HarriAnns Nyonya Table • Stubbornly Handmade Peranakan Dishes & Kueh

For many people when they think about Nyonya laksa in Singapore, they think immediately of laksa in Katong such as Janggut, 328, or George.

Curious Origin of Kueh Pie Tee or Top Hat

I love kueh pie tee which is a common dish in Nyonya restaurants and homes. But, I always thought it a bit odd as the crispy cup or top hat as it is sometimes called doesn't seemed to be an Asian or Southeast Asian thing. The fillings are similar to Hokkien popiah and the sambal is clearly from the Malay archipelago. But, where did the crispy cup come from?

I have been wondering how kueh pie tee became a quintessentially Nyonya dish. 🤔

History & Origin of Tempura 天ぷら • Lasting Legacy of a Brief Japanese - Portuguese Encounter

Most of us have tasted tempura, the iconic Japanese fried vegetable, fish, and seafood dish. Many of us like it but some of us may be surprised that the Japanese learned to prepare this dish from the Europeans, Portuguese specifically.

And, it was fairly recently in historical terms. 

Just some 500+ years ago.
