Earlier this year I worked on a fun project developing a dish with Malcolm Lee from one Michelin-starred Singaporean restaurant, Candlenut.

Our task was to develop a recipe that captured the spirit of Singapore. Drawing from my Hainanese background and Malcolm's Peranakan family influence, we developed this Hainanese-Peranakan chicken rice with richly fragrant stock, poached chicken, crab fat chilli, black nut sambal, pineapple achar and crab and chicken meatballs in soup.

The dish was served at a collaboration dinner held simultaneously in Singapore and Sydney last month, where diners in each city were linked by real-time video and audio across a single table so they could see and chat to each other despite being thousands of kilometres apart. It was an amazing event.

The recipe is a little complicated, but if you want to have a go you can follow the link here:
