If you’re a fan of Korean food, you should be very familiar with the bibimbap. It’s a scrumptious rice bowl with assorted vegetables, meat and egg (check out my Korean Bibimbap Recipe). Toss everything up with some kimchi and gochujang and eat it like a mixed rice – just like how those Korean stars in […]
Roasted a huge slab of pork belly earlier (click here for my Crispy Roast Pork Recipe) as I wanted to use the extras to create a few other dishes. In the end, there weren’t a lot of leftovers to make use of because the roast pork itself was so addictive, we couldn’t stop eating it, […]
Earlier I have posted a Peanut Muah Chee Recipe which I regard as a healthier version because it uses less oil and less sugar. And now I’m sharing this other ‘less healthy but more aromatic’ Peanut Sesame Muah Chee Recipe. This recipe is inspired by the peanut and sesame muah chee from Hougang 6 Miles […]
Had some sea cucumber left after making Braised Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms earlier. Thought I would make Stir Fried Sea Cucumber this time so you can see how versatile it is. The sea cucumber is soft and gelatinous when braised but it is springy with a bite when stir-fried. We don’t really eat sea cucumber all the […]
One of my all-time favourite snacks to eat since my childhood days. It was a must-get for me whenever I came across a pasar malam or muah chee stall. But since I started making muah chee at home a few years back, I no longer buy any from outside because it’s really easy and cheap […]
Been a while since I last had salt baked chicken at Lam’s which has outlets all over Singapore such as Marina Square, Race Course Road, Causeway Point, Parkway Parade, Toa Payoh, Waterway Point, ION Orchard and West Mall. An unassuming dish at first glance but the key lies in that robust-tasting broth that’s really packed with a […]
The vast selection of goods and services on Qoo10 is simply amazing. It’s like a marketplace for literally anything and everything. Not just fashion wear, furniture, gadgets and electronics but dining vouchers, groceries, fresh & frozen food too. Previously I had bought a packet of Abalone with Shell from Seafood Shifu on Qoo10 and made this […]
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 […]
If you can only eat one dish in Hanoi, make sure it’s the bun cha. The smokiness of the slightly charred grilled pork is always so intoxicating. Needless to say, moreish too. I’ve had two very good bun cha at Bun Cha 34 and Bun Cha Huong Lien (made famous by former US President Barack […]
It’s all about Vietnamese food so I will be sharing three Vietnamese recipes this week. If you’ve missed my Xoi Xeo Recipe (sticky rice with mung beans and fried shallots) earlier, click on the link to check it out. Today, I’m sharing how to make another ONE OF THE BEST things I’ve eaten in Hanoi […]
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 […]
Raita is a common side dish that’s typically served with biryani in Indian cuisine. It’s an unassuming side dish made with either vegetables, pulses or fruits and then mixed with yogurt before seasoning it. I’ve not really paid a lot of attention to the raita previously because I don’t eat it often enough. But I […]
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 […]
When J wanted to check out a new property recently, it just suddenly dawned on me that we are about to hit the 5-year MOP for our current flat. Probably not a good time to move yet. The Thomson-East Coast MRT Line will be ready by 2020 and that may just bring up the value […]
