NUMBER TWO – SAMBAL DROP OFF PART DEUX:

Our last Sambal Drop Off was a bloody success. Well for those who got in there so quickly anyway. 

We also apologise to all those who were greatly offended by our sassy sambal logo. So in the interest of gender equality. we decided it was only fair to now feature a hunk of a man.

So… Since we have had more than a few angry emails, death threats, poison darts, whimpers and cries, evil eyes and custard pies, and rants of broken dreams, shattered hopes, lost youths, mourning and grief,  disappointed cries, empty desires, thrown our way from the hungry people who didn’t manage to get their hands on a jar of sambal the last time, here’s…

*FONT SIZE: ONE GABAZILLION* 

ROUND 2.

AT 2PM UK TIME ON 23 OCTOBER 2012. TODAY. 

WE WILL BE RELEASING VERY LIMITED SUPPLIES AT THE PLUSIXFIVE SHOP.

Be quick(er) this time!

DROP OFF WILL BE AT 5PM THIS SATURDAY AT THE TICKETING COUNTER AT LONDON BRIDGE TUBE STATION. BRING YOUR PLUSIXFIVESHOP CONFIRMATORY EMAIL AND LOOK FOR SMALL ORIENTAL GIRL WITH BAGS OF SAMBAL.

for those of you blurdumbofacedsotongs who dunno what the story behind the sambal is……………………

the resident grrrlpower powerpuff grrrl, seasonal produce championer, sambal making extraordinaire, hot babe of plusixfive, ShuHan, who handmakes her very own sambal with a shiiitlot of ingredients and more importantly, a heck of a lotta sweat, tears and buckets of love. READ ABOUT IT HERE >>>> http://mummyicancook.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/sambal-tumis-my-very-important-belachan.html

Using my Professor X psychic abilities, secret ouija board and seance like skills (and CTRL-C), channelling ShuHan:

“I’ve mentioned this chilli before. This is not any ordinary chilli paste. Yes, you use this as a dip at the side, but you also use this as the base for creating so many Singaporean/ Malaysian classic stirfried noodles/barbeques/curries/sauces. That said, it’s an extraordinary dip, and nasi lemak is not nasi lemak, fried hokkien prawn mee is not fried hokkien prawn mee, without this sambal chilli on the side.

What’s unique about this chilli paste is belachan- a potent-smelling fermented ground shrimp. I still remember cooking with it last year when I was still staying in halls and my Turkish flatmate kind of flew out of the kitchen. But don’t judge, because I guarantee you’ll love its salty savoury flavour. Plus like all fermented foods, belachan is great for health. I would, however, suggest doing this in an outdoor kitchen, or with all your windows open, and preferably with friendly, out-of-town, or Southeast Asian neighbours.”

Even the blardy label is lovingly handmade OK!

in the meanwhile, our new mascot dances.

What have people been saying?!

wendy (@dishpiglets)

I made Sambal Udang last night with your sambal! It was yum! I love the caramel-y taste!

tom (@citylights)

The lengths I’ll go to for Sambal apparently includes getting soaked in a thunderstorm :p

Inspired by your British/Sing cooking – used some of Sambal in British summer salad. Was stunning.

julie (@citycaphe)

my mum stole your jar of sambal too, she loves it! Can I reserve another jar from your next batch please

john (@john2man)

I know we hardly had summer, but AUTUMN IS HERE. And on the Chinese calendar, 30 Sep is my favourite festival of all, the MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL! (Mooncakes, tea, lanterns, gazing at the moon for rabbits and goddesses. What’s not to like? Plus it’s my lunar birthday.) So… we’re going to celebrate all this autumn-y goodness, Singaporean style! These will be Singaporean classics, using the best of British fall produce. Menu includes:

Fried pumpkin cake

Ox cheek and venison rendang

Kari rabbit (I know they’re cute, but they’re even better cooked)

Pear and almond sweet soup

Mooncakes

And more.

Come get stuffed silly and play with fire dragons. Book here NOW.

[New Supperclub Date] 2 Sept: SUNDAY FEASTS opening act (or hug gozgozgoz goodbye (for now))

Hello boys and girls

Yes. The vicious rumours are true.

gozgozgoz has to take off on a short hiatus. NOOOOOO. Sniff sniif. Sob Sob. Mostly because he has undertaken a mahoosive super not-so-secret squirrel mammmoth task which you will probably either never hear about (because it will suffer the same fate at THAT Terry Gilliam film and never get done) or you will hear endless talk about it because gozgozgoz is probably the leakiest of vaults you will ever come by.

So we thought it would only be apt if gozgozgoz was coerced into cooking once last meal (for now) for you kids – he cant leave all you crazy kids without saying goodbye properly right?

We’ve invited to be the BIG BADASS opening act for Sunday Feasts in Covent Garden, a 3 month supperclub series that our food-mad friends over at Edible Experiences are organising.

http://www.edibleexperiences.com/sunday-feasts

Our big bash on SECOND (2ND) SEPTEMBER 2012 will feature our pirate mix tape of GREATEST ROCK ANTHEM DISHES like…

Chwee kueh (as featured in London Unattached here and in awarded silver medal by Hot-Dinners!)
Teochew braised duck
Rice wine chicken
Cassava cake

AND MORE! We donno what yet lah. We’re still plotting. But at least you know our motivation will be that we don’t want you to forget us anytime soon!

So COME SAY GOODBYE (FOR NOW)! DON’T SAY WE SNEAK AWAY WITHOUT TELLING ALL OF YOU!

Sunday 2 Sep, 6.30pm
Covent Garden

Special mention for Jason aka Mr Peranakan Palace. Some of you know that Jason’s been a core part of the Plusixfive crew for the past few months now, and he makes us look GOOOOOD. Well we’ve asked him and a couple of the others in our core crew to carry on our good/badass supperclub name while we’re on assignment.

So Mr Peranakan Palace is teaming up with Cherry of FedbyTang’s Hongkong Supperclub on 11 Nov at Sunday Feasts. Go support support ok! Cos everybody needs 1 night in Singakong / Hongapore!

The long arduous torch of the dispelling of any of Singapore’s culinary myths will still continue in their trusty teflon heat resistant hands

A Helluva Long and Boring National Day Message

[Click HERE if you want a quick summary of what one blogger thought about the night. Read on if you want a boring lenghthy life story]

[Click HERE if you want to sign up for Goz's last shindig before he takes off on a short hiatus on a secret project to subvert Singaporean misconceptions and avert stir fry calamities]

Sometime back, we were sent an invite to do a supperclub session at the Supperclub Summit at the Goethe Institute but it went largely ignored partly because of general ennui and procrastination and mostly because I just could not fathom the thought of (a) feeding over 50 people, and (b) being an highly annnal control freak (allegedly), cooking in any kitchen other than my own, whilst still maintaining the quality of food, the intimate cosy setting and sense of nostalgia and homeliness I try to create with each supperclub.

Then, someone asked if we were doing anything for Singapore National Day and that got me thinking.

And by curious coincidence, thanks to us being the last supperclub to sign up to this, the only date left available was 8 August, the day before Singapore National Day but if we are being pedantic, as Singapore is 7 hours ahead of us, it would be National Day in Singapore when we started our dinner.

And so it seemed the culinary stars were all aligned.

Last year’s National Day, I did two seatings in a day at my supperclub which nearly killed us. Maybe its just bold faced stupidity, newfound patriotism or steadfast stubbornness, but with that memory of all the cooking and washing up inbetween and overnight and the countless acrimonious threats of unfriending and unsavoury usage of sharp or blunt implements of any kind still fresh, raw and bloody in my head, we got in touch with the Supperclub Summit and locked 8^th August in.

Patriotism Schmatriotism

At the risk of (kueh)pie(tee)throwing, I would say this – Singaporeans are a quirky breed of humans, especially the ones overseas. We spend an awful lot of time complaining, griping and ranting about Singapore – the heatwave, the rigid bureaucracy, the lack of freedoms, arts, music and culture and generally all things government related.

So you would think that on the day institutionalized by the government to celebrate and expound all things Singaporean, that Singaporeans overseas would shun it and avoid it like a plague/plate of cold tasteless food court chicken rice.

But for some reason unbeknownst to the greatest of human minds (and goz’s), everytime we advertise a Singaporean National Day event, it goes mad viral and everyone gets all giggly and excited over it like a new found bubble tea/ portugese egg tart/ jam/ tau hway/ yakitori/ cream puffs/ takoyaki / [insert new fad] store in Singapore. Weird huh?

This time was no different. Despite being the last supperclub to sign up, we were the first to sell out within 4 days. And with an extensive waitlist to boot, which even included officials from a Singaporean quasi-governmental body.

Furthermore, on the day itself, we stated in our email that it was red or dead and implored everyone to wear red – just like everyone would have done at the National Day Parade in Singapore and boy did everyone put in an effort – We had red white dress combos, we had red ties, we even had someone who claimed to be wearing red undies (we believed him)!

Maybe it is because it is so uncool for Singaporeans to openly declare it but they all innately secretly really do love their country like a guilty secret. A bit like cheesy 80s pop tunes, bananarama and rick astley? Maybe its because Singaporeans generally love good food and would find just about any excuse to part-ay? Who knows. Whatever it is, looking at how many Singaporeans signed up eagerly for this and how many were on the waitlist, will always warm the patriotic humm (aka blood cockles) of my heart.

But we didn’t only have random homesick secret patriot Singaporeans. We had old friends, colleagues, regulars, new faces from all nationalities from China to Italians in the house. It was a noisy wild riotous mix.

Greatest hits and Mambo beats

It was like a supperclub mixtape of the greatest hits of plusixfive. We set the tone of the night by beginning with a short speech about nostalgia and family feasts and how the sound of a ringing bicycle bell will always remind us of the days gone by when the satay man would around the neighbourhood selling snacks and satay from a rickety barbecue precariously perched on the back of his bicycle, flouting just about every road safety and health and safety law if there were any back then.  We had done up a menu for everyone but, being never one to shy from food extravagance, went slightly overboard and chucked in a few other extra items at the last minute. We had good morning towels, curry puffs served in brown bags and chwee kueh in brown oil drenched paper tied up with a rubber band and satay slapped on banana leaves, we had braised duck, we had cuttlefish lettuce cups, we even had speciality Singapore Sling made by our fav Hoxton speakeasy, Happinessforgets.com, we had it all.

Bonus points also went to any guests who recognized the songs being played in the background.

8^th August conveniently fell on a Wednesday and tied in with the concept of nostalgia, we also decided on a playlist of good ole 80s cheese pop tunes.  Any Singaporean worth their salt in all things cool would have grown up spending many a blurry Thursday morning nursing a hangover from partying at Mambo at Zouk on Wednesday where a catalogue of the best (and, arguably, worst) tunes from the 80s would be spun and rows and rows of pimply teenagers would uniformly succinctly perform synchronized dancing, signing every word of every song as if they all practiced the night before together in their bedrooms (and they probably did). I always thought this was probably the strangest local phenomenon (besides reserving seats with tissue paper packets) and would look incredibly curious to any outsiders – to see all these kids dance drone-like to the same tune with the same actions – it must have seemed like a strange experiment in early cloning to some. 

To the superheroes of plusixfive

When this whole shindig of a supperclub started over a year and a half ago, it was just me. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine it to be what it is today. And what it has grown into. I would never have thought we would get mentioned in various national press in the UK and Singapore or that I would ever end up feeding over 50 people in South Kensington. But most of all, I would never have imagined that plusixfive would grow into something beyond just me and into an amorphous motley crew of a collective.

So thank you to everyone who made this possible – everyone who cooked, fried, massaged ducks, sliced, chopped, plated, listened to me shout and bark orders, served, danced, chit chatted, drank, spun yarns of tales, and loved every guest that came through the door that night.

And most of all, thank you to everyone who came and warmed my humm.

[new supperclub date - 19 Aug 2012] “NO MORE MR RICE GUY” or “Mummy I’m going to the Peranakan Palace!”

The current new fancy complete plusixfive line-up of gozgozgoz, Shu of @Mummyicancook.com, and J of @Feasttotheworld triple-team up for sizzling (yeah right) summer supper.

As we were thinking of menu options, we realised that we do have plenty of meals where rice is not a staple. So we decided to challenge ourselves and make things uber difficult for us by making an entire meal with rice as a staple.

We will showcase to you what we eat in Singapore and how we have entire meals without rice!

Teaser menu:

Starters
* Roti John – A Singapore-Indian style spicy meaty omelette sandwich
* Mee Hoon Kueh – Hand-torn fresh noodles, in homemade broth, topped with crispy anchovies.

Mains
* Kari Ayam – Nyonya Chicken Curry served with Baguette
* Otak – Grilled spicy and aromatic fish parcels
* Sayur Lodeh – Vegetables in a spicy coconut milk-laced soup

Secret Desserts – Definitely NOT rice pudding.

Knowing Jase and Shu, they will probably add more stuff to the menu because they like making things difficult for themselves like that.

It’s gonna be HOT. Bring whatever drinks you need to settle the spices!

19th Aug – 7:30pm

CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.edibleexperiences.com/p/9054/65-plusixfive/234001/NO-RICE-Supper

Remember, there will be NO RICE.

If for whatever reason you are hellbent on rice and can only eat rice and must have rice with every meal snack breath you take and u cannot sleep dream live love life without that humble grain, then this supperclub is probably not for you. So if you come, and whinge about the lack of rice, we have bought cans of kick azz just to open on you. Im warning you.

Representing Singapore and bi-winning (MyPaper, NomNomNom and BakKutTeh Challenge agst Malaysia – What’s been happening in the +65 universe?)

Sorry we have gone bit quiet for awhile.

gozgozgozgoz has gone into massive midlife crisis, bleached his hair blonde, and is now looking for fast women and bare legal cars and generally travelling and disappearing into his batcave. occasionally when he remembers that he is not a rock star and comes crashing down to earth and we drag him away from his toys, he is running a little not-so-secret project of his, dragging in Shu of mummyicancook into his devious road to world domination (one can dream). (Shu, who’s article on RICE, by the way has been featured in New York Times Diner’s Journal today! WE ARE SO DARN PROUD OF HER!)

Lately we have been doing a lotta representing and making waves for Singapore (in a good way. Not in a grades for sex scandal kinda way) so here’s a quick round up of the plusixfive universe so far to assure / annoy you that we are unfortunately still alive and kicking and ready to spam your inboxes:

(1) Featured in Singapore News (MyPaper)!

MUM! LOOK!

We were interviewed last week and featured in the daily free morning Singapore newspaper (think Metro in London) on Singaporean food overseas! Yowzaa! We are lovin’ it! (even though they got goz’s name wrong)

(2) CHAMPIONS OF THE BATTLE OF THE BAK KUT TEH (#BakKutTehOff) AGAINST MALAYSIA!

We said it before and we will say it again. Singapore Bak Kut Teh is better than Malaysia’s.

Last Sunday, we represented Singapore and fought a long hard tense battle against WildSerai as we dished out 50 bowls each of Malaysian BKT and Singapore BKT.

The public came and the public voted.

It was a very very tense moment when the results was announce but we are happy to announce that:

*flashflashflash* SINGAPORE won BOTH the people’s choice (where people voted with bowls) AND the amount of money raised for ActionAgainstHunger! *flashflashflash*

SINGAPORE REPREZENTZ!

(thanks to the lovely sponsors http://momowich.com/, http://shop.waiyeehong.com/ and to all at Pop Up Singapore House for giving us the opportunity to finally confirm what everyone knew all along. SINGAPORE BKT IS BETTER THAN MALAYSIA. DUH.)

(incidentally, everyone should go check out the Pop Up Singapore House. There are some fabulous art works and laser light installations on display. AND there will be an AWESOME and crazy theatrical dinner on 31 August HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL by the TwoHungryGirls and Platform65. THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED.)

(3) NATIONAL DAY AT THE SUPPERCLUB SUMMIT

Oh and lastly, we have been invited to cook at the largest supperclub summit ever. Thats happening next Wednesday and tickets sold out within 4 days of it being released!

WE WERE THE FIRST SUPPERCLUB TO SELL OUT! EEEKS! 

(but if you want to be on the waitlist, please email us at plusixfive@gmail.com if anyone pulls out we will let you know!)

We have a mad crazy crew lined up for you. It will be like a MAD all star all singing all dancing bombastic dining experience ever.

ShuHan will be getting her eggs all hot and spicy, Charlene will be currying favour with her puffs, Christine will showcase her buns, Andrew cant wait for you to try his long tender meat stick, Jason will be plate up his balls, and Radhika and Cui will be baring it all. Goz will generally be at the sidelines dancing:

erm.

Oh and we will have a secret hello drink made by a UBER HIPSTERATI SHOREDITCH SPEAKEASY. Hmm.

But what fun will it be if i told you all exactly what was gonna happen… ;p

SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEDNESDAY ALL YOU ALL WHO HAVE TICKETS.

REMEMBER. TO. WEAR. RED. BRIGHT FRIGGIN RED.

(4) GLOBAL FEAST 2012

It sits eighty, its the shape of the freaking world, contours and all and is the shiztz. And its set in an amazing victorian town hall and is outdoors. Its amazing. Tickets are still available and can be bought here

We are whipping up a #hothotsex menu including:

Chwee Kueh

Mom’s Hainanese Chicken Rice

WOO HOO! YEAH YOU READ THAT RIGHT! WE CAME SECOND AFTER ANNA HANSEN! YAY! in www.hot-dinners.com! YEAAH!!

SINGAPORE REPREZENT!!! (insert cool hand gangsta signing) 

• London Unattached also reviewed us and her personal favourite from ALL the CANAPES? WAS THE CHWEE KUEH! YAY!

Who would guess the humble breakfast made from rice cakes and preserved turnip would garner such attention halfway across the world huh?

(5) 2nd PRIZE WINNERS FOR NOMNOMNOM2012

We took part in the NOMNOMNOM2012 competition with the ever talented (LOOK AT HER CAKES!) Leigh of craft-cakes. A yearly masterchef style competition judged by Anna Hansen (Modern Pantry), Martin Morales (Cerviche), Francesco Mazzei (L’Anima), Tom Hunt (Bar Poco) and others!
