Grilled red pepper wrapped with Mahón cheese

Taking its name from the Spanish island of Minorca, Mahon cheese is a soft to hard white cheese produced from cow’s milk, and its rind goes perfectly with oil or paprika. Here, the peppers are marinated in garlic-olive oil for a richer Mediterranean-inspired flavour. Serve this as an antipasto platter.

Tomato bruschetta with anchovies and basil

Vegetarians will appreciate these meaty mushrooms, marinated in balsamic vinegar, chilli powder, sherry and herbs for a tangy and spicy touch.

Lobster roll

If you can’t get enough of lobster, here’s five ways to savour the undisputed king of crustaceans.

Summer-weight erwtensoep (pea-soup) with crispy parma ham

Bamboo shoot soup with beancurd & meat strips

Get acquainted with the length and breadth of China’s regional specialities. This recipe for a light, refreshing broth will bring you a step closer to understanding the wondrous complexity of Chinese cuisine.

Bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls)

Reminiscent of chee cheong fun, our local version of rice flour rolls, these burst at the seams with minced pork and wood ear fungus, seasoned with just a splash of umami-rich fish sauce. The translucent skins are usually delicately steamed over a fabric covered pot but can also be made in a non-stick pan. They won’t be as thin, but they’ll do a better job of encasing the generous filling without tearing.

Banana blossom salad

Shaped like a teardrop, the bright pink-purple-hued banana blossom (also known as a banana heart or inflorescence, the flower located at the end of a banana fruit cluster) looks deceptively like a large artichoke. The blossom is commonly found in many Southeast Asian kitchens, and can be use variedly in different dishes.

Ba bin (baked tapioca cake)

A delightful end to any Thai-inspired meal, these baked tapioca cakes are great for entertaining or to satisfy the occasional afternoon craving.

Aged rum mojito rack of lamb

We’ve brought our A game to the dining table. Think magnificent lamb racks, hulking Porterhouse steaks, glistening pork chops and bacon (but of course) spiked in whisky, bourbon and rum. Eat up, drink up.
