Love for Local

When we talk about hawker food, what do we most love to eat? These dishes won the team’s votes and then we asked Chef Ambrose Poh, of Allspice Institute cooking school, to share the recipes with us. Allspice Institute offers cooking classes as well as teambuilding sessions, and we’ve had our Domestic Diva Masterclasses at the school, too. A Peranakan, Chef Ambrose has cooked for dignitaries and royalty, so you know these dishes are going to be scrumptious. You can use your SkillsFuture credits to widen your cooking repertoire.
