I’ve probably been watching too much of Amazing Eats, Man v. Food Nation and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on Food Network which is really one of the few channels I’m hooked on these days. The food featured on these shows kind of inspire me to whip up comfort food that helps chase the blues (and […]

I make salads at least once every week in humongous portions sometimes so my husband and I can have it for dinner and for next day’s breakfast. Plus it is so easy to create home-made dressings with simple ingredients so it’s something that you can easily prepare, whether as a meal on its own or […]

It’s been a long while since I last ate corn muffins at Kenny Rogers Roasters. And I remembered how warm, fluffy and moist they were each time I took a bite into them. I came across a box of corn meal at Cold Storage one day and decided to try creating these muffins at home. […]

I love spring rolls. Be it fresh or fried. I just love how the different ingredients come together in a wrap just like the Mexican burrito except that you get a sweeter crunch of vegetables that makes you want more and more. I can probably eat 4-5 big rolls in one go. And when I […]

Mondays are my husband’s eat-in days so he and his colleagues will have lunch meetings in the office instead of heading out to eat. For health reasons, he has requested me to make lunch for him since outside food tends to be oily and may contain MSG. As there isn’t a microwave in his office […]

Not only it looks pretty, this Swedish-version of roast potatoes is very easy to make. It makes a great starter or side for any meal. Or simply add your favourite toppings like bacon or cheese and have it on its own. Hasselback Potatoes Recipe Ingredients russet potatoes, washed and patted dry salt freshly ground black […]

If you often cook prawns/shrimps at home, do reserve the prawn heads & shells (they can be kept in the freezer for months so just keep accumulating) so you can make prawn stock in the future. Nothing ever goes to waste! Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is a very popular hawker fare in Singapore and it’s […]

Since my husband moved here from England, he had dearly missed the pork dumplings that his mum used to make back home which were really tasty. So I attempted my first try at making these dumplings, in the hope of satisfying the husband’s cravings for this meaty delight. Pork Dumplings Recipe (Makes about 28-35 dumplings) Ingredients […]

For my Dad’s recent birthday, I had wanted to make a durian cake for him since durian is his favourite fruit. But due to the hazy weather earlier alongside with the presence of the unwelcomed flu bug at home, I had to change the durian cake to a Tiramisu Charlotte Cake which is less ‘heaty’ compared […]

My husband and I used to go to Ikea once in a while for their meatballs. However, the standard and quality of these little morsels have deteriorated over the years. Now, I find them too floury for my liking. And we can’t taste the meat in them anymore which is a shame because their brown […]

Ever since my last business trip to South Korea when I tasted the most divine grilled bulgogi beef, I’ve been in love with this dish for the longest time. I don’t have a Korean-style griller at home so I make bulgogi beef using my versatile kitchen buddy, the Happycall Pan. Korean Bulgogi Beef Ingredients 200g […]

I love our local hawker fare because they are mostly unhealthy (hence tasty) and I must say satay is one of my favourite choices especially when I prefer meat to carbs. In order for me and my husband to enjoy these sinful treats minus the high fat and high cholesterol content, the only way out […]

For my husband’s birthday, I decided to bake him a red velvet cake which is considered my first attempt at professional cake decorating. It is also the first patisserie-standard choice of cake I ever considered making. It is a big risk because I’m no expert in baking so anything could go wrong. Normally I only […]

Left with a couple of soon-to-expire large eggs and not wanting them to go to waste, I decided I’d do a cake this time which I’m sure my husband would fancy (he loves cakes to bits!). Just a little treat for him since he’s working from home. Inspired by the popular British dessert, Queen of […]

I took the chance to do some baking during those hazy days last week since there wasn’t much I could do with such bad air. And my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed these muffins for tea that really cheered us up. Doughnut Muffin Recipe Ingredients 140g unsalted butter, melted 120g golden caster sugar 200g plain […]

Ever since moving to our new home, I’ve been experimenting with recipes and whipping up dishes (probably delivering a few disasters now and then too haha) more than ever. ‘My kitchen’ as what I affectionately call it, is my favourite part of the house where I spend most time in everyday. I tried to cook […]
