Zi char (a Hokkien term, literally translated "cook fry") is widely
recognized in Singapore to refer to a variety of dishes that one can
order from any Chinese cooked food (zi char) stall in coffee shops
across the island. Dishes range from one-dish rice or noodle meals to
fish and seafood and meat and vegetable dishes to go with piping hot
white rice. Zi char dishes are very much a part of the Singaporean
lifestyle, and zi char stalls that dish out the most flavorsome dishes
will attract an endless flow of diners. In continuing their efforts to
inspire others to have fun whipping up their own meals, the MeatMen
share thirty popular zi char dishes including crab bee hoon, san lou hor
fun, cereal prawns, har cheong gai and sambal kangkong in this second
cookbook. All dishes are prepared in their usual effortless style that
requires no fancy tools, equipment, or special skills, and come with the
promise that anyone with a passion for good food and cooking can be a zi
char expert at home!
