I love prawns but I just hate eating them in restaurants especially when they are served in whole because it is such a hassle to peel the shells. Therefore I thought I would try making deep fried prawns that would be so crispy and crunchy, we could just devour the whole thing. Now that’s one […]
Having lived in Vietnam for a period of time, my mother-in-law is not unfamiliar with Vietnamese cooking. She is a mean cook who makes a really awesome chicken pho that is packed full of flavour but not heavy-handed with seasonings. And I like that she will always add char siew in the pho so every […]
I absolutely love the tau suan from Zhen Jie Traditional Dessert @ 628 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 and Tiong Bahru Tau Suan @ Tiong Bahru Market. Good consistency. Not overly starchy. Not too sweet. And the beans are never mushy. That’s exactly what makes a good bowl of tau suan for me. 🙂 I […]
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 […]
My husband taught me how to make Apple Crumble previously. It’s his specialty as it’s probably the only sweet treat he has ever mastered to make. 😆 But of course, it’s also a dessert treat that means something special to the both of us (click on the apple crumble link above to read the full […]
If my father-in-law is here with us, I’m sure he will be so proud of me coming up with different variations of salt and pepper dishes (like this Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs) that are inspired by his specialty – Salt and Pepper Pork. It’s one of my favourite dishes that I can never have […]
I just couldn’t forget how amazing the Com Suon Nuong I had in Hanoi was. It was an old and unassuming eatery that served up only one dish – Vietnamese Pork Chop Rice – which seemingly looked like a humble plate of mixed rice (‘chap chye png’). But that smoky flavour of the meat combined with […]
Today, we’re making Feta Cheese Meatballs! Well, if you haven’t had feta cheese before, you should really give it a try because it can add so much depth to various different dishes. What is Feta Cheese? Feta cheese is a brined curd cheese that is made from sheep’s and/or goat’s milk. It is more firm, […]
Feeling a little brain dead today. 😐 And it’s only Tuesday, geez. But I’m looking forward to the coming public holiday as I’ve planned to go on a hike which I haven’t done for ages. Supposed to be my homework in therapy but I’ve put it off for too long. Anyway, let’s keep it simple […]
