Impossible Pork will premiere at 120 S’pore restaurants, including Tim Ho Wan – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

Not to kill, but to nurture and sustain food choices. California’s Impossible Foods unveiled its pork alternative today in Singapore (November 18).

Famous restaurants like Tunglok Signatures, Tim Ho Wan, New Ubin Seafood, De Paolo and Straits Chinese Nonya Restaurant will offer Impossible Pork dishes.

Even bak kwa chain Fragrance has created his own version of bak kwa made with Impossible Pork.

“Pork is the second meat consumed in Singapore, and is the focus of many of our favorite recipes,” said Laurent Stevenart, the country’s director of Impossible Foods in Singapore.

“Impossible Pork repeats the taste and juices of pork and is preferred by consumers, but it is much more sustainable. We are pleased to meet so many fantastic restaurants and chefs to showcase the versatility of the product,” he added.

What is Impossible Pork made of?

“Pork” is a combination of soy protein concentrate, coconut oil and sunflower oil. It also contains soy leghemoglobin, a vegetable protein that contains heme, which gives the product a “meaty” flavor.

Compared to conventional pig farming, manufacturing vegetable-based meat it uses significantly less water and land. It also emits 77 percent less greenhouse gases.

It is also less fat, with a meat and fat ratio of 70:30. Compared to real pork, Impossible Pork is said to have more protein, calories and cholesterol.

What dishes can I try?

Tim Ho Wan will serve Impossible Pork on his dim sum dishes, while New Ubin Seafood will serve it in a clay bowl with brinjal.

Tunglok Signatures is selling Impossible Pork served with pancakes and fresh fruit ($ 12.80). There is also Impossible Cracker (S $ 12.00), thin slices of meat and Impossible Pork in spicy sauce (S $ 13.00 or S $ 26.00).

The Paolo Group is selling Impossible Pork Pizza ($ 35.00 S), including sautéed mushrooms and roasted tomato sauce.

Other pork alternatives on the market include Singapore’s early Karana pork jackfruit, Hong Kong OmniFoods ’OmniMeat and Los Angeles’ Beyond Meat sausages.
