Yu Xiang Rou Si (鱼香肉丝) is a very popular dish in Sichuan cuisine that combines the respective elements of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness and sourness all in one. Though Yu Xiang Rou Si literally means ‘fish fragrance shredded pork’, the dish itself does not contain any trace of fish at all. Not even fish sauce. In […]
Whenever I’m dining at a pasta place, I will almost always order carbonara without fail. Just because I don’t adore tomato-based pasta as much, lol. Pasta carbonara is like classic comfort food. Creamy, cheesy and eggy. So sinful but oh so delicious. 😀 The ones that I’m talking about are the ‘wet’ kind of carbonara […]
I have been super busy these few weeks since coming back from my mini getaway. Been preparing for Chinese New Year (loads of shopping), cleaning the house (chores are like never-ending, lol) and hosting my in-laws who are visiting from England. Where did all the time go, seriously? Haha. Today I’m sharing another Chinese recipe […]
We are so into Chinese food these days especially Szechuan cuisine after watching all those Chinese mukbang videos. The moment I started making my first ‘Chinese Chinese’ dish (Beef and Enoki Mushroom Recipe), I just went on to experiment with other Chinese dishes too. One of our favourite dishes to order at any Szechuan restaurant […]
Mukbang videos are all the rage right now. It’s just extremely gratifying and somewhat therapeutic and comforting to watch people eat large amounts of food. Particularly junk food and guilty treats because these is the kind of food many of us will typically crave for yet do not want to freely indulge in it. 😀 […]
The first time I made buffalo wings was on my hubby’s birthday some years back as he was craving for a hearty menu of Tex-Mex cuisine. And this was one of the few dishes I prepared for him. Somehow the wings weren’t as crispy as I wanted them to be so I experimented a few […]
Fried quinoa is nothing new. Previously I had shared how I would swap rice for quinoa when making a fried rice. It’s equally tasty if not more delicious and it’s really hearty and wholesome too. This time round, I’m again sharing another fried quinoa recipe that is made Chinese-style but with lovely fresh seafood like […]
This Shimeji Mushrooms with Egg Tofu Recipe is made in tze char style that comes with a savoury sauce that you can use to douse over your rice. Yum. The advantage of this recipe lies in its flexibility so you can easily create different versions of it by using a variety of ingredients. This time, […]
Don’t say cheese. Say KIMCHI! 😀 Korean food is one of my favourite Asian cuisines and kimchi is also one of the must-haves in my kitchen. Normally I will just buy them in bulk and store them in the fridge which can last for a long time. Kimchi is ideal as a banchan (side dish) at meal […]
Brown Rice vs. White Rice. All that ongoing health hype is probably making more and more people in Singapore choose whole grains over refined grains. Besides brown rice itself, you may have noticed that our supermarkets here are now stocked up with brown rice products as well – brown rice pasta, brown rice flour and […]
The combination of ginger and sesame oil in Chinese cooking can be really amazing. It’s what I call a sensory experience because before we even get to taste the dish, we would already get a whiff of aroma that fills up the entire kitchen while the chicken is braising in an enticing sauce. That’s exactly […]
Bread pudding is probably one of the easiest desserts to make at home. And it’s an ideal thing to make when you have leftover stale bread to use up so it doesn’t go to waste. I normally put sandwich bread into the fridge on the day of expiry and then use them a few days […]
I’m now in Starbucks writing this post and have been listening to Christmas songs in the background. And then I realise Christmas is just less than a month away. OMG, where did the rest of the time go all this while? 2018 felt so short! 😮 Have you guys make your Christmas plans? Going out […]
Chop suey is a Western-Chinese (mostly found overseas) dish consisting of meat and/or seafood stir fried with vegetables and bound in a starchy sauce. It literally translates to 杂碎 (‘za sui’) which means an assortment of small, miscellaneous things. I must say a chop suey is really an ideal way to turn the odds and […]
Made Maggi Goreng today because the hubby had requested for it. It’s one of his favourite dishes to order at any mamak stall as he loves instant noodles. On the other hand, I’m not a big fan of Maggi Goreng as I prefer instant noodles on their own but I don’t mind having Mee Goreng every […]
Earlier I had shared a Tandoori Chicken Recipe. That meal was deliciously gratifying but there was too much chicken for the two of us. Therefore we kept aside a portion of chicken meat (hand-shredded from the bones) just so we could make another meal with it. Like this Tandoori Chicken Pizza, which is so easy […]
