Seems like the white bee hoon trend in Singapore isn’t quite dying out yet as I’m seeing new stalls popping up in the neighbourhood again. I must say I’m not really a big fan of white bee hoon because I’ve yet to try one that comes with a robust-tasting broth that is rich in natural […]
My last eat-venture in Hanoi was a very rewarding and inspiring experience. When I came home, I couldn’t wait to kick off my cooking experiments. Wanted to recreate those lovely Viet dishes I had while the tastes and flavours were still fresh in the mind. One of the dishes that left a deep impression on […]
This Crab Pasta Salad Recipe was inspired by the Onion Raita I made earlier. Like what I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the raita is a very flexible side dish which you can eat with biryani or use it as a salad dressing like what I’ve done here. Normally when we buy Greek yogurt from […]
Was in the Novena area recently as I was craving for my favourite Pork Rib Prawn Noodle from Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. I love it because the soup is always so robust-tasting and flavoursome. And they also serve up a delicious assortment of fried ngoh hiang which you can pair with your noodles. Yum. That […]
This Tea Rice Recipe is inspired by the Japanese Tea Rice (or ochazuke) that I had at NTUC Foodfare @ Khoo Teck Puat Hospital some time back. It’s a soupy, hearty and comforting meal which is something that I like to have every now and then. Needless to say, it is extremely healthy too especially when […]
My energy level has been really low in recent weeks. It’s just this feeling of malaise and fatigue that refuses to go away. And it doesn’t help that I keep wanting to fall asleep in the day and yet I’m still not able to sleep properly at night. Also, there have been frequent bouts of […]
Was doing my weekly grocery shopping at NTUC Fairprice and I came across this housebrand Sar Hor Fun (沙河粉) which I hadn’t cooked with before so I bought one packet to try out. This is different from the usual fresh ones that I buy from the market because this hor fun comes in dried form […]
Fried rice has always been one of my specialty dishes as it was the first dish that my late Granny taught me how to make when I was a little kid. That’s probably why this easy-to-make rice dish always tastes so special to me – it’s a familiar taste of home, love and joy. I’m […]
No, it’s not Fried Rice Noodles. It is Fried Rice with Noodles which is a combination of both fried rice and fried noodles in one. I’m not sure how I got the idea to do something like this but I just remember coming across this dish somewhere before. Anyway, I made this dish Asian-style like […]
This Spicy Fried Spaghetti Recipe is almost similar to my Mee Goreng Recipe except that spaghetti noodles are used instead of the regular thick yellow noodles. I actually prefer the former for this dish because it doesn’t have the same alkaline flavour as the thick yellow noodles. And if you cook the spaghetti al dente, […]
The char siew pork used for this recipe is super easy to make as it doesn’t involve any roasting of meat. Simply marinate thinly sliced pork (those pre-packed for shabu shabu will be ideal) and stir fry them in the pan which will only take a few minutes to cook. Of course, you can use […]
Char kway teow is basically stir fried flat rice noodles with typical ingredients like lup cheong (Chinese sausage), prawns, beansprouts, etc. The Penang-style char kway teow is similar to our local Hokkien-style char kway teow (click on the link for recipe) except no sweet soy sauce is used. As lup cheong releases oil when fried, […]
Turmeric is one of my favourite Asian spices. Not only it gives food a nice bright yellow colour, it also has a lot of medicinal benefits (can treat bloating, gas and upset stomach, etc) and anti-inflammatory properties. However, besides being used in curries, turmeric is not something that we would just eat on its own, […]
I wanted to buy sour cream initially to make this Mushroom Stroganoff but couldn’t get any in time from the supermarket near me. While I could have gotten yogurt as a replacement, I thought I would try making the creamy sauce with silken tofu instead. It’s healthy and definitely lower in fat. In fact, I […]
This Pan-Fried Chicken with Honey Chilli Sauce Recipe is a quick and easy chicken pasta meal to make. Perfect if you’re cooking for two or just for yourself. The Honey Chilli sauce not only flavours and moistens the chicken breast but it also acts as a dressing for the spaghetti. Overall, the dish is quite […]
Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! ???? It’s also the start of a long weekend, woohoo! Going to head to the shops this morning to finish up some Christmas shopping and also to stock up on food and drinks for our weekend movie nights though I’ve already done two rounds of this, lol. This is the kind of […]
