Artisanal sausages are on the rise in Singapore; our foodie columnist Beate lets you know where to find the most succulent sausages in Singapore, mama

Sausages – that BBQ staple, the stuff of coveted childhood dinners. Artisanal sausages that use whole cuts of meat (none of the unidentifiable nasties, MSG, fillers and undesirable cuts) have come a long way from a ‘cheap’ meat. From gourmet dinner party worthy sausages of Italian Pork and Fennel, to Kids’ Lunchbox friendly-Wienerli – we’ve rounded up our pick of the best sausages in Singapore. If you previously ran a mile when you heard ‘chicken sausage’ fear not, we have even found tasty (antibiotic- and hormone-free) chicken sausages to be proud of. And the best part? They are all MSG free.

We’ve also got some brilliant sausage recipe ideas and sauces including some of our no-sugar homemade ketchup – scroll down for the recipe! Your kids will thank you.

Making your own ketchup is super easy and you can be smug in the knowledge they are actually just getting more good stuff in them. We make a batch of this up and put it into a sterilised Heinz bottle and our little darlings are none the wiser. Shhhh!

  • small pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
