The Mini Sam Tan Kitchen is Moving to New York!

Dearest foodies,

Just a quick note to share that after 2 great years cooking/baking and sharing recipes from my London flat, The Mini Sam Tan Kitchen will now be moving to NYC as I have been accepted into the Actors Studio Drama School MFA programme!

I am currently doing all I can to raise the fees I need (check out my official fundraising site at http://myasdsfund.wordpress.com/), and as a part of these efforts I am holding an online bake sale with several new items not previously available on the Goodies list. Please do check the list out below if cake is your kind of thing :)

In the meantime, if there are any foodies reading this in New York and would like to share their favourite haunts (I have been given a huge list by friends already- honestly worried for my health once I get there haha) please do hit me back, I'd love to hear from fellow lovers of all things delicious!

Happy eating y'all!

Regards,
Samantha Tan

Free of the colouring and preservatives usually present in mass-produced versions,
this delicious
favourite of Malaysians (a

"long yoke")
is home-marinated and charcoal-smoked until the perfect
sticky-
sweet-salty
flavour and texture is achieved. A Chinese New Year staple!

Fah Sang Peng (Peanut Cookies)-

proper way
with ground whole peanuts (none of this peanut butter business)

A version of the family favourite Mum taught me growing up! :) A crunchy and

with the added bite of sweet raisins

Mini Honey Cornflake Cups- £6 per box of 30, or £10 for 2 boxes
Delectable little bitesize bundles of cornflakes coated in a buttery honey caramel, then baked

  2. Samantha or Sam, which one do you prefer? Welcome to the fold and I shall be following you from now on ;)
    I need to get some help first (distribution wise) if I'm to order a cake from you although the cookies sound perfect for solo bingeing!

    Hehe Sam, Sammie, Samantha, Sam Tan... anything's fine. Cakes are easily sliced you know, just as good for solo bingeing (everyday for about a week)! :)

  19. Hi, Love the photos of the baked cheesecakes. I've tried some of your recipes & they produced the desired results :) I check your website every now and then for updates, though your posts are few, but the recipes have been reliably good. If I live in London, I'd definitely order some of your cakes for myself, they look so deliciously homemade! Keep up the posts.

  20. Thanks for your kind words Anonymous! Yes I'm afraid I'm not posting as often as I should, been really busy of late but am definitely going to try harder to keep 'em coming!

    Happy cooking! x

  23. Hi Samantha. Just saw your blog. Welcome to the great city of New York. Would love to order some cakes from you when you are not too busy with school. I work not too far from Pace University. Give me a shout if you need any help, there aren't too many of us DJians around here. Is Arivind in town as well?
