Five-Spice Shrimp Cakes

Five-Spice Shrimp Cakes – food from Singapore

Pane-Bistecca
This “novelty” in Singaporean cuisine dates back to the 1950s. Liu Fan came to Singapore from Fujian and sold Five-Spice shrimp cakes and dried tofu as a Hawker. Whenever there was a big show or occasion somewhere, he would park his mobile cart and sell his delicacies. Most of all, his tofu was beloved and so people just called him “dried tofu”. His son, Liu Fuji says, “My father put his tent on mobile trailers and whenever a storm came, we had to run after the tents flying away! It wasn’t easy!”

I have recreated them, and they really are extremely easy and good! You are taking part in the blog event the Culinary World travel from Volkermampft which is travelling to Singapore this month.
