Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes Recipe

This dish was inspired by the chicken cacciatore I had at Pete’s Place which was simply chicken breast meat cooked in a tomato sauce. I added balsamic vinegar to the sauce so as to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and also to give a nice depth on the whole with a mellow sweetness. […]

Thai Seafood Noodle Soup Recipe

Sawadee ka! Welcome to the Land of Smiles! 🙂 For some reason, I didn’t order my usual Tom Yum Soup during my last visit to Nakhon Kitchen so I thought I would make one at home (see my Seafood Tom Yum Soup Recipe) but turn it into a one-dish meal for dinner instead. And that […]

Nakhon Kitchen – The best neighbourhood gem in Singapore that offers cheap & good Thai food

I had only just hopped onto the Nakhon Kitchen bandwagon last year. Probably still a few years too late but nonetheless I’m very glad that there is a NK branch near where I live so whenever I’m craving for food from the Land of Smiles, this is the place to go. And I’m sure many […]

Cashew Chicken Recipe

I think the beauty of Chinese stir-fries lies in its versatility and quick preparation time. We can almost create any stir-fry dish with whatever meat and/or vegetables we have in the fridge so long we have oyster and light soy sauces – which I’d say are the most useful, must-have sauces for every kitchen.

Don’t confuse this brand with Rochor Beancurd House which is one of my favourite supper places along Upper Thomson Road. Well, some of you might remember the Rochor […]

Steamed Red Snapper Recipe

* This post is published in collaboration with Lee Kum Kee. This Sauce for Fried Cod Fillet from Lee Kum Kee is obviously for dousing over a piece of fried cod but since I never really like frying fish much (mostly because I don’t want to stink up the house as I have an open-concept […]

Seafood Brown Rice Risotto Recipe

To make this recipe, you would need a flavoursome seafood stock. Luckily I had kept prawn heads/shells and fish heads/bones (can also get from NTUC Fairprice) in the freezer so what I did was to fry these odds and ends with some sunflower oil till cooked and fragrant and then added leftover vegetable broth. I […]

Fruity Couscous Recipe

I really love a fruity couscous because it’s packed with so much vitamins and fibre (really a good way to eat more fruits!) and it’s just so quick and easy to make. The myriad of colours, textures and flavours just makes eating couscous so much more exciting. I must say, this isn’t so much of […]
