Turmeric is one of my favourite Asian spices. Not only it gives food a nice bright yellow colour, it also has a lot of medicinal benefits (can treat bloating, gas and upset stomach, etc) and anti-inflammatory properties. However, besides being used in curries, turmeric is not something that we would just eat on its own, […]
Japanese food lovers in Singapore should be quite familiar with Teppei Japanese Restaurant @ Orchid Hotel (Tanjong Pagar) that is popular for its value-for-money omakase set dinners (require 6 months advance reservation) and bara chirashi dons. But what I really like is their takeaway counter, Teppei Syokudo, which is conveniently located at places including Takashimaya […]
A simplified version of satay chicken without the extra hassle and work of skewering the meat and grilling them. Plus I would say this is a healthier recipe too because the skin and fats from the chicken have been trimmed and removed. Also, it’s not heavy-handed with sodium or seasonings as the different spices used […]
Since back from our Bangkok holiday, I’ve been lamenting to the husband about the lack of street food vendors and good cha yen in Singapore. Really miss that week of non-stop eating, lol. We stayed right in the heart of Pratunam and we would be greeted (day & night) with a whole busy street of […]
I love using tortillas or chapatis as pizza bases. They are thin and hence crisp up in the oven really quick. That saves a lot of time – perfect when you need a quick supper fix at night. Normally, I prefer to make my own pizza sauce (click on the link for recipe) but on […]
The Christmas and New Year festivities have just been over not long ago and now it’s time to welcome the Rooster Year in less than a month’s time. I’m sure it’s a busy period for many of us as there are lots of to-dos before the Chinese New Year comes and that will of course […]
I wanted to buy sour cream initially to make this Mushroom Stroganoff but couldn’t get any in time from the supermarket near me. While I could have gotten yogurt as a replacement, I thought I would try making the creamy sauce with silken tofu instead. It’s healthy and definitely lower in fat. In fact, I […]
This Pan-Fried Chicken with Honey Chilli Sauce Recipe is a quick and easy chicken pasta meal to make. Perfect if you’re cooking for two or just for yourself. The Honey Chilli sauce not only flavours and moistens the chicken breast but it also acts as a dressing for the spaghetti. Overall, the dish is quite […]
I first heard of gumbo when I watched Guy Fieri’s food adventures on Triple D. It’s actually a stew or thick soup that’s made of either meat or seafood and various vegetables including okra that’s used as a thickener. With the leftover sausages I had from last week’s festive feasting, I turned them into a […]
