How to cook restaurant quality at home? ›

A cook is a professional individual who prepares items for consumption in the food industry, especially in settings such as restaurants.

Food Republic (Chinese: 大食代; pinyin: Dàshídài) is a food court chain run by the BreadTalk Group based in Singapore.

In addition to the quality of ingredients, restaurants often use more seasoning and spices than the average home cook. This is because professional chefs have a deep understanding of flavor profiles and how to use different spices and seasonings to create complex and unique dishes.

A skillet, sometimes referred to as a frying pan or a frypan, is a shallow pan with slanted sides. Skillets are commonly used to stir-fry or sauté, which refers to a method of cooking in which ingredients are cooked quickly in a small amount of oil or fat, often over relatively high heat.

The word sauté is based on the French word sauter, which means "to jump." Sautéed chicken is cooked in an open, shallow pan, using a small amount of oil or butter over fairly high heat.

To saute is to cook food over high heat, usually in butter or oil. Many recipes begin by instructing you to saute onions and garlic in olive oil. You can saute vegetables, meat, fish, or tofu. The quick, hot method of cooking browns the outer layer of food and keeps the inside flavorful.

With the acquisition, BreadTalk Group will take over 12 Food Junction outlets here, in addition to the 14 food courts it already operates under the Food Republic and Food Opera brands.

The brand has revolutionised the local food court scene by being the first to introduce the quintessential thematic food atrium experience, bringing together the best of hawker and restaurant fare under a single roof.

Is Singapore food same as Chinese? ›

Singaporean cuisine is as ethnically diverse as its people, blending Malay, Chinese, Indonesian, Indian and western influences. A visit to one of the hawker centres or shopping mall food courts will be as eye-opening as gastronomically gratifying.

Professional chefs must create food that is surprising, challenging, and that provides a new perspective or experience. Their goal is entertainment. The home cook must create food that is pleasing, but accessible, comprehensible, and digestible, to avoid offense and discomfort.

Ingredient Quality

The fresher and less traveled your produce, meat and fish are, the better flavor you'll get, and the more nutritional value they'll retain. This goes for everything, not just produce. Think about your vinegars, oils, herbs and spices as well.
