I just love how this chef explains everything about peranakan cuisine. i respect his soul and mindset. + the auntie are the best cooker than the chef 😂😂
I agree with other commenters that seeing dishes from around the world, their techniques and ingredients, really opens the spirit of cooking. It makes one appreciate what one has, and presents endless possibilities for what one may taste. Bravo!
as a baba (peranakan guy) who cooks, lemme just say that when aunts know that you want to cook they usually don't give you recipes that easily. i spent a whole 2 years learning how to make chapchai with my aunt just tasting it and saying "hmmm not quite there, boy" and nothing else.
I wanna go Candlenut! Covid! Such a humble chef. Admire his mannerism and approach to his craft. He sums up finding one's path succinctly: I didn't feel stressed, I was so happy and excited. How I envy him and all the best to your restaurant and well done for keeping the Paranakan-Singaporean cuisine alive Malcolm!
almonds are poisonous too, same with lentils, pineapple, green potatoes, etc...a lot of food is poisonous unless prepared properly a lot of the foods we know as edible have been passed down by ancient ancestors for thousands of years before science existed. Often native tribes and the indigenous know what plants are edible or not edible and how to prepare them
@@matttypes2695 yes but that's also how humans developed the ability to remove poisons and toxins from their body in non lethal amounts and some cells adapt to poisons over periods of time they build a resistance to it.
I honestly thought that kelwek (keluak) only famous among people from eastern side of Indonesia. Because seriously, a lot of my friends from western side of Indonesia (Sumatra island) doesn't even know what keluwek is needless to say to ever taste rawon (beef broth soup made with keluwek as its main ingredient for taste). Thus, this video really surprises me, I never expect peoole from Singapore not only heard of keluwek but even has their own specialty dishes using keluwek as its main ingredient for its taste. Bravo!
Any curry with tamarind paste or water will take it to the next level. It gives you the sweet and sour punch when it is fused with all the ingredients and if you eat the dish the next day OH MY GOD!! It's heaven!!
Beautiful, beautiful and amazing! The beautiful aunt ( I think) is vibrant and bright! I have somehow missed out on the wondrous cultures of the world. Too bad I had the profound misfortune of growing up in Athens, Georgia in the United States of America. May God help us.
Thanks for producing so many asian food videos! (From someone who has watched more pasta burger and pizza videos than I will probably voluntarily eat in my life)
Awesome. Chef Malcom Lee and his restaurant Candle Nut is one of the great places to eat in Singapore and truly deserving of more than just a Michelin Star.
When his aunt said "another few round could be better", we who shared some experiences on grinding "rempah" (spices) into paste can relate. I remember when I & my mom exchanged some arguments that the paste was good enough or not. Hahaha... in my case was making "opor" (staple Eid Fitr food).
This is breaking my heart…..I’m an Irish girl married to a Malaysian man, and trying to learn to cook his favorite dishes that his mama made him (she is now deceased). So I came to RUclips, I’ve made some lovely curries, but sadly, here in Cyprus I can’t get all the ingredients 😢😢😢

Michelin-starred Chef Malcolm Lee has won over the critics with his take on traditional Peranakan food at Singapore’s Candlenut. But his family? That’s a whole other story. In this video, Lee learns from his aunt why her babi buah keluak has a delicious taste he just can’t replicate
Nope, patriarchal as heck. But maybe there's more stories about the grandmamas because they are emotionally closer to their children than the baba. Asian dads in the past aren't as openly loving as today's dads.
it's matriarchal when it comes to household issues, patriarchal when it comes to money, business. similarly like how the royals in zchina work; the emperor does all the politics, empress takes care of the harem.
His aunt is awesome. Family are the real source of inspiration and the real critics, too!
family and inspiration yea, right, not for me
10:17 "When you eat something so delicious, you dont know what to do with your life. You sit here amazed."
The story of my life.

His aunt's smile is priceless, no wonder why the food tastes amazing :)

Random person 1: "We have all these poisonous nuts. What should we do?"
Random person 2: "Let em rot then we'll eat em."

@@GrowingDownUnder You are probably right. But you know some people died finding that out.

GrowingDownUnder that’s not how that works
Damian L yes is
Bless this man and his beautiful family
This video made me smile. It's so peaceful and happy

Very humble Chef and family. I love that they share this recipe with us.
I really felt that "Parts unknown" vibe. Really good video

the dude has a perpetual smile on his face, haha, thats awesome.
what a cute family. would watch a show with him cooking with his family
The way he was using the mortar and pestle and his veins were popping out in his arm.... i’m in love
I love this family connection focus vid, so wholesome
I like the way the chief gently introduces his story. That's just like a joyful food journey in Singapore.
I wish I could taste this all - so delicious, wholesome and delightful!!! A must watch
Had the pleasure of meeting Chef Malcom Lee in Dublin earlier this year, a really cool guy.
Loved it Chef Lee, (inspite of being a vegetarian) it was so inspiring and soulful. Both mom and aunt teaching you the deli
Beautiful, beautiful and amazing! The beautiful aunt ( I think) is vibrant and bright! I have somehow missed out on the wondrous cultures of the world. Too bad I had the profound misfortune of growing up in Athens, Georgia in the United States of America. May God help us.
Cooking with my family is the most calming and happiest time for me...guess the same goes to most families
Love the Michelin Star chef videos
Peaceful, I love her kitchen, all of their vibes. Good video.
Omg I love his aunt why is she so precious be still my heart!
Really enjoyed this and the family element. Thanks.

His Aunt is very lovely teaching him step by step of the recipe.
The aunt is gorgeous 😍
She is BEAUTIFUL
Michelin-starred Chef i assumed someone with bit of a attitude he seems nice'
When his aunt said "another few round could be better", we who shared some experiences on grinding "rempah" (spices) into paste can relate. I remember when I & my mom exchanged some arguments that the paste was good enough or not. Hahaha... in my case was making "opor" (staple Eid Fitr food).
What a great show! We want more!
There is nothing better in the world then cooking with your mother, either in person, or spirit.
This was pretty wholesome.
Wholesome af video.
Love this.
The secret is one word
*"MORE"*
Auntie is such a sweetheart!
Hearing the Singaporean accent is such a refreshing feeling hahah
How come this place hasn't ever been featured on food king?
this is like rawon, indonesian beef soup, but using pork as it main ingredient, and simmering it down, with low heat, dayuumm must taste good
The beat on mamas kitchen cabinets 5:14
Cooking is love😍😍😍
What lovely family
What a beautiful family
Are Thais, Singaporeans and Philipinos the only ones to eat rice dishes and stuff with fork and spoon this way?
Most Asian people do.
Khmer, Laos, and Vietnamese people also eat rice dishes with spoons and forks, too :) mostly South East Asians.
that aunt's voice is so smooth
This looks amazing. Wish they had a restaurant near me in Dallas.
I want to point out that lime leaves are NOT for garnish they also add flavors to the food
6:26 o_o Back in her day they didn't play around.
In indonesia we used kluak for make "rawon" and "brongkos" 😎 and another dish
This is breaking my heart…..I’m an Irish girl married to a Malaysian man, and trying to learn to cook his favorite dishes that his mama made him (she is now deceased). So I came to RUclips, I’ve made some lovely curries, but sadly, here in Cyprus I can’t get all the ingredients 😢😢😢
Excellent
1:11 so no one is gonna talk about how they use the pin on the poster? hahaha
No
Hahaha org2 tua dulu kalau masak x sama they called it 'air tangan tak sama' ❤❤❤ hehehe
"Here we have some basic ingredients" my kitchen is lacking.
Awesome video
very wholesome video. anyone tried this dish before? what the the nut taste like for those that can't get it?
amen to that about moms. also your mom well at least my asian mama will just say "it's okay".
singapore pride 🇸🇬
Why do you guys say La at the end of the sentences?
sanim gurung it’s a slang. lah has an “of course” connotation, eg. no lah = of course not.
good good good video
Very nice video😎👍🤣
lmao who was the first person determined enough to find a way to eat that poisonous nut.😂
Wow.
There english accents sounds like it has a hint of french. I wonder if he lived in France as a young chef
no that's just how Singaporeans talk
This family is giving me major "crazy rich asians" vibes.
Hawker food > Michelin food in Singapore.
Singapore's liz warren over here.
Cool family :P
You could be a star chef, but if your Asian mom said it wasn't good. It wasn't.
I had no idea that Singaporean's spoke such good english?
I wonder how it tastes... only ever tasted keluak in rawon. I wonder how itll taste w tamarind and everything
I first read the title as Michelin chef cooks his aunt! And I was like tf!
mirip rawon
This guy reminds me of Buk Lau from the RUclips channel Ownage Pranks!
Damn!! must be nice to have money like this.
WHERES UNCLE ROGER
Aunt how old is she ?
Looks like you eating a mug!!!
actually this whole episode giving off the crazy rich asian vibe, this chef comes from a very well to do family

Can’t get recipe
Looks a lot like jerk chicken
Behind every successful male chef is a team of women who can cook better than him
Crazy Rich Asians
It is g for gram not "gms", thanks
in what world is "gms" used for grams?
If you don't know exactly what those black nuts are you can just google it.

Thought the title said: Why this chef decided to cook his aunt
Please note there is no such thing as a Michelin starred chef !!!!!!!!
I think I found my new husband
Is peranakan is a matriarchal society? I less see stories about baba.
Nope, patriarchal as heck. But maybe there's more stories about the grandmamas because they are emotionally closer to their children than the baba. Asian dads in the past aren't as openly loving as today's dads.
it's matriarchal when it comes to household issues, patriarchal when it comes to money, business.
similarly like how the royals in zchina work; the emperor does all the politics, empress takes care of the harem.
just gonna put this out there... maybe just call them lime leaves? I feel like its time for the food world to move past the word "'Kaffir"
somebody said it
Ugh...I can't stand the Singlish accent. SMH.
