In the Land of Tempeh


I have a new love. It’s moldy, and chewy, and oh so delicious.

One thing I learned on my trip, in addition to the fact that you can’t buy gum in Singapore unless it’s nicoret gum to stop smoking, is that tempeh originates in Indonesia.

I wrote the following haiku for tempeh

Tempeh: the other Tofu
Perplexing flavors
Fermented soybean patty
Protein of my dreams
