We’re all in this together but I strongly believe we will ultimately overcome COVID-19. Continue to stay strong, stay positive and most importantly, […]
You can easily find tteokbokki or spicy rice cakes at almost all food streets or markets in South Korea. It’s a very popular street food snack that really ticks all the right boxes – not just with tourists but locals too. It’s not hard to always spot K-actors buying/eating/cooking tteokbokki in almost every K-drama. 😀 […]
I am so not eating youtiao (fried dough fritters or Chinese crullers) for a long, long time. Getting so sick of it because I had made too much youtiao in the last couple of days as I was trying to perfect my youtiao recipe. Serious youtiao overload, haha. Nonetheless, it had been a really gratifying […]
After making Oriental Sausage Rolls last week, I thought of using the remaining puff pastry sheets for something else. Something bacon-y and cheesy like these Bacon Cheese Rolls. Some of you probably know these as pinwheels. 😉 They resembled mini pizzas because I had brushed tomato paste onto the pastry sheets before adding the toppings. […]
It’s Fri-YAY and it’s also Junk Food Day! 😆 Today, I’m sharing a really easy recipe, Oriental Sausage Rolls. This recipe only requires 3 ingredients with minimal preparation – Oriental sausages (a.k.a. Taiwanese sausages), frozen puff pastry and an egg wash. You can get the sausages from the chilled section at major supermarkets here in […]

Earlier I have posted a Peanut Muah Chee Recipe which I regard as a healthier version because it uses less oil and less sugar. And now I’m sharing this other ‘less healthy but more aromatic’ Peanut Sesame Muah Chee Recipe. This recipe is inspired by the peanut and sesame muah chee from Hougang 6 Miles […]
One of my all-time favourite snacks to eat since my childhood days. It was a must-get for me whenever I came across a pasar malam or muah chee stall. But since I started making muah chee at home a few years back, I no longer buy any from outside because it’s really easy and cheap […]
The first time I got to know about the dessert snack “心太软” (literally means ‘heart too soft’) was from a local Channel 8 drama probably about 2-3 years back. It’s a pretty apt name for these Stuffed Red Dates which are basically steamed red dates stuffed with glutinous rice cake (or mochi). The middle is […]
Occasionally on Fridays, the husband and I would have our own stay-in movie nights when we would just watch a couple of movies and munch on finger food, cheeses and nuts till the wee hours of the next morning. So I’d just prepare snacky types of food that we can easily eat with our hands […]
I bought some cookie cutters from Tokutokuya and just couldn’t wait to start using them so I randomly made up a cheese biscuit/cracker recipe with some leftover cheddar cheese in the fridge. With a mini 3.5cm star cookie cutter and a slightly bigger butterfly shape one, this recipe could easily yield about 125 crackers in […]
This is one of my favourites to make whenever I have visitors over at my place. As mentioned in my recipe post yesterday, my friend K came by for a catch up session and besides the Pear and Peach Muffins that I had baked, I also made Mee Chiang Kueh for her. Always a joy […]
Time for whole wheat baking again! I’ve been doing it a lot recently because I’ve a huge bag of whole wheat flour to use up and I really don’t want to waste it. My first time making whole wheat scones. (If you don’t have or don’t like whole wheat flour, then replace entirely with all-purpose […]
