I think one of my neighbours must have recently welcomed a new little bundle of joy in the family because I’ve been smelling the aroma of Pig Trotters In Vinegar (猪脚醋) and Sesame Oil Chicken (麻油鸡) almost everyday. They are common dishes that new mommies will have when they are in confinement (坐月子) after giving […]

Been a while since I last had salt baked chicken at Lam’s which has outlets all over Singapore such as Marina Square, Race Course Road, Causeway Point, Parkway Parade, Toa Payoh, Waterway Point, ION Orchard and West Mall. An unassuming dish at first glance but the key lies in that robust-tasting broth that’s really packed with a […]

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 […]

Happy New Year, everyone! 🙂 After all the countdown action last night, I think we deserve a good meal to refuel ourselves and kickstart a brand new day in a brand new year. How about a lip-smacking Chicken Schnitzel, eh? I actually used 1 big piece of chicken breast (instead of 2 as indicated in […]

I haven’t been cooking a lot these 2 months as I’ve been away most of the time (I’m in Malaysia now! Haha) but luckily I have a huge backlog of recipes (‘cos I cooked too much and couldn’t blog about everything in time, oops) to share. Will be rolling out a series of travel & […]

Chicken katsudon is a Japanese-style fried chicken cutlet rice bowl. Some restaurants like to serve the chicken katsu with a sweet & tangy sauce that’s made with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce but I prefer mine with dashi stock, egg and onions. My husband enjoyed the chicken because the outside was crispy and the inside was […]

For at least 1 day in a week, my cooking is likely to revolve around leftovers in the fridge. For example, a recipe may require only 50ml greek yogurt but supermarkets only sell 500ml tubs. Or perhaps I only need 100ml buttermilk to make waffles but again I can only buy 250ml cartons. This is why […]

The weekend is finally here (well, almost). There has been so much going on that I’m sort of feeling a little overwhelmed. And I’ve been ill for a month or so which makes it even more unpleasant. Had to go hospital because of a colon issue and then I was down (and I still am) […]

Yellow onions have a lovely natural sweetness in them which will be further enhanced when they are cooked longer. And that’s probably why caramelised onions always taste so good. I wanted to make a caramelised onion sauce initially but that would have taken me at least 45 minutes to whip up. I needed something quick […]

I remembered coming across a copycat KFC fried chicken recipe while flipping through a recipe book at the library a while back. And sometime last year, I was watching this food programme on TV that gave an insight on how KFC made their O.R. chicken. There wasn’t any overnight marination and they merely dunked the chicken […]

Finding the best cookware is never an easy task because there are so many different brands in the market today that offer almost similar functionalities at possibly the same price range too. When I finally had my own place after getting married, I stocked up my kitchen with a whole bunch of fanciful kitchen tools […]

Japanese curry soba noodles? Perhaps curry udon or curry ramen is more common here in Singapore but since I’m so hooked onto soba noodles these days, I just want to give this combination a try. The curry tastes so robust (I like S&B brand of Japanese curry sauce mix) and the gravy is good enough […]

I love the combination of honey and lemon. Sweet and sour – it’s just so appetising and refreshing on the palate. This is an easy roast chicken recipe that you can serve with any sides of your choice. As you can see from the picture below, the chicken looks ‘burnt’ on the exterior but it’s […]

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. […]

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. Stir-fries […]
