CHEF in 86-year-old restaurant | Instant food eaten immediately Chef Gra...

One of Singapore's most talked-about dining spots has no signs. The door, on the ground floor of a 1960s apartment complex, is marked simply with red bunting and small paper banners covered in Chinese characters. Tinoq Russell Goh, the chef at 1CattynAPinch, often called Tinoq’s, answers the door sporting a fuchsia apron and a shock of bright canary-yellow hair. The tiny room behind him is just as vibrant: Flowery pink and blue fabric covers one wall, an assortment of painted enamel plates decorates another, and paper lanterns hang from the ceiling.
This is the front room of Goh’s apartment, a space that was once his living room but has now been transformed into a private kitchen, one of dozens of in-home eateries that have popped up in Singapore over the past five years. A well-known makeup artist and stylist by day, Goh and his partner, Dylan Chan, spend two evenings per week cooking for friends, acquaintances, and an increasing number of customers and local celebrities who have heard about their unofficial restaurant through word of mouth. While private kitchens have been popular in other Asian cities for over a decade, Singapore’s versions only opened recently, thanks to guidelines that allow cooks to serve food prepared in their homes. Today, there are dozens of these “home dine-ins” (as some call them), which allow families or groups of friends to enjoy a private meal in a variety of residences all over the island.

It's amazing to catch a lot of fish traps and cook delicious food

Simple yet packed with delicious flavours, Khao Man Gai is a soul-soothing treat.
The chicken is braised with sugar, spices and then these tender, ungarnished pieces of meat are served with steamed rice, Chinese broccoli and chili sauce. You can also try Khao Kha Moo, which is basically steamed pork with rice. It tastes just as good, and the meat is simmered for hours to let all the spices soak in. This is a simple dish that is light and delicious
