Singapore almost lost its last Hakka restaurant 😔
When ageing owner Mr Lai Fak Nian had no one to pass Plum Village to, fellow Hakka yin Ms Chen Yiwen stepped in — and gave it new life as Hakka Bond.
She brought back rarely seen dishes like hairy fig chicken, motherwort duck, and 25-grain bowls. Food worth preserving 🙌

We visited and put our thoughts on page 183 of the Makansutra Ebook! Comment "Bond" and we'll send you the details!

Tried Hakka Bond? Tell us your favourite dish below! 👇

⚠️Correction: Yiwen took over in 2025, not 2023.

That sound. The moment you scrape the crispy burnt rice off the bottom of the claypot — that crackling, that socarrat — is the whole point!

Chef Benny Se Teo's Prawn Paste Pork Shoulder Claypot Rice isn't just a recipe. It's an experience your kitchen has been missing.

Comment BENNY and we'll send it straight to your DM. Tag us when you make it. 🍚🔥

Ever wondered why you have to queue so long for your favourite plate of Cha Kway Teow? Why the hawker cannot cook it in bulk? 💭

Think wok hei and constant frying! When done in small batches, the heat is focused and flavours preserved! Add in more cockles & it hits the spot 🥰
