The Coolest Chinese Food In Singapore

No, we’re not talking about “being hip” neither are we referring to Traditional Chinese medicine’s concept of yin and yang. We literally mean cool as in low chilled temperatures. The Chinese may prefer their food piping hot but that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy a toothsome cold dish once in a while. Cold Chinese dishes are also not just side show appetisers because you can find them as main dishes as well. Just in time for the coming hot and humid summer months, Makansutra lists down some of these chilled Chinese foods and where best to find them.

Raw Blood Cockles

Spring Leaf Taiwan Porridge
18 Jalan Leban

The dish may be creepy to look at but one taste of it will change your mind. The saltiness of the raw cockles mixes well with the wine marinade while the added chopped garlic and chillies more than adequately mask the fishiness, if there’s any at all. There is also an excellent version of it at Spring Leaf Taiwan Porridge where they use oyster sauce instead.
