We’ve decided to do a short series on Singapore Eats. Singapore is a food capital of Asia. We’re a food-obsessed bunch and food is the center of everything. Because of our ethnic diversity, Singapore is lucky to have local foods influenced by the Chinese, Malay, Indians and Eurasian communities in Singapore.

After the success of the recent scallion pancakes, I thought I’d try to make a variation on the scallion pancakes called Murtabak. Murtabak, which is spiced mutton (or lamb) filled dough is something i grew up with in Singapore. Back at home in Singapore, people eat this for breakfast or lunch. Each dough is filled with an egg, raw onions and ground spiced mutton. This is usually served with a fish or chicken curry. Simply divine!

Here in Singapore, this is how Murtabak is served. I could eat platefuls of these!
