Street Food

Take humble street food and elevate it with bold plating, modern techniques, and premium twists. UFS chefs have mastered the recipe and

product solutions to help you reimagine street classics with elevated flavour, style, and consistency.

Shrimp Bisque Crispy Noodles

Shrimp Bisque Crispy Noodles

A refined riff on Filipino palabok. Deep-fried rice noodles bring the crunch, while a shrimp bisque – thickened with roux, amped with smoked mackerel – is poured tableside for dramatic effect. Finished with shiitake chicharon and togarashi, it’s bold, creamy, and irresistibly umami.

South African Lamb and Apricot Sosaties

South African Lamb and Apricot Sosaties

Cape Malay soul, braai-style. Lamb leg is marinated in apricot jam, chutney, curry, and spice, then skewered with onions and soaked apricots. Cooked over an open flame, it’s smoky, sweet, and steeped in South African tradition – a skewer that tells a story.

BORDERLESS CUISINE

  
TREND 2: BORDERLESS CUISINE

Global flavours, local flair. This trend is all about cultural fusion – exciting, familiar-yet-new combinations that bring the world to your menu. UFS recipes and product solutions help you blend global influences with local favourites, creating bold, on-trend dishes that surprise and delight your diners.

Spicy Asian-Glazed Fried Chicken & Waffles

Spicy Asian-Glazed Fried Chicken & Waffles

Crispy meets sticky. Juicy fried chicken glazed in gochujang and soy sits atop golden waffles, finished with maple mayo. With a mango-pineapple salsa on the side, it’s sweet, spicy, and ready to surprise.

Steamed Lightly Salted White Fish

Steamed Lightly Salted White Fish with Fire-Roasted Salsa

Verde, Fries and Gremolata Aioli Bright, bold, and balanced. Lightly brined cod gets the steam treatment, served with a roasted salsa verde of green tomatoes and poblano. Add crispy fries and gremolata-laced aioli – it’s clean comfort with a cross-cultural crunch.

CULINARY ROOTS

  
TREND 3: CULINARY ROOTS

Lesser-known regional cuisines take the spotlight, celebrating indigenous ingredients and techniques while staying true to their cultural heritage. UFS recipe inspiration and product solutions help you honour tradition while creating dishes that resonate with today’s diners!

Deep-Fried Sliced Fish with Peri-Peri Oil

Deep-Fried Sliced Fish with Peri-Peri Oil

Crispy, spicy, and irresistible. This Sichuan-style dish swaps beef for tender fish, marinated in garlic and ginger, then deep-fried low and slow for perfect texture. Drenched in rich peri-peri oil, it’s a fiery plate that brings heat, tradition, and innovation in every bite.

Grilled Aubergine Stuffed with Marinated Chicken

Grilled Aubergine Stuffed with Marinated Chicken

A modern take on a timeless technique. This bold starter pairs grilled aubergines with miso-infused chicken escabeche, blending Spanish preservation tradition with layers of Asian umami. Think vinegar, cinnamon, anise, and sesame — served ambient or cold for a dish packed with aromatic depth.

DINER DESIGNER

  
TREND 4: DINER DESIGNER

Personalised, interactive dining experiences are on the rise, with guests becoming part of the meal-making journey. UFS recipes, inspiration, and product solutions empower you, the chef, to create immersive, multisensory moments that feel unique, memorable, and made to order!

Coconut Peanut Sauce

Coconut Peanut Sauce

Nutty, creamy, and packed with punch! This Vietnamese-inspired dip layers peanut butter, coconut cream, and Knorr Professional Chicken Stock Granules for deep, savoury flavour. Finished with lime, sesame oil, mayo, and crushed peanuts – it’s sweet, spicy, and perfect for drizzling or dipping.

Curry Kapitan Mayo

Curry Kapitan Mayo

A bold Malaysian twist! Creamy meets curry in this Malaysianinspired dish. Fragrant curry paste spiked with Robertsons Turmeric blended into rich mayo for heat and depth. Finished with lime and sugar – it’s a flavour bomb for wraps, salads, and grilled meats.
