Chan Hom Meng: A high-quality Restaurant

 Chan Hom Meng: A high-quality Restaurant

Indeed, there are so many restaurants in Singapore. Approximately, there are over 6000 stalls and restaurants operate just like the Chan Hom Meng. However, there is a great difference when it comes to quality and the prices. Just about a week ago, while I was wondering where to dine, I could see a lot of restaurants also known as Hawker Stalls’ and I was surely spoilt for choice. Thanks to the guide that I found online and it gave me what I was just looking for.

Amazingly, when I just read about Chan Hom Meng a restaurant that received the Michelin Star, I was so curious to have a taste of their prestigious meals. Actually, I found it a fantastic place. With fine quality meals, competitive or half-price with no compromise in quality, variety, and utmost excellent service, I really recommend Chan Hom Meng for everyone.

What about the Michelin Star?

Perhaps you are hearing this for the first time. Just like me, I didn’t know what this meant and I had to do some little research before I could make my decision. In this case, I found that, with over 6000 food stalls and restaurants in Singapore, only two have been awarded the Michelin star. One being the Chan Hom Meng.

The mention of Michelin Star made me curious and I found out that, there are so many factors that are considered by the Michelin Guide before they can award a star to any restaurant in the world. In this case, let me share the facts:

· Chan Hom Meng has got the best staff. The chefs of this amazing restaurant are well trained, competent and are very much experienced.

· The restaurant prices are just unbelievable. Imagine I used only $2 for a whole plate of rice and soya sauce chicken not to mention the prices of drinks and other food types.

· Excellent customer care experience. This is what I witnessed. Just as I entered, I was given a warm welcome by one of the waiters and in no time, I was busy dining.

· Great variety for choice. Chan Hom Meng offers a lot of variety ranging from chicken, soya, and rice among other foods. In addition, different brands of drinks are also available at competitive prices.

In conclusion, with that in mind, you have to arrange a visit yourself and check to prove the same for yourself. Of course, you will have the best experience that you have never had in any other restaurant anywhere.

Cape Town – Royale Eatery

This restaurant gave me the best burger in the world written by: Dongre I don’t know about you, but I think that burgers are the ultimate comfort food. I thought I’d had the best burgers that exist in the world today, until I came across Royale Eatery during my last visit to Cape Town in South Africa. The whole menu made my mouth water but I wanted to have a burger. My burger of choice- is called El Burro, and is considered to be a favorite among patrons. I couldn’t think of a more clichéd way to say this, but this dish is the best dish I’ve ever had, hands down!

 
My friend and I went to Royale Eatery on a Saturday night, as part of our date-night ritual to grab something to eat and try something new together. When we arrived there, I could smell the warm, flavorful aromas of real, tantalizing meat on the grill. The crowd and the atmosphere there was so laid back and relaxed. Bonus points to the staff there, who made us feel like we were their welcomed guests.

 

There is a booming culture of burger-eating in South Africa. As you know, there are burgers, and then, there are burgers! As a first try, I ordered El Burro, which was a 160-gram beef patty blended with chorizo, chilies and coriander. On top, it had mozzarella cheese, roast tomato salsa, smoked jalapenos and guacamole. I just loved all of those flavors together! I took one bite and it was like I died and went to heaven. A glass of red wine gave my evening the finishing touch.

 
This place had a charming and old-fashioned feel to it, and I was in awe of their choice of décor for each room, including collections of hats and musical instruments on the wall. Date-night didn’t feel so monotonous after all. It was quirky, and sometimes you just want to have a really good meal with the ones you love. It was one of the most relaxing evenings I’ve had in such a long time and I am just itching to go there again!

How To Make Delicious ‘Macarons’

There are two methods to making a Macaron – the “French” method and the “Italian” method. The difference between the two is the way the meringue is made – either Italian or French meringue can be combined with ground almonds.

A Macaron is made by combining icing sugar and ground almonds until fine. In a separate bowl, egg whites that are beaten until a meringue-like texture. The two elements are then folded together until they are the consistency of “shaving foam”, and then are piped, left to form a skin, and baked.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 egg whites
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp pink food colouring
  • 125g ground almonds
  • 225g icing sugar
  • A pinch salt
  • 12 tbsp raspberry conserve
  • 100ml cream

 

BAKING METHOD

1. Heat the oven to 160˚C and line a baking tray
with baking paper.
2. Attach the whisk and add the egg whites,
caster sugar and food colouring. Whisk on a
high speed until you have stiff peaks.
3. Remove the whisk and attach the creaming
beater. Slowly fold in the ground almond,
icing sugar and salt on a low speed. Mix
until smooth and syrupy then scrape into a
piping bag.
4. Pipe 3cm discs of the mixture onto the tray,
leaving a couple of centimetres between each
one. Tap the tray hard on the work surface to
help prevent the tops cracking and bake for
about 20 minutes or until they come away
easily from the paper.
5. Leave to cool.
6. Add the cream to the bowl and attach
the whisk. Whisk until you have soft peaks.
Remove the whisk and add the creaming
beater, add the jam and mix until combined.
7.  Sandwich the macarons together with the
jam mix and serve.

 

Bon Appétit,
