Most of the time when we think of Kung Pao, we would associate it with boneless chicken cubes or crunchy shelled prawns that go so well with the deliciously sweet, salty and spicy sauce. I just thought of experimenting my Kung Pao Chicken recipe with pork tenderloin (because that’s what I have in the freezer […]
Teriyaki is one of my preferred sauces in Japanese cuisine because I like that combination of sweet and salty that seems to make anything taste good. From hamburger steak, meatballs, seafood, grilled chicken to beef rolls, this recipe for home-made teriyaki sauce simply works with all. Why buy bottled ones when you can easily make it […]
Happy Birthday, dear husband! You are one year wiser today, woo hoo! 🙂 An exciting day awaits you! Ok, back to food.

Every time I boil lotus root soup at home, I’d end up with extra lotus root in the fridge because I can never find a small root just nice for 2 persons’ serving so this time I thought of slicing the lotus root up to make a really easy vegetable stir fry with french beans […]
Who says eating out is always unhealthy? There are actually many different types of food that weight watchers can go for and one best option is soup. Soup Spoon is one of my preferred places to go to for western style soups with my all-time favourite being the Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Mushroom Ragout (at 320 calories […]
The joy of inheriting a family recipe from my maternal grandma is immense as I’m the only person in the family who’s into cooking but having eaten my grandma’s Teochew style braised meat for more than two decades on every Chinese New Year, I just feel I should really preserve and master this classic dish.
