In the last couple of months, I stumbled upon several different pasar malam (night markets) at various neighbourhood precincts and I noticed that more and more vendors were selling moo ping or Thai-style grilled pork skewers. Yep, I’m talking about those tender, juicy and smoky grilled pork that you can get for 10 baht per […]

Big thank you to all my readers who have sent in requests for recipes. Your enquiries are now an excellent source of inspiration to me. Really helps with my weekly meal planning while at the same time I can experiment with new dishes too. So thanks again peeps and keep them coming! ? This recipe that […]

This brand of China Apple soda was one of my favourite soft drinks during my childhood years. Granny loved it and we would always share one whenever we were out for a meal. I had actually meant to use apple cider for this dish but I changed my mind and decided to pick up a […]

I was never a big fan of bitter gourd when I was growing up. Only started eating it during my working years after having a really good bitter gourd soup at Hong Kong Street Family Restaurant at Novena Gardens. And I realised the bitter gourd actually didn’t taste that bad when it was prepared and […]

I really loved traditional plain banana cakes in the 1980s. Confectioneries and bakeries then did not have fanciful breads and cakes like today so I was easily satisfied with just a little treat of a slice of banana cake. As good as classic banana cakes in the good old days Moist and soft with a […]

Today, I’m featuring the last product from Heng’s (a Malaysian food brand) range of spices and pastes that I had bought off Qoo10. It’s a Braised Pork Belly Recipe, also known as Tau Yu Bak to some. Like most other Heng’s products, this pack of Heng’s Stewed Fragrant Herbs & Spices contains no MSG. It is […]

This Spam Fried Rice is almost a replica of my usual Luncheon Meat Fried Rice. Only difference is that, I’ve used a mix of brown and red rice and of course, Spam, which is just a brand of canned luncheon meat that you can easily find at supermarkets here in Singapore. This is a simple, straightforward […]

Earlier, I had shared a Healthy Clam Chowder Recipe in which I had used Greek yogurt and skimmed milk instead of cream. And likewise for this Salmon Chowder Recipe that I’m sharing today, I’ve made it along the same lines too. Honestly, I don’t really regard Greek yogurt and skimmed milk as substitutes anymore. Yes, […]

Bought some beautiful, large and fresh tiger prawns from the supermarket today so thought I would make a marinara pasta for dinner. Sometimes, the marinara pasta that we get from outside can be quite tomatoey or acidic. Also, the sauce is often blended till fine or smooth so there isn’t much of a texture contrast […]

Today, I’m sharing the last recipe using ready-made curry paste from Maepranom Brand that I’ve bought from the Thai supermarket at Golden Mile Complex. It’s a Thai Beef Panang Curry Recipe which is also known as beef phanaeng. Like the previous curry pastes, this one has no MSG too so the key is to adjust the […]

One of the best things I ate during my last Bangkok trip was this basil omelette with rice dish at the Pier 21 food court of Terminal 21. I customised my omelette with ham, oyster mushrooms and basil leaves, which the chef made right on the spot. Interestingly, even though it was just a simple […]

This Chicken Skewers Recipe is a new spin on my Spiced Chicken Kebabs Recipe that I’ve shared previously. Probably an Asian/Chinese-style one as I had used honey, oyster sauce and fish sauce to marinate the meat. Opted for chicken leg meat with skin-on (look at that caramelised skin!) and introduced extra vegetables to give that crunch […]

This Yogurt and Kimchi Pasta isn’t quite a dish on its own though you can probably still enjoy it alone if you don’t like too much frills in your pasta. I’ve actually made this as a side dish to pair with Chicken Skewers which I’ll be sharing the recipe right after this. Never really expect […]

The husband commented recently that I have been making western food quite regularly these days though I am more of an Asian food person, haha. Not that he’s complaining since he eats whatever I cook. But I’m also very thankful ‘cos he’s my most supportive guinea pig for each and every of my kitchen experiment even […]

This Sugar Snap Peas Recipe is a very simple stir fry of chicken meat and vegetables which can also be easily substituted with other ingredients that you normally prefer such as cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas etc. However, I would suggest keeping one essential element of this stir fry i.e. the lotus root as it really […]

If sambal is the most important element in South East Asian cooking, I’m sure gochujang is also the key ingredient for Korean cuisine. It is a hot chilli paste that you can use to whip up all kinds of delicious Korean dishes. Gochujang is readily available at Korean marts and major supermarkets here in Singapore. […]
