Ive been a huge Peranakan food fan from when I had my first meal years ago. In Singapore I went to Daisys Dream Kitchen, an amazing Peranakan restaurant. More details: Daisys Dream Kitchen is a small family run restaurant in the Clementi area of Singapore. The restaurant not only serves amazing food, but it also has a unique story. Daisy, who is the principle cook and owner, loved to cook for her family and friends. Her family loved her cooking and it was her dream to eventually open a restaurant. But she started off at a food court, and sold just a few minimum Peranakan dishes. Eventually they opened a full restaurant called Daisys Dream Kitchen. The passion of service and hospitality, paired with delicious food, is what made it such a good experiences to eat there. Lets just quickly talk about Peranakan food. Peranakans are Straits born Chinese - so Chinese descendants born someone along the straits of Malacca in Malaysia, Singapore, and a few in southern Thailand. They are known for adapting and sometimes intermarrying with the local Malay population, and so the food reflects a unique blend of both Chinese and Malay, and its an amazing combination. When Ying and I ate at Daisys Dream Kitchen, they brought us out a selection of some of their most popular signature dishes, and we had an absolute feast of a meal including stink beans with anchovies, a fried fish with sambal, ngo hiang, a meatball soup, and the dish that I had for the very first time, buah keluak - and one of the restaurant specialities. The nut thats the main part of this dish, is buried for about 11 days, they cooked, and then prepared. I think the nut was emptied out and mixed with some minced meat, and then cooked in a curry. It was so unique and so delicious - it kind of tasted like chocolate cake and rye bread within a curry. Daisys Dream Kitchen is a great place to eat Peranakan food in Singapore. I had met Ray, the son of Daisy while I was in Bangkok, and they invited me to eat at their family restaurant. I didnt pay for our food, as the family was very kind, but this is not a sponsored video. Daisys Dream Kitchen Address: Block 517 West Coast Road #01-571 S120517, Singapore 120517 Open hours: 11 am 2: 30 pm and 6 pm 10 pm on Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Mondays) Prices: Most dishes range from 10 15 SGD How to get there: I took the MRT to Clementi station and it was about a 15 minute walk from there. Or alternatively take a taxi or bus from the station

Mark eat anything and have you thinking its good, then if it's something he don't care for he dump a bunch of chilies on it. Lmao, gotta love him. I watch his videos everyday. He should be on T V. He make me run home from dialysis and cook the spiciest stuff I could think of. I had lost my best friend last April and I had stop eating and had become unhealthy cause I couldn't eat and I kept getting sick not realizing it. God sent me Mark and I have been eating and cooking and gained my weight back and I am very healthy now. Thank You God for Mark and his family and friends, So pleasant to watch him and thanks for bringing food back to my life. Little things matter good people. AKA I love Spicey.

Every Peranakan family has their own unique spin to the main recipes, that's where the magic is. Though, the sad fact is that these recipes are extremely labour intensive and that there are no proper written versions of ingredient amounts and all. My family members learned how to prepare these dishes by observing their grandmothers prepared them. I love my heritage and I enjoy cooking, but these recipes are waaaaay too involved.

Mark your videos are great but you already know that. Anyways, just wanted to say I really feel sorry for Ying. She has to shoot the video and endure and fight the urge and temptation to dig in. I mean as I am watching any of your videos I could barely control myself. I literally need to prep myself with a meditation first I could only imagine what Ying has go through. Poor Ying hope you guys can enjoy a meal together someday.

for the most part the food in singapore is mainly pre-cooked and processed in a central kitchen or from a food and condiments supplier, especially those chain outlets and foodcourts, even hawkers and coffeeshops also becoming like that already. so we need more of these such eateries that buys fresh ingredients and cooks them like a family meal

The nut has to be knocked to take out the filling, hence the 'heart shape' because the top part has been chipped off. The flesh of the nut has to be taken out, blended or mashed and placed back in again. It is too difficult to eat the nut as is. Sometimes people blend the nut flesh with some pork or prawns before replacing it in the nut shell.

Hi Mark, My 3 year old son loves to see your videos every night and if at all i forget to show him the videos, he says ' Pappa please put the 'hmmm' tasty videos and he loves the expression you make after tsting the food 'hmmm. '. Thanks for your efforts and keep making more videos. Lots of wishes from Indians in Germany
