Heinz (Singapore) Tomato Ketchup Blended with Balsamic Vinegar

ABBEY: I don't like the taste of tomato ketchup as it was too sour for me when I was a child. Maybe because I was just used to dip my fries or chicken in banana ketchup. It is also "part" of the sauce recipe of spaghetti in Philippines. Some people really use it for that purpose. 

But as I grew up I get accustomed to it and began to like tomato ketchup. Here in Singapore we preferred Heinz. I can't wait to tickle my taste buds when Wilma told me that we won 4 bottles each of Heinz tomato ketchup with balsamic vinegar. And I thought how sour was that? :) 

We tried it in fried pork liempo and it was delicious. The sourness of vinegar and sweetness of tomato is a good match. As usual just like any other tomato ketchup, the aftertaste is rusty but wine-like-taste. 

WILL: Balsamic vinegar marry tomato and vowed to be together for forever, haha, and their baby is Heinz Tomato ketchup blended with Balsamic Vinegar. Good choice tomato, good that you accept balsamic vinegar's proposal now we are enjoying the taste of your product. ;) 

      Heinz promoted this and as a lover of each of their products I am very excited to have a bottle of 4. We both won and take home bottles. 

      The taste is extra-ordinary. Love the extra kick of sourness. And for saying thank you to Heinz, we ask our friends to take some of the bottles and so they can try this new innovation. Before we ran out ketchup, we always check if Heinz is on our weekly list. Each bottle costs $3.40. 

Fried Garlic-Lemon Double-Stuffed Chicken Recipe

2 boneless and skinless chicken breast 
cream cheese
cheddar cheese
bread crumbs
1/4 butter
1 lemon
minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil


1. Cut the chicken horizontally and season it with salt, pepper and minced garlic, set aside. 

2. Melt the butter in a sauce pan, squeeze in half the lemon in the pan. Turn off the heat.

3. Place the seasoned chicken into the pan to absorb the buttered lemon. After 5 minutes, stuffed the meat with desired amount of cheddar and cream cheese.

4. Close the breast then dip it into the bread crumbs.

5. Turn on the heat of the previous pan, put two table spoon olive oil, sprinkle some basil, squeeze in the other half of the lemon and the remaining minced garlic then fry the chicken in a low heat, approximately 10 minutes each side. 

VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma told me that she'll cook for dinner. Whenever she cooks I know it is special. I was not wrong. 

She cooked chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and zested with lemon juice. It was delicious. The saltiness of cheese complements well the sourness of lemon. It was crunchy as it was covered with bread crumbs and then fried. 

Even our housemates said it tasted great :) 

Outram Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha Restaurant

ABBEY: When Wilma went out with her colleagues from her former company they dined out here, Outram Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha Restaurant. She likes soup and she'll give you straight-out comments whether it tickled her tastebuds or not.

This hawker shop covers 4-5 stalls. Once there, an attendant will give you a checklist for ordering. Specify what you want to have and how many. I dined here twice (Austria's visit and Wilma's) but I ordered the same; pork spare ribs. 

Wilma thought me how to eat the bread roll. Cut it  into bite-size pieces and dip it in dark soy sauce and then in the bak kut teh soup. A cup of rice will suffice but a cup of soup is not. You can have as much soup as you want as it is unlimited :)   

A bowl of bak kut teh starts at 4sgd; depends which part of pork you order. Bread roll is a must-try as well as 4-5 bowls of the soup :) The diner is located at the hawker center below PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex.

WILL: Bak Ku Teh is one of the famous food here in Singapore but only few perfected it for diners satisfaction. 
      Have you been in Tanjong Pagar Port or are you a foreign talent that have a appointment with Ministry of Manpower, why not make a stop at this well-know restaurant? This is just located at Tanjong Pagar Plaza. You will easily spot them as they always packed of people with hungry stomach. 
      Hey this is just below our office, so one time when Abbey went at our office we go straight there for dinner. 
      Youtaio is a complimentary doughnut served, omg, I can eat a lot of this, but don't forget to dunk it first in the oozing complimentary soup. :)
      We ordered two bak kut teh for not more than $7 each and a cup of rice. I love hot, peppery soup. I can eat with rice alone. The pork is so tender that meat will surrender is clinging on the bones by just poking it with a chopsticks. 
      This is a great place for you to send your tourist. ;)
