New York Licks Lips Over Singapore Takeout

New Yorkers love their food and this weekend some of the lucky ones got a taste of Singapore on their own own block. The travelling pop-up kitchen Singapore Takeout set up in the Big Apple offering tempting Singaporean cuisine to New York folk.

Visitors to the kitchen could sample classic food from Singapore including pork buns, laksa, short ribs buah keluak. The dishes were all cooked up by Malcolm Lee, top chef from Candlenut Kitchen who specialises in Peranakan food.

The food drew interest from some of New York's top chefs including Anthony Ricco, Dominique Ansel and even Ed Cotton. Ed Cotton might down the line feature Singaporean dishes on his TV show Top Chef. Ed Cotton said:

"I was able to spend a fair amount of time in Singapore and learning about the actual foods and the culture and everything. One of my chief favourite dishes is chilli crab, along with this noodle dish that I had - char kway teow. I'm gonna replicate that dish and turn that into a ravioli."
