Who are the Teochew people?
The Teochew community is one of the largest Chinese dialect groups in Singapore, with with roots stretching back to the early days of Chinese migration to the region. Originating from the Chaozhou Prefecture in China’s Guangdong Province, the early Teochew pioneers settled in many parts of Southeast Asia and brought with them their culinary influence. Teochew cuisine is known for its emphasis on the freshness and natural flavours of the ingredients, and cooking methods often involve steaming, poaching and double boiling that fitted well with the limited facilities available to early settlers. The food is light and tasty and doesn’t leave the diner with the full feeling and discomfort sometimes associated with eating oily foods.
