VIDEO: A SUGAR FACTORY IN SINGAPORE
ST Food visited Cheng Yew Heng Candy Factory in Senoko last week for a peek into the making of rock sugar and red jaggery sugar at Singapore's oldest and only sugar manufacturer.
The family business was founded in 1947 and is now run by the third generation.
The factory opened its doors to the public for one-off tours last weekend as part of the Singapore Heritage Festival, which runs till April 22.

RECIPES TO TRY
Try a recipe for beef rendang, made from scratch with a spice paste and freshly squeezed coconut milk.
Ms Hedy Khoo, who shared the recipe in The New Paper last week, braises the beef in a slow-cooker. She also has a recipe for chicken rendang, which can also be found on ST Food.
