Description

The unique quality of Singapore cuisine makes it among the most favoured in the world. It gleans the best culinary styles from neighbouring countries to produce a distinctive Singaporean flavour. The Best of Singapore Cooking, with more than 300 time-tested recipes ranging from Chicken Rice and Char Kway Teow to Roti Jala, was compiled by Mrs. Leong Yee Soo, acknowledged culinary matriarch who enjoyed the formidable reputation of being the foremost authority on Singapore food. Published in response to overwhelming demand for her recipes, this book is a fine testimony to her culinary skills. Twenty sections highlight, among others, top choices of home staples, sumptuous desserts, hawker favourites, Nonya kuih and specialties. In addition, "Special Combinations" provides a guide to menus of dishes traditionally served together, as in Nasi Padang. The Best of Singapore Cooking features easy to follow recipes with clearly written step-by-step instructions, helpful hints and useful guidelines to cooking. This book makes an ideal gift and is an absolute must-have for lovers of Singapore food.

Foreword
Mrs Leong Yee Soo belonged to the generation of Straits 'nonyas' to whom good cuisine is an article of faith and a personal challenge.
Having spent the major part of her life in thinking, talking, experimenting and teaching food preparation, Mrs Leong felt that she could contribute nothing better to society than to pass on the results of her research and experience. She did regret that the fine art of cooking is fast dying out with women taking up jobs and with instant foods, frozen dinners, snack bars and take- aways so much in evidence.
Realising the role of woman in this nuclear age, Mrs Leong planned her meals with a keen eye on the cost and quality of ingredients, time in preparation, calorie content, food value, etc. She also summoned to her aid modern kitchen equiptment and had so simplified her procedure that dabbling in the kitchen can be a source of fun.
The recipes will speak for themselves. There are household staples that have fortified the Oriental home for generations, meals for large and small groups, young and old, in and out of doors, titbits, snatched meals and feasts for special occasions.
I would recommend this book of tested recipes for every kitchen shelf, for not only is wholesome food conducive to health and happiness, but, like mother s cooking , it will be affectionately remembered and will go a long way towards fostering goodwill and happy relationships.
Mrs Goh Kok Kee J.P., M.B.E.
