Eat this plant-based alternative, you may find it in your next dumpling

Impossible Foods' latest meat-free products have been launched in restaurants in Singapore. The company known for producing Impossible beef has launched Impossible Pork, plant-based pork, which claims to be more delicious and healthier than the real deal. 

Similar to the beef version, Impossible pork is mainly made from soybeans, coconut oil and sunflower oil. It contains soy bean hemoglobin-a vegetable protein that carries heme. According to the company, heme is an iron-rich molecule, and when you take a bite of a meat product, it will give you a "meat flavor". Compared with traditional pork, Impossible Pork provides the same amount of protein as meat, contains no cholesterol, reduces saturated fat by one-third, contains more iron and fewer calories. It also wins in terms of sustainability: it uses less water and land than conventional pork production, and it generates 70% less greenhouse gas emissions.

Since November 18th, Impossible Pork has been launched in 120 restaurants in Singapore. Since pork is the cornerstone of Asian cuisine in Singapore, it is not surprising that this new product has been adopted by many restaurants due to its versatility. Some participating restaurants include Cantonese cuisine Tim Ho Wan, Xin Wu Min Seafood and Da Paulo. Tim Ho Wan will add this product to its dim sum, and New Ubin Seafood will pair it with eggplant dishes in its clay pot rice. Da Paolo's will showcase new products in the pepperoni pasta. Other restaurants joining the plant-based party include Straits Chinese Nyonya Restaurant, Cinnamon Chain Fragrance and Burger Restaurant Sanbao. 

If you want to taste some of Impossible Pork's creativity, you can go to the Chinese restaurant Empress in the Asian Civilization Museum. Meat substitutes are found in some iconic dishes in Shanghai and Zhejiang, such as Xiaolongbao, pork and chive pancakes, and braised Dongpo pork belly.

Impossible pork also enters PS.Cafe, where it becomes a meatloaf, mashed with panko breadcrumbs similar to Japanese katsu, then placed between two grilled hamburgers, and topped with miso sauce, lime and cabbage salad.

Another joint that successfully copied the anatomical structure of a pig into its plate is Privé. In terms of texture, the Impossible Pork BBQ Ribs skewers are similar to the familiar chunks of meatballs, minus the chopped texture usually associated with barbecue ribs.

However, for Muslims, the consumption of Impossible Pork is still discouraged. Although the product contains zero animal products, it has not passed the halal certification. Currently, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has advised Muslims not to consume the product until it is reviewed accordingly.

The old Changi Hospital will become an observatory. Residents of Taman Jurong can take the road on the new 5.6 km bike path. This new online bakery sells Thai-influenced pies made by Asian chef finalists
