Ok, I wouldn’t really call this a recipe as it only involves putting two ingredients into the oven. A bottle of ikan bilis (dried anchovies) with peanuts is something that I always have in the pantry as I like to sprinkle them over plain porridge or vegetable stir-fry. I’m quite fussy about what type of […]

If you’ve been to Marché in Singapore, you’d probably have tried their popular rosti, served either plain or with smoked salmon or a sausage of your choice. I’m a big fan of potato rosti and I could never forget the best one I had in Switzerland that came in a frying pan with a really […]

Earlier when I went to Fassler (the salmon factory at Woodlands Loop), I bought two big packs (2 kg worth) of salmon belly and so happened that I came across a Salmon Belly Miso Soup Recipe by food editor Tan Hsueh Yun in The Sunday Times, I decided to give the recipe a try. Salmon Belly […]

I love Teochew style steamed fish (see my cod fish recipe here) because it was a dish that I grew up eating as my Granny who’s Teochew used to make it really often when I was little. Likewise, every time I visited my in-laws in Essex, England, my mum-in-law would cook the Cantonese style of steamed […]

I had reviewed DoDo’s new fish luncheon product a couple of days ago (click here to read) so this is the other recipe that I came up with by using up the remaining fischeon I had. This fried rice was definitely much better than the pasta in my opinion as the fischeon here played second […]

Besides creamy white sauce pasta, aglio olio (‘garlic & oil’) is another of my favourite. I love the garlic-infused olive oil that’s so fragrant yet I don’t find it greasy at all. Adding a little knob of butter will give that extra kick when you dig into this spaghetti. So easy to prep, so easy […]

After learning of this DoDo’s new product through its launch campaign a while back, I bought a can from the supermarket out of curiosity just to find out how DoDo fischeon would taste like as compared to luncheon meat. ‘Fischeon’ simply means ‘Fish Luncheon’. It is available in 3 flavours: Original, Cheese and Black Pepper […]

One thing I like about having steamboat for CNY reunion dinner is that the unfinished ingredients can always be chilled again for later use so nothing goes to waste. And instead of having a second steamboat the next day, we can turn the leftovers to fresh new dishes again like this steamed prawns recipe. Steamed […]

I bought a slab of shark fillet from the supermarket without any idea on how to cook it. In fact, I had only eaten shark a few times and didn’t have much of a good impression of it but I couldn’t resist buying it as it looked fresh and meaty and it wasn’t expensive too. […]

The last time when I injured my foot, my Chinese doctor recommended me to eat more steamed salmon (instead of raw or fried ones) to help with the inflammation and to improve bone density and strength so I prepared this easy steamed salmon dish 2-3 days per week for dinner till my foot condition was […]

The only time when I really enjoyed eating fish balls was probably during my primary school days when I’d order fish ball noodles soup at recess time. Over the years, I seemed to have lost interest in these balls that I used to like because the commercial ones have added flour and don’t taste of […]

It is patty-making time again! And this time, I’m using prawns instead of meat. Prawns get cooked really fast so it only takes about 2 minutes to pan-fry these patties. The water chestnuts add crunch to the patties and the sesame seeds just give them a lovely nutty flavour. Simply light and delicious nibbles! Sesame […]

When I first tried making this salmon using the Happy Call Pan, it was a disaster as the marinate burnt and hence affected the appearance of the salmon too. This time round, I decided to pop the salmon into the oven to broil it. I was actually worried that the salmon might become too dry […]

I love fish fingers when I was of schooling age as it is easy and quick to prepare them. Just pop in the oven for minutes and you’d get crispy, golden brown fish fingers. Eat with sweet chilli sauce. Makes an absolutely yummy snack. This recipe is made with my leftover sutchi fish fillets and […]

The family has the tendency to stock up on canned abalones every Chinese New Year especially when there’s a deal so whenever we need to celebrate any occasion at home, a can of abalone is always readily available for cooking. I used to like abalone a lot because it was something that we only eat […]

I think it’s a joy to be able to cook for people so I often invite the parents over for dinners and would whip up an assortment of Chinese dishes to fit their different taste buds. This Prawn & Fish Cakes with Long Beans is one dish that my Dad really likes even though he […]
