By tapping Tanglin Cookhouse’s production kitchen, Tang now has a potential way to increase production without having to invest in a central kitchen of his own.<\/p>\n
“It opens another door for me,” he said. “It gives me more flexibility to explore different options.”<\/p>\n
The partnership could also pave the way for Tang to finally sell one of Ka-Soh’s most-requested items through his home-based business. Since Tanglin Cookhouse’s production kitchen now knows how to prepare his prawn paste chicken, he’s exploring the possibility of offering frozen packs after the collaboration ends.<\/p>\n
“That’s still in testing, but it’s something I have in mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Making frozen fish soup is no small feat. Producing a batch of around 20 packs takes about 10 hours, from cleaning fish bones and simmering the broth to cooling, packing and vacuum-sealing the soup. He also personally handles marketing, customer service and deliveries. He currently sells about 100 packs each month.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the long hours, he said he enjoys it.<\/span><\/p>\n “To be honest, it’s to have something to do for myself,” he admitted.<\/span><\/p>\n “I didn’t want to go back into the rat race, the corporate world. Continuing the family business was a convenient excuse. Of course, I hope it leads somewhere,”\u00a0said the former PR executive.<\/span><\/p>\n The business has also given him the chance to reconnect with longtime customers through deliveries and conversations, something he says he missed while running a busy restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n For now, he is in no hurry to open a permanent outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I don’t want to do something that’s very short term. Our brand has been around for more than 80 years. [Operating for just] three years is just a drop in the bucket,” he said.<\/p>\n With rents remaining high, Tang said he’s content to keep exploring collaborations while waiting for the right opportunity to take Ka-Soh’s next step.<\/p>\n Asked what he hopes Ka-Soh will become in the next few years, Tang laughed.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t really know. I think you just need to be like a cockroach and refuse to die.<\/p>\n “You have to be a certain level of delulu to continue being in F&B. Sometimes delulu is the solulu (internet phrase meaning delusion is the solution).”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n By tapping Tanglin Cookhouse’s production kitchen, Tang now has a potential way to increase production without having to invest in a central kitchen of his…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67302,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dam.mediacorp.sg\/image\/upload\/s--i2SfeVg7--\/c_crop,h_404,w_719,x_1,y_354\/c_fill,g_auto,h_676,w_1200\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1\/mediacorp\/cna\/image\/2026\/07\/09\/ka_soh_tanglin_cookhouse_pop_up.jpg?itok=HfuGNw5E","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[5361,3808,1917,979,2382,26220,6141,249,1893,2648,2792],"class_list":["post-67301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-news-sg-global","tag-char","tag-eatery","tag-famed","tag-fish","tag-heritage","tag-kasoh","tag-limitedtime","tag-noodle","tag-popup","tag-returns","tag-soup","wpcat-2-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/67302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
