I know this is crazy but I don’t actually eat Kway Chap! I’m not really an offal person and I don’t know how to enjoy it. But my family and so many of my friends love it SO much so this is for them! For me, Kway Chap will always remind me of my 3rd Uncle. I remember many years ago, we had a big family gathering and we all met up to eat….My uncle would always organise dinners at the yummiest Zi Char places. So in my head, I was already salivating at the thought of yam rings, cereal prawns and what not. But then we turned up at dinner and it was at this famous Kway Chap place! So imagine my horror when I realised I had no other things to eat. HAHAHA. Lucky I found the flat noodles super yummy so I think I had 3 bowls of that straight up - And I was only 10!

Having grown up in Singapore, I often think of my childhood and reminisce about all the wonderful memories eating out at hawker centres back home… the newspaper seller at my neighbourhood whampoa market, the koel bird, the cool breeze in the early evenings, the sound of ingredients being tossed in woks and the giant flames. The aunties and uncles going ‘来！找钱！’ The ringing of bicycle bells, the ah pek clearing his throat… all so insignificant sounding but when put together, they form a core memory in my heart. A memory of home.

Oh what I would give to have a whiff of the aroma and taste of the different foods of which I so love and dearly miss! Growing up in Southeast Asia, food will always be a part of me. No matter where I go, what I’ve eaten, hawker food will always have my heart…. to celebrate, I’ve created a special Kopitiam 88 Series and I hope the pieces in it bring you joy and think of home too.
