Japan Rice and Rice Industry Export Promotion Association Collaborates with Hawkers for an Exciting Showcase of Local Heritage Food Using Japanese Rice
- Written by Media Outreach
Three of the four participating stalls are tenants at Rasapura Masters. Rasapura means "City of Taste", and this food enclave showcases a variety of local and Asian cuisines. It symbolises Singapore's spirit of being a trading hub to many countries as it is strategically located along the world's major trade route. The participating stalls are as follows:
- Da Yan Chinese Cuisine (Rasapura Masters): Beginning in 2015 with a flagship store at Punggol Plaza, Da Yan Chinese Cuisine is best known for its signature claypot offerings. Look forward to the Claypot Century Egg with Minced Meat Porridge (S$8.80), now with a Japanese flair! The Niigata Yukinkomai is paired with well-marinated pork and an earthy century egg. It holds up remarkably well when cooked over high heat, and some of the grains on the bottommost layer take on a delightful crisp.
- Ju Fu Bak Kut Teh (Rasapura Masters): The stall regales gourmands with Klang bak kut teh, which has a history that spans over 70 years. The soup boasts a fragrant herbal flavour with hints of garlic and pepper. Taking several hours to cook, the soup is nourishing and offers many health benefits. The Niigata Yukinkomai lends a slight sweetness that plays foil to the soup's savoury punch. The stall will be offering Assorted Bak Kut Teh w/ Rice (S$11.80) and Gong Bao Diced Chicken w/Rice (S$15.80).
- Ipoh Bean Sprout & Steamed Chicken (Rasapura Masters): Ipoh's bean sprouts are known to be plump and crispy, thanks to the region's mineral-rich spring water. Circa the 1950s and 1960s, local vendors in Ipoh began blanching bean sprouts and mixing them with chicken sauce and soy sauce. Ipoh Bean Sprout & Steamed Chicken keeps this time-honoured tradition alive with its offerings. For the showcase, the stall will use Niigata Yukinkomai in three dishes: Roasted Chicken Rice ($11.90), Steamed Chicken Rice ($11.90) and Kampong Chicken Rice ($13.90).
- Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck & Kway Chap (Chinatown Complex #02-156): First incepted in 1980, the stall is currently owned by second-generation hawker Melvin Chew, who was responsible for setting up the Hawkers United Facebook group during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stall is whipping up a special Duck Rice Donburi (S$7.00), which comes with its signature braised duck and the fluffy Japanese rice.
Supported by JRE that plans the promotion of overseas exports of Japanese rice and rice products. It has a network of Japanese rice, sake and rice confectionery manufacturers.
