ST Food Picks Ep 26: Home-based food businesses to keep an eye out for
Home-based food businesses have been on the rise due to the pandemic, but Blue Spoon's Assam Pedas that uses chicken instead of fish or prawns, really stands out. The dish is punchy, with tangy gravy and a portion size large enough for two.
Su Nougat is a gem that is not typically under the radar due to their unique product, nougat. Impressively, their nougats are not stiff and sticky, but soft and not teeth-rottingly sweet. There are several flavours you can choose from, one of which is savoury.

Taste of Italy at Keong Saik Road; natural wine with hearty food: Food Picks Ep 21
Money FM's Bernard Lim hosts The Straits Times' food editor Tan Hsueh Yun as she shares her food picks this week.
Pretend you're virtually in Italy by going to Bar Milano, newly opened on 55, Keong Saik Road. The 38-seat all-day, indoor bar opened on July 8, but the look and feel of the interior suggest it has been here forever.
Food offerings scrawled on mirrors, old-school lamps and plates with deliberately faded patterns. The vibe is somewhere in between the high gloss of Cova in Milan, and that neighbourhood hangout in your secret happy place.
Now, if you love natural wine and hearty food and think David Bowie is incomparable, you will love Rebel Rebel at 14 Bukit Pasoh Road. Co-owner Amanullah Khan, 44, has another business, Artisan Cellars, which sells some terrific labels he sources painstakingly.
And the wine list at the bar is a showcase of some of the best. He and co-owner Eugene Goh, 42, are serious foodies, so of course, the menu is solid.
It is a concise one, but chef Deborah Yeo, 36, who worked at Cocotte and Burnt Ends, is looking to expand the offerings once she has more hands in the kitchen.
