Indulge in some of the best pork dishes Taiwan and Singapore have to offer with a Hakka stir-fry and a Peranakan pork stew. Discover these local delicacies and explore more about the family ties behind these dishes.
One of the most popular meats on the menu, pork brings people together, and the dishes our hosts try in this episode are no exception. They kick off their journey in Singapore with a traditional Peranakan pork stew, babi buah keluak, a traditional dish made with the unique ingredient, black nut. Local chef Daniel Chua takes us through the preparation process for this distinctive dish as our hosts learn more about the history of this cuisine. Then our hosts discover more about Hakka cuisine as they travel to Beitou, Taiwan, to taste a family recipe for pork stir-fry. Finally, they round out their tasty trip with a reimagined Hakka stir-fry from talented chef Philip Lu.
Hosted by Andrew Chau and Yasminne Cheng, Double Yummy explores how one ingredient can be transformed into two wildly different culinary icons — one from Singapore, one from Taiwan.
