This is a collection of my best easy dessert recipes in 2016 that includes a mix of Western, Asian, Chinese & Fusion creations. Made of simple (easy-to-find) ingredients with uncomplicated steps so you can try these sweet treats at home anytime. They are very suitable for tea parties and entertaining too. 😉 Most if not […]

Ondeh ondeh is one of my all-time favourite Nyonya desserts. It’s actually a boiled glutinous rice ball filled with molten gula melaka (coconut palm sugar) and coated with crunchy grated coconut. The hero of the dessert has got to be the gula melaka so buy the best type you can find. Geylang Serai market is […]

This sweet treat recipe is inspired by the Banana Fritters with Chocolate & Cheese that’s sold at the pasar malam here in Singapore. The only difference is that there’s no deep frying involved for this recipe as I just want to keep this a little lighter and healthier which is also a great way to […]

I finally made my own chapatis (successfully)! Before this, I was still using those frozen chapatis from the supermarket for convenience. They were tasty but they contained preservatives which I didn’t really like. Actually it wasn’t really difficult to make chapatis from scratch. My first two attempts didn’t turn out well because I didn’t knead […]

Made a fusion-style meatloaf using Asian spices. That ‘yellow’ colour came from the ground turmeric used which also imparted a lovely aroma to the meatloaf. After plating the dish up, I realised the colours were (unintentionally) that of traffic lights – red, green & yellow. Anyway, I chose to keep all the sides clean and […]

Happy Boxing Day! After a weekend of festive feasting, it’s time to detox the system with a healthy yogurt parfait recipe like this which is made up of layers of rolled oats, fruits and yogurt with various toppings. You can basically use any ingredients you like. Healthy ones would of course include berries, dried fruits, […]

Got the inspiration from Pinterest when I saw beautiful pics of these roll ups and thought I would try making them as well. Have added this to my list of recipes that turn stale, day-old bread into delicious treats which is definitely a great way to minimise food waste. 😉 I had rolled out each […]

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 […]

I haven’t been cooking a lot these 2 months as I’ve been away most of the time (I’m in Malaysia now! Haha) but luckily I have a huge backlog of recipes (‘cos I cooked too much and couldn’t blog about everything in time, oops) to share. Will be rolling out a series of travel & […]

This is a fusion dish inspired by the Korean seafood pancake and the Swiss rösti. Instead of using just regular potatoes, I added in sweet potatoes as well to give the pancakes some natural sweetness. If you like, you can also use scallops and lump crab meat besides squids and prawns. I made a lighter […]

This Pork Collar with Crispy Garlic Sauce is an adaptation of my Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce (蒜泥白肉) Recipe which is suitable for those who don’t like the spicy and pungent flavour of raw garlic. After the garlic has been fried in oil, its flavour becomes milder and sweeter. Also, it kinda resembles crushed potato […]

I shared my Spicy Fish Floss Recipe last week which was inspired by my Granny’s Nyonya-style fish floss. It’s a very versatile side dish that you can make in bulk in advance and then store the rest in containers (chilled) for later use. Try adding them to fried rice, noodles and sandwiches or even whip […]

I haven’t had a good Fried Assam Prawn dish for a long time until when I visited Makko Teck Neo at Telok Blangah Rise which served up homey Peranakan fare. Really reminded me of Granny’s cooking as she used to make similar assam (a.k.a. tamarind) prawns when I was little so I decided to recreate […]

I must say I’ve had an enjoyable time in the kitchen this year, re-inventing classic recipes, experimenting with different cuisines and trying out new cooking techniques. And with my new discovery of amazing flavours from all my eat-ventures and travels, I’m just so inspired to whip up more tasty dishes in the time to come. […]

Two weeks ago, I had posted the pre-order information for Bake & Celebrate: Cookies and Treats that will be out in stores very soon. This recipe book is a collection of 42 recipes for delectable cookies and treats that are contributed by selected top food & lifestyle bloggers and instagrammers from Singapore and the region. […]

My late granny used to make fish floss (she called it ‘her hu’ in Teochew) a lot when I was little because my father loved fishing then and every weekend he would come home with a huge catch of fish like sea bass and snapper. I really missed those moments when the kitchen would be […]
