Singaporeans love our spices and we love to cook many things using these various spices, chillies and condiments available locally and regionally. Given that we live in a tropical and warm country, this aspect of our eating habit never fails to interest me because what we need are food that cools our bodies and minds, but instead, we love our spices and hot chilli padis so much we add it into almost every single dish we eat on a daily basis – rice, noodles, vegetables, stir-fries, seafood, stews – you name it, we have it.
