Book excerpt: Hawker food plays a key role in the culinary scene in Singapore: where the best or latest hawker dishes are to be found is a pet topic in conversations among family and friends; there is also a Michelin food guide featuring Singapore’s best hawker food. Despite this, not many people know how to prepare these much-loved dishes for themselves. Wanting simply to inspire others to cook and to prove that cooking can be easy and fun, the MeatMen share their take on 30 all-time hawker favourites, from bak chor mee and chai tow kway to sambal stingray and BBQ chicken wings, in this inaugural MeatMen Cooking Channel cookbook. With no need for fancy tools, equipment or even special skills to put these dishes together, all you need is a passion for good food!
