thinking of modifying it to Pen Cai by adding WaWa cabbage and some other food like roast pork, dried scallop(soak) to braised together and only lastly add those abalones to it…

so is it do-able?

Can anyone list out the steps or receipe for making pencai. I had never eat before or see before except for their pictures.

Thanks in advance.

There was a recipe by Chef Eric Teo in yesterday's Sunday Times.

I saw that. Looks like it will take a good few hours to put together! Somemore his is a \"short cut\" version.

Why don't you cook the pencai? It is easy

The pencai - is it supposed to be soup stock based or sauce based? Need to braise prior to consumption? Or just put in all the various cooked stuff and arrange nicely thats all?

They tend to be cheap, tasty and filled with good ingredients, vs those from hotels which tend to be expensive & you are paying mainly for the packaging.

The first time we had it was at roland restaurant (parkway area). Other than it had alot of "expensive" stuff, I don’t recall anything great about it. So when I tried it again at Putien, it was quite nice as in not overwhelming.

For the past two years, I have been making my own "pen cai", own style, as in not traditional (at least I don’t think it’s original). Ingredients are basically what I fancy putting in, like duck, roast pork, dried scallops, fish maw, dried mushrooms, abalone, fatt choy, white cabbage.

He cooked pen cai. And according to him, there is no authentic pen cai in Singapore, especially so during CNY as corners are cut & some ingredients replaced, so as to make it more economical and faster to cook. He said something about using Oyster Sauce, which is not part of the traditional recipe.

But I haven’t tried it.
Actually i haven’t tried pencai.
I think it is overpriced and I don’t fancy the things in it.
