Boldly rooted
Akira Back (MICHELIN Plate 2019) x Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (Bib Gourmand 2019)
24 February to 2 March 2021
Culinary traditions form the backbone of these two visionary restaurants, from distant cultures yet coming together in their staunch iterations of authentic flavours. Each boldly represents their heritage even as they expand their brand overseas. Chef Akira Back has parlayed his success from one MICHELIN-star DOSA in South Korea to an international empire of restaurants in America, Dubai, Hanoi and more. Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is a homegrown Singaporean restaurant established in 1969 serving its iconic Teochew-style peppery pork rib soup using their own heritage recipe.
In this collaboration, pork takes centrestage in unexpected and delightful renditions. Kurobuta Bossam, a beloved Korean pork wrap dish, is given a fresh twist as its condiments are augmented with typical bak kut teh ingredients of salted vegetable and sweet peanut, alongside apple fennel kimchi and XO sauce, wrapped in butterhead lettuce. Ngoh Hiang Maki intrigues the tastebuds as it brings together black pork, smoked daikon and king oyster mushroom in a signature Japanese rice roll. The creative crossover highlight is Bak Kut Teh Hotteok, a genius reinvention of Korean pancake that takes the usual sweet pancake to savoury heights, using Song Fa’s premium pork ribs and a handmade pepper dipping sauce.
