DabbaDrop x Shu Han Lee. A Taste of Singapore

This week’s menu is created in collaboration with chef and author Shu Han Lee, inspired by the bold, intuitive cooking style she writes about in Agak Agak. Singaporean cooking draws from many traditions across Southeast Asia, building flavour through spice pastes, fermented sauces and fragrant herbs.

The menu begins with hispi cabbage and baby corn, charred hard in the pan and finished with a rich oyster mushroom sauce.

Roast pumpkin masak lemak follows. Pumpkin roasted until soft, then folded into a coconut curry scented with turmeric and lemongrass.

Alongside it sits tofu with salted black beans and broccoli. The fermented beans bring deep savoury flavour, balanced with ginger, garlic and tender greens.

Everything is served with pandan rice, lightly scented so the aroma runs through the whole plate.

A menu built around the bright, layered flavours that define Singapore’s everyday cooking.
