I always feel that traditions should not be lost, including traditional dialect food. Hence I was really happy to have found some representative teochew food here at swatow.

This platter was made up of 3 traditional teochew sides. The most special one was the Teochew Chilled Sliced Braised Pig's Head (猪头粽) which I believe is the only restaurant that serves this in Singapore. I had previously eaten in Shantou, China, and was pleasantly surprised to see it here. Despite it's name, it's not made from the pig's head. It's actually made from specially selected pork, braised with spices, and pressed into a block before slicing. Not too salty.

Then there's the chilled jelly pork knuckles (猪脚冻) made from braised pig's leg into jelly form. The ones served here are not as plasticky as some served elsewhere. Rich in collagen but not my kind of thing.

Finally, the tender braised duck meat served with braised bean curd was worth trying too.
