“Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments”- Bethenny Frankel.
Ever walked the animated dazzling Clarke Quay in Singapore and not noticed food? Impossible, isn’t it? Well, that’s because Singapore loves food and food loves Singapore. The versatility of the food is mind boggling, reflecting the importance of the food culture and the many nationalities that live there. All over the world food has emerged as a driver for change in health and nutrition and lifestyle habits. We at Esseplore have taken the lead to emerge as a pioneer in changing food practices. We want to change the way you eat. We want to dish what you relish. Today, in the conversation are 3 dishes that Singapore has made its own. These dishes rule our menus. Whether it’s blasted in nutrition, baked to perfection or bundled with the umami flavour, these dishes are to die for.
Gyudon
This dish is originally a beef hot pot originating from the Kanto region of eastern Japan. Initially cooked with Welsh onions and miso, the Gyudon has evolved with several variations made to the recipe since the 1800s. In the aftermath of the Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Gyudon transcended class boundaries to receive Gourmet status.
At Esseplore, it is Gourmet at its finest. Naturally, packed with umami, this is a Classic Japanese comfort food made to perfection with a short plate of beef simmered with onions. It’s a popular dish with house-made seasoning of light & dark soya sauce and oyster sauce. This combination gives it a savoury-sweet taste that is luscious. It is no wonder that Singaporeans love this dish.
