Happy Children’s Day!ย ๐ To all the little ones in Singapore (and where ever is celebrating Children’s Day today too) and all the kid-at-heart. ๐ Some mummies and daddies have probably taken the day off to spend the day with your kids. How about making a cheesy treat for them as well like this Cheesy Baked […]
Had a good hotpot session at Northpoint City yesterday. ๐ Totally indulged in a meat feast of pork belly, beef and mutton slices. So much meat overload that I just have to go vegetarian today, lol. Hence I made this Mushroom Risotto with simply a mix of mushrooms, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. ๐ Making The […]
I grew up eating egg cake in the 80s when fanciful breads and cakes of today weren’t available then. The egg cake wasn’t anything extraordinary. However, as my late Granny brought me up, we had shared countless food memories together which also included our special moments of dipping egg cake into coffee. The egg cake […]
This Garlic Butter Clams Spaghetti Recipe is inspired by my favourite clam dish from Itacho Sushi that is buttery, garlicky and utterly delicious. It’s a must-order for me whenever I’m back at the restaurant. ๐ The steps to making this pasta are very similar to that of aglio olio. And it’s really easy and quick […]
This Mushroom Barley Soup is an excellent healthy one-dish meal to make. It is also suitable for diabetics and pre-diabetics who need to watch their diet and daily food intake as this dish is low in calories, fat and GI. Fighting Diabetes I am highlighting the topic of ‘diabetes’ today because all of us in […]
J often says IKEA serves canteen food. Well, I kinda agree too because most of the dishes there come straight out of a frozen bag/box, bottle or can. Despite that, we will still share a plate of Swedish meatballs whenever we visit IKEA, haha. ๐ Canteen Food Can Be Comfort Food Too ‘Canteen food’ once […]
This Almond Chicken Rendang Recipe is inspired by the Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta that I shared sometime back. Both dishes are kinda similar as their sauces somewhat resemble satay sauces but in a more almond-nutty way. Where To Get Almonds in Bulk in Singapore J and I eat almonds a lot so we often buy […]
Mac and Cheese is probably one of the ultimate comfort foods for many. I can never resist it too. ๐ That cheese flavour, creamy texture and oh-so-cheesy goodness simply tick all the right boxes. It’s food that makes me lick my lips. ๐ If you haven’t had an amazing Mac and Cheese before, try the […]
As many of us are becoming more health-conscious these days, we are also paying more attention to what we eat. Eating out while at work is no longer that bad with all the healthy food joints sprouting up around Singapore especially in the CBD area. We are indeed so spoilt for choices. From hearty soup […]
This Steamed Sea Bass with Lime & Lemongrass is inspired by the Thai Style Steamed Fish I’ve had at many Thai restaurants. Particularly miss the one I had at Porn’s Sexy Thai Food. A Simple Equilibrium Of Flavours I don’t usually order steamed fish when eating out but there’s something about Thai steamed fish that […]
This Beer Braised Chicken Recipe is an age-friendly recipe. ๐ The reason why I’m highlighting this is because I was quite amused by my parents earlier. I had asked them if they wanted to bring home some of this beer braised chicken stew I had made and they both responded that ‘they don’t take alcohol’ […]
Fancied a Fried Kway Teow (flat rice noodles) so decided to make it for lunch. ๐ It’s one of my favourite dishes to make when I’m cooking for one or two because it isn’t a lot of work to prepare and it’s quick to whip up. Just like a fried rice. ๐ Use Kecap Manis […]
Fried Garlic Pork or Moo Tod Gratiem in Thai is one of my favourite meat dishes to order at Thai eateries. However, I always have one gripe while ordering fried garlic pork at Thai restaurants – there is just too little garlic in the dish. So for my recipe, I simply chopped/sliced up the garlic […]
Let’s cook something really really easy today, shall we? ๐ This Baked Salmon Parcel is really convenient to prepare, whether it’s for one person or for the whole family. And the best thing I like about this recipe is, clean-up is absolutely minimal. ๐ May not be the prettiest looking dish (haha!) but it’s totally […]
Steamed Pork Ribs is always one of my must-order dim sum items as I love the salty flavour of the fermented black beans and the tender pork ribs that are always served steaming hot. However, there is one thing that I don’t appreciate about the dish i.e. the pork ribs used are often too fatty. […]
Whenever my husband and I dine at Irodori Japanese Restaurantย @ Riverview Hotel, we will never miss out ordering a few servings of their beef rolls with enoki mushrooms. There is just something special about this simple yet clever combination that makes it so delicious – both in the taste and texture departments. I just have […]
