SouperChef Anna’s Message | World in One Kitchen: Taiwan Chronicles When we made our first franchise foray into Taipei back in 2019, I also left a piece of my heart there. I’ve made lifelong friendships, became the beneficiary of her incredibly warm hospitality. And oh, this is a city that loves to eat, knows how […]

SouperChef Special | Nourishing Sesame Chicken Stew (Contains Chicken | Contains Gluten | Dairy-Free) To say street foods underpin Taiwan’s culture and diet would be an understatement. Walk into any night market and you will feel a prevailing sense of structure. Each stall has its own fans. Each stall touts to be “authentic” or “old-time”. […]

SouperChef Special | Chiayi-style Barramundi Casserole (TSSXKuhlbarra) (Fish* | Contains Gluten | Dairy-Free | Slightly Spicy) *May contain fine bones Who else binge-watched Netflix’s Street Food series? Taiwan unsurprisingly was featured in the first season! To be honest, I was expecting the usual Taiwanese culinary tropes of night market street foods, not an entire episode […]

SouperChef Special | Taiwanese-style Braised Beef Stew Beef | Contains Gluten | Dairy-free | Slightly Spicy Small eats are the big thing in Taiwan, especially beef noodles. Some call it the national dish, some say you haven’t been to Taiwan if you haven’t tried this representative delicacy of Taiwan! Well, you know how beloved it […]

Buttery Tikka Masala Meat-free | Gluten-Free | Contains Dairy | Contains Egg  I love stopping by the convenience stores in New Zealand! The butter masala chicken pie was popular, perhaps a testament to their Indian migrant community. Here’s my “soupified” memory of NZ’s melting pot of cultures—a creamy, tomato curry with chickpeas, sweet potatoes, warming […]

Bhutanese Beef with Radish and Mushroom Stew (Contains Beef | Gluten-Free | Slightly Spicy) I’ll always remember my first lunch in wintry Thimphu. That luscious taste of the beef broth and its lingering warmth! I recreated the dish with white radish, mushrooms, green chillies, cellophane noodles and thingey, a tingly Bhutanese black pepper. Enjoy it […]

Tom Yum Style Scallop Bits-que (Seafood | Contains Dairy | Gluten-Free | Spicy)   Think Thailand, think heat. It’s hard to imagine how a country that is very much swathed in thick humidity and year-round warmth loves its chillies and hot spices so much! I’m in this odd food spell too. Every time I’m in […]

Buttery Tikka Masala Meat-free | Gluten-Free | Contains Dairy | Contains Egg    We were on the road a lot in New Zealand and one of the perks was stopping by the many convenient stores and petrol stations to check out what they offer! I realised that pies are a staple for the Kiwis! Almost […]

Bhutanese Beef with Radish and Mushroom Stew (Contains Beef | *Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free | Slightly Spicy) *Please note that condiment for this soup contains dairy. Our very first lunch in Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, was a buffet spread at a modest restaurant. One of the dishes we were served was a beef broth […]

Japanese Vegan Sweet Potato Curry (Vegan | Contains Gluten | Dairy-Free | Spicy) Comfort food means different things for different people. For some, it’s a big bowl of noodles. For others, it’s ice cream with chocolate sauce. I asked Junko-san, the lead host for our trip to Japan, what her comfort food is, what she […]
