Singapore food party

1 of husband's friend suggested for me to prepare a Singapore food party
So, i started research on Singaporean food recipes
while husband complains that i never made Singaporean food at home
it is difficult to identify the national dish of singapore
That does not clash with south east asia or asia..
with limited ingredients in Paris and my limited skills..

Anyway, i have identify a possible menu
nothing too strange to scare the french and do-able..

Starter - Bite size curry puffs (spicy) and sardine puffs
I guess curry puffs can be considered related to Singapore
I was surprised that the pastry was quite simple to make
The outcome was good in terms of taste but i guess i need to practice on the wrapping
I tried to bake for a healthier version
but realised that frying them taste better
husband said that baking taste more like a pastry and frying makes it unique






Main - Hainanese chicken rice with oyster sauce veg and tofu?
Although joyce brought the instant hainanese pack from Singapore
I decided to cook it without the instant pack
but i used the chilli and ginger sauce for husband to taste the unique sauces
the chicken seems to be too small that it didnt have the fats that should accompany the skin
husband loved the dish and was wondering why i didnt cook it earlier
Anyway, i was supposed to cook with ginger , which i didnt have..
and need start to try to make the sauces..



Not sure what is good to go with the chicken rice 
i can only remember that oyster sauce veg can be ordered along the dish in singapore
so i guess i will make a veg with oyster sauce as a side

husband will like a tofu dish for his friends to try
buit sadly, the tofu i made seems more chinese dish than Singapore dish
I need to think what tofu to make

Dessert - Tao suan and Sweet beancurd
im gonna try provide 2 desserts in case the texture turns anyone off
I guess these are the simplest to make but i need pandan leaves for tao suan!
Guess i need go search for possible pandan flavor in shops

I hope no ones ends up in food poisoning..
