Used to eat roast chicken in a coffee shop along Changi Rd.

That coffee shop has gone, but used to serve a bowl of salt and pepper spice which lifted the taste of the chicken to historic heights.

 

Could buy a carton of that spice in most supermarkets years ago but they suddenly stopped selling it.  Dunno why.

 

A few weeks ago ordered some roast chicken in Sunset Way.  Not nearly as nice as Changi Rd but they did serve a bowl of salt and pepper along with it.

I asked about it and was told they make it themselves.

Well I'm not so sure they do.

 

But anyway anyone have any idea where I might buy a carton of this Salt and Pepper spice.

 

It's not quite the same as Seah's Pepper/Salt Prawn Spice mix.

Just try to experiment yourself lor.

 

It's probably Wu xiang + salt + pepper +- other spices.

 

Chinese cooking not much powders/grinded spices

Lol i dunno why you want to question this.

If i make it myself and it's cheaper than buying a commercial mix that everyone else can buy, why not ...

 

I'm sure a hawker's first thought will be "can i make it myself (or is it worth the effort to make it myself) " ...

Thanks I'll have a look out for it.

 

I see the ingredients are:

 

Salt, White Pepper Powder, Maltodextrin, MSG, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Food Additives from Plant Origin

 

I'm not good with MSG but I'll try it.

When in Taiwan I used to buy this or similar brand (less than SG$5) - '真好家-Salt & Pepper Powder'

Use it for favouring Guava, Fried Mushroom, etc

 

Can try buy online  -    https://24h.pchome.com.tw/store/DBAIBU

or  find them in some Taiwanese Supermarket in Singapore.

The salt must be lightly toasted.

 

haha u don't need to toast salt. It just becomes dry. U can toast whole spices/cracked pepper. But the powder no need to toast.
