The end of 2022 saw the Longhouse being in a flurry of activity with a slew of classes. In September, we hosted a Singaporean cooking class with Pamelia Chia, ‘A Little Spice is Nice’, the highlight of which was chicken curry and beef rendang made from scratch, with meat from the Longhouse. To accompany the mains, fresh roti was made. Everyone got their hands busy stretching out dough till you could see the grain of the table through it, rubbing it with ghee, and coiling it up to laminate it, much like croissant pastry. The result – flaky, crispy yet tender layers that soak up the curry and rendang.
