Sedap Buah Keluak Chicken Chop By Chef Turned Hawker At Peranakan-Western Food Stall In Ang Mo Kio
When 8days.sg arrived at four-month-old Peranakan-Western hawker stall Pangi Nut, it was swamped with hungry students from the nearby Ang Mo Kio Secondary School. And that’s just how restaurant chef-turned-hawker Jarrod Poh, 53, likes it. After all, the proud Peranakan opened the stall because he wanted to ‘school’ Singaporean kids about heritage food.
Pangi Nut, another name for buah keluak, is located at the new-ish Thye Guan Eating House at Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. Sixty percent of Jarrod’s menu features regular Western dishes like Rib-Eye Steak. But it is his unusual Peranakan-inspired offerings that are drawing foodies’ attention despite their higher prices. There’re Buah Keluak Chicken Chop, Rendang or Buah Keluak Burgers and Assam Pineapple Grilled Salmon, among other dishes.
