart is a simple kind of pastry which is popular particularly among the Chinese community. The better known Egg tart is either Hong Kong style or Portuguese Style.
Egg tart is a evolution from the western custard tart. Custard tarts appear in Hon Kong’s “Cha Chan Teng” (Café) in the 1940s to compete with western bakeries and was slowly changed into the egg tart recipe. Though Hong Kong style egg tart has 2 kinds: The Shortcrust and Puff Pastry; the shortcrust is more popular. Portuguese egg tart on the other hand shows caramelize custard fashion.
All Singaporeans should be very familiar with Mee Siam.
Mee Siam as its name shows originated from Siamese… Siamese are people from Thailand.
Rice vermicelli cooked in spicy, sweet and sour gravy. Mee Siam can come in wet or dry. Personally I like the Wet Mee Siam better, more soothing to my throat.
Never once did Chef Chan fail to show how skillful he can be.

Merry Christmas! Hohoho!
Today will be the last entry of the Christmas Specials.
Above are some Agar Agar by Instructor Yeo Lili.
We hope that you have enjoyed browsing at the various photos of many instructors and chefs.
Today, we are looking at various Yule Log cakes that were made by Chef Barry Yeo in the previous years. Have you ever wonder why Yule Log seems to be so important during Christmas? It is like, if there is no log cake, it doesn’t feel like Christmas anymore.
In fact, traditionally, Christmas is celebrated not using Yule Log Cake but a real Yule Log. During the Christmas Eve, the head of the household will lit the Yule log on fire and must by all means keep the flame burning for 12 hours. It is believed to be able to protect the house and be kept away from the devil. It was later then; Christmas became celebrated with a cake – like – log instead of a real log.
Alright… Very Soon, Chinese New Year will be coming and I was thinking what kind of food to prepare for CNY. Then, here comes the great part. Salute to Instructor Yeo Lili, I would not have thought of this idea. And that is to make the Longevity noodles using Agar Agar. I think the kids would be most fascinated by this.
