Inspired by one of my favourite dishes, Sambal Goreng (fried tempeh, firm tofu & long beans in a spicy sambal paste) which we can always get from any nasi padang stall. Instead of using long beans, I substituted with broccoli florets instead and added an extra touch of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and sweet […]

This stir fried pasta dish is similar to my Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti Recipe except that I have used macaroni as my choice of pasta. If you like oglio olio (spaghetti with garlic & oil) and don’t mind a little tang and heat, you are likely to enjoy this macaroni recipe as it has a great […]

This is another rendition of my Egg, Bacon & Avocado Salad Recipe that I just made up on the spot the other day for lunch after I came back from gym. While I decided to keep the hard-boiled egg in this, I substituted the bacon with firm tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans) hence making this a […]

What do pizzas, cheese burgers, lasagne, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese steak and nachos fries (oh boy, the list just goes on doesn’t it?) have in common? Yes, they are all CHEESY foods. If I’d name an ingredient which I think would be the world’s best invention, I’d have to say it’s cheese. It’s […]

Created another new recipe in the kitchen today when I was looking through some of my older recipes and thought I’d make a non-carb version of this Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti. Off went the pasta and I used a whole pack of crunchy sugar snap peas which I loved. Somehow I just thought garlic, […]

Today is Diwali (also known as Deepavali, The Festival of Lights) and I just want to wish all my Hindu readers, a very Happy Deepavali! Suddenly felt inspired to share this Tandoori Chicken Recipe when I was meddling with my spice rack in the kitchen earlier. This doesn’t look like your usual red-coloured tandoori chicken? […]

It is probably easiest to just buy bottled or packet sauces from the supermarket but most of the times, we can actually use some of our cooking essentials to create an equally flavoursome marinate sauce for meats. In this Grilled Chicken Recipe, oyster sauce and honey do the trick so you’d get this slightly sticky coating […]

I absolutely adored this fried rice not only because the salmon was crispy but because the salmon imparted a wonderful aroma to the rice without making it taste fishy. The crunch from the lotus root and french beans simply added more textures too. And I chose brown rice over white rice for its high fibre and low-GI properties. An easy […]

I ditched the minced pork from my Braised Mushrooms Minced Meat Noodles (Bak Chor Mee) Recipe and swapped with chicken breast meat to come up with my version of Chic Chor Mee. Similarly, I did not use any pork lard and since there is only a lean protein of chicken breast, this is definitely an even more healthier […]

After my very successful attempt to make Salt-Roasted Chicken with Seah’s Spices prepacked spice mix, I was very eager to try out another one. The husband loves our Singapore’s local version of bak kut teh a lot because of its intense peppery flavour hence I decided to make this for dinner. Normally I’d prefer Malaysia’s version of BKT […]

Recently I had been experimenting with Thai food again like pad thai, tom yum soup and this very appetising salad which I had it on its own as a light brunch. The aromatic and pungent smell of the ginger was balanced out by the sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavours of the other components in the […]

Another easy chicken recipe perfect for a weeknight dinner! This time, I cooked chicken with mushrooms in a tangy, fresh tomato based sauce and added dried thyme for that additional aroma. You can serve this with rice, mashed potatoes or crusty bread. It’s one dish with multiple options. Simple and clean flavours, easy and cheap to […]

I was out grocery shopping with Godma earlier when she mentioned to me that she had made an excellent Emperor Herbs Chicken using prepacked spice mix from Seah’s Spices brand. She made it sound so good so I also bought a few varieties of spices to try at home. I started with making Salt-Roasted Chicken. This […]

I finally made my first mushroom soup! What took me so long?! Geez. I’m a big fan of mushroom soup especially those creamy ones but these are just too fattening to be consumed on a regular basis so my recipe is a low-calorie and low-fat one that is easy to make when you just need a […]

Sutchi fish is one of my preferred white fish as it has a mild flavour and doesn’t have a fishy or muddy smell despite it being a freshwater fish. Besides being really affordable and cheap, the sutchi fish with a firm texture is very suitable for pan-frying, baking or even stir-frying. Here are a few […]

Recently I had been trying to experiment with different combinations of fruits and vegetables to make a variety of healthy sides just so I wouldn’t have to repeat the usual. Inspired by my favourite parma ham and rockmelon pairing, I just wondered if the melon would go with a simple pan-fried chicken breast. Seemed really plain especially when […]
