Singapore is serving up an online live masterclass with Filipino chef and restaurateur Margarita Forés together with chef Ming Tan of Singapore. “2Fast, 2Delicious: Hokks and Clay” at 7 p.m., Aug. 22, will have the two chefs preparing two classic Singaporean dishes, Hokkien mee and claypot rice.
The noodle dish Hokkien mee is a favorite made with fragrant stock, prawns, meat, clams and dried fish. Claypot rice is a rice casserole cooked over live coals; Singaporeans love it for its trademark crispiness.
The masterclass is part of a series of online activities held by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), as part of the annual Singapore Food Festival from Aug. 21 to 30.
“The STB’s online master classes shine the spotlight on the talents and dishes of Singapore’s dining scene,” said Ruby Liu, STB area director for Philippines. “We invite foodies around the world to rediscover Singaporean cuisine with us through this fun and entertaining format. The session on Saturday is specially curated for Filipino foodies and we hope that the session will allow Filipino foodies to enjoy Singaporean cuisine from the comfort and safety of their own homes.”
Other master classes are “Holy Crab: Supper Treats,” Aug. 21, 9:30 p.m., and “The Unusually Singaporean Cocktail Masterclass,” Aug. 22, 4:30 p.m.
