One of my favourite one-dish meals to make is Rice Cooker Chicken Rice. That is by combining and cooking rice, chicken stock, spring onions, sliced ginger, garlic cloves, pandan leaves and chicken in a regular rice cooker. This really saves a lot of time and effort than making Poached Chicken Rice Recipe the conventional way. With that […]

Yu Xiang Rou Si (鱼香肉丝) is a very popular dish in Sichuan cuisine that combines the respective elements of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness and sourness all in one. Though Yu Xiang Rou Si literally means ‘fish fragrance shredded pork’, the dish itself does not contain any trace of fish at all. Not even fish sauce. In […]

We are so into Chinese food these days especially Szechuan cuisine after watching all those Chinese mukbang videos. The moment I started making my first ‘Chinese Chinese’ dish (Beef and Enoki Mushroom Recipe), I just went on to experiment with other Chinese dishes too. One of our favourite dishes to order at any Szechuan restaurant […]

Mukbang videos are all the rage right now. It’s just extremely gratifying and somewhat therapeutic and comforting to watch people eat large amounts of food. Particularly junk food and guilty treats because these is the kind of food many of us will typically crave for yet do not want to freely indulge in it. 😀 […]

This Shimeji Mushrooms with Egg Tofu Recipe is made in tze char style that comes with a savoury sauce that you can use to douse over your rice. Yum. The advantage of this recipe lies in its flexibility so you can easily create different versions of it by using a variety of ingredients. This time, […]

Brown Rice vs. White Rice. All that ongoing health hype is probably making more and more people in Singapore choose whole grains over refined grains. Besides brown rice itself, you may have noticed that our supermarkets here are now stocked up with brown rice products as well – brown rice pasta, brown rice flour and […]

The combination of ginger and sesame oil in Chinese cooking can be really amazing. It’s what I call a sensory experience because before we even get to taste the dish, we would already get a whiff of aroma that fills up the entire kitchen while the chicken is braising in an enticing sauce. That’s exactly […]

Chop suey is a Western-Chinese (mostly found overseas) dish consisting of meat and/or seafood stir fried with vegetables and bound in a starchy sauce. It literally translates to 杂碎 (‘za sui’) which means an assortment of small, miscellaneous things. I must say a chop suey is really an ideal way to turn the odds and […]

Again hands up if you’ve tried my Salted Egg Prawn Recipe. 😀 It’s one of my favourite things to make because my family enjoys the dish so much, it’s always the first to run out at every meal gathering. And I’m always glad to see how much joy and smiles good food can bring to […]

I shared a Chinese Pork Chop Recipe yesterday that was inspired by my Granny’s dish of the same name. And today I’m posting a Chinese Chicken Chop Recipe. 😆 Sounds the same but they are different. 😀 In this recipe, I’ve used honey instead of sugar which gives the chicken a nice glaze and flavour. […]

Steamed Pork Ribs is always one of my must-order dim sum items as I love the salty flavour of the fermented black beans and the tender pork ribs that are always served steaming hot. However, there is one thing that I don’t appreciate about the dish i.e. the pork ribs used are often too fatty. […]

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 […]

This Sugar Snap Peas Recipe is a very simple stir fry of chicken meat and vegetables which can also be easily substituted with other ingredients that you normally prefer such as cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas etc. However, I would suggest keeping one essential element of this stir fry i.e. the lotus root as it really […]

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 […]

Fried porridge (炒粥) is like the porridge version of a fried rice where you literally fry porridge with an assortment of ingredients and seasonings. It’s a Malaysian dish that originated from Penang. While I didn’t get the chance to try fried porridge in my recent trip to Penang, I had heard good feedback from a […]
