Zi char (a Hokkien term, literally translated "cook fry") is widely recognized in Singapore to refer to a variety of dishes that one can order from any Chinese cooked food (zi char) stall in coffee shops across the island. Dishes range from one-dish rice or noodle meals to fish and seafood and meat and vegetable dishes to go with piping hot white rice. Zi char dishes are very much a part of the Singaporean lifestyle, and zi char stalls that dish out the most flavorsome dishes will attract an endless flow of diners. In continuing their efforts to inspire others to have fun whipping up their own meals, the MeatMen share thirty popular zi char dishes including crab bee hoon, san lou hor fun, cereal prawns, har cheong gai and sambal kangkong in this second cookbook. All dishes are prepared in their usual effortless style that requires no fancy tools, equipment, or special skills, and come with the promise that anyone with a passion for good food and cooking can be a zi char expert at home!
