Tried this National Day SouperChef specials instead as Chicken Wild Rice Lo Mai Kai was not available:(
This recipe was inspired by the traditional Peranakan sayur lodeh. Creativity juices had pineapple chunks added for a dose of tang, cheddar and cream cheese for a taste of umami and a silky texture. Instead of ketupat, Korean rice cake was used to thicken up the broth for a more filling meal.
Personally, i found the taste of the soup a little underwhelming as there was no coconut aroma which was pretty much a must in any curry or Peranakan dish. Not too sure whether coconut cream was part of the recipe as there was no hint of it and yet, it was an ingredient mentioned.
As for the Korean rice cake, i wasn’t the biggest fan of it as having it semi melted in the soup and hence, no bite to it was a miss for me.
However, I enjoyed my flatbread of masala chicken with aioli very much and I guess that it was the only saving grace for the meal:(
