Besides making Scotch eggs as an entree, the husband made Alfredo Fettuccine and Bacon-Wrapped Chicken as the main which I thought were really special and meaningful because I was hooked onto this really delicious Alfredo Fettuccine that I had to have it every evening for dinner during my cruise and the Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken was […]
I had my first Scotch egg when I first went to England many years ago. Bought a ready-to-eat one from Sainsbury’s which wasn’t out of this world but it was still decent since it was considered a novelty snack to me. In my recent cruise on Sapphire Princess, I had an outstanding Scotch egg during […]
The first time I made Spaghetti Bolognese which was years ago, I followed the husband’s recipe after he made it once for me to try which was not bad. It was a really basic recipe with straightforward ingredients like minced beef, fresh tomatoes, yellow onions, button mushrooms and tomato paste. And because he liked his […]
This dish needs no further introduction 😉 It’s one of our local favourites and a must-order dish at any tze char stall which I also think is tasty and moreish enough to join the ranks of chicken rice and chilli crab as our national dish. Who doesn’t love salted egg, really? And with the combination […]
Besides being an excellent condiment with plain rice congee, fermented beancurd is also one of my favourite cooking ingredients. It is what I call the Chinese version of cheese as it has this salty and mildly sweet flavour (from the pickling liquid) that really makes food taste more robust and appetising. I had made a […]
I love coke! I love it when I was little and I still love it now though I haven’t had it for a long time due to diet restrictions. And it is just amazing how coke makes a great sauce for meats. I have cooked Coca Cola Pork Ribs before but I think chicken is […]
I have probably walked past this casual Asian restaurant umpteen times whenever I head to Sembawang Shopping Centre as it’s just located outside Daiso and Esprit on the ground level. My folks had been here several times previously and they’d always rave about the free-flow ice cream which seemed to be the only highlight of […]
The look of this dish is a little similar to our local Seafood Mui Fan (海鲜烩饭 or rice with seafood & gravy) that we can get from zi char stalls here. But in terms of ingredients, this dish is somewhat unique as I’ve used crunchy bamboo shoots and black fungus. Taste wise, it also has […]
I made this Smoked Salmon Salad during one of the festive dinner parties I hosted a few months back and all of my guests loved it. Not because the smoked salmon (store-bought), vegetables (raw) or olives (pickled) were fantastic but because they enjoyed the smooth and nutty dressing that came with the salad. Lol. So […]
