Alan asked me to brand this, haha!
Hock Chai, the talented chef cum possessor of ZiZai restaurant posted a droolicious film of Hainanese Spring Rolls that he in ane lawsuit ate. Alan saw it as well as interrogated him on this dish, LOL, as well as inwards the end, asked me to exercise it.
Personally I accept never eaten this before, but I intend past times the looks of it, it looks rather similar alongside the ane that Hock Chai posted.
Hock Chai in ane lawsuit saw an one-time Hainanese chef brand this. He was a friend of his father. Old masters rarely learn people on how to gear upwards for certain things, particularly dishes that is utilization of their livelihood. But if ane is sudden enough, only past times going inwards as well as out of the kitchen, ane tin choice upwards many tricks as well as skills only past times observing. And if you're lucky, the chef volition learn you lot a describe a fast ane on or two.
According to Hock Chai, Hainanese boundary rolls uses a crepe every bit skin. Not the regular boundary curl wrappers. He gave me a crude oil recipe as well as I came upwards alongside this wrapper. It was crispy when freshly fried, but doesn't remain crispy for long. Acceptable inside twenty minutes, but whatsoever longer is soft. Hock Chai said, those sold are crispy for one-half an hr as well as solely crispy if ane dines in. Take aways are soggy for sure. Seriously... I am non for certain how closed I am to the existent thing. LOL. But the filling is tasty on its ain as well as Hock Chai said, the dipping sauce is essential to this dish. Tamarind, worcestershire sauce, lime as well as mustard, a fusion of British as well as local ingredients that makes it 'Penang' :)
Thanks Hock Chai for your generosity to portion as well as teach.
