MAKING ONDEH ONDEH AT HOME: A LITTLE TASTE OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN JOY (AND HOW TO KEEP THEM FRESH)

Forget the Fake Stuff – Let’s Talk Real Carbonara!

Ah, Carbonara. That silky, cheesy, peppery Italian dream. But here’s the tea (or should we say, the guanciale?): most “Carbonara” you see in Singapore is a creamy imposter. Heavy pouring cream, garlic overload, and sometimes even mushrooms? Chef’s kiss? More like chef’s miss.
