Another of my latest creations is this healthy & easy-to-make steamed tofu recipe that only requires minimal seasoning so you can enjoy the natural flavour of silken tofu and the sweetness of the dried scallops. If served as one of a few dishes in a meal, this is definitely enough for 2-3 persons to share. […]

It is probably easiest to just buy bottled or packet sauces from the supermarket but most of the times, we can actually use some of our cooking essentials to create an equally flavoursome marinate sauce for meats. In this Grilled Chicken Recipe, oyster sauce and honey do the trick so you’d get this slightly sticky coating […]

Tau Cheo (Fermented Soy Beans) Pork Ribs is another of Gran’s signature dishes so every time I make this, it really evokes memories of the good old days. I tweaked my recipe several times as I wanted to achieve that same balance of flavours in Gran’s version. Not exactly like hers yet but close enough […]

I love potstickers and I have had some really good ones at People’s Park Food Centre before but I can never imagine myself making them because it seems like a great deal of effort to do it so when I decided to make these, I must be really in an extremely good mood that day […]

Fermented bean curd, sometimes known as the Chinese version of cheese, is a very versatile condiment commonly used to flavour rice, porridge or stir-fries. While I like it as it is with plain porridge, I like to use it to marinate chicken too. If you’re a big fan of fermented bean curd like me, do […]

It is patty-making time again! And this time, I’m using prawns instead of meat. Prawns get cooked really fast so it only takes about 2 minutes to pan-fry these patties. The water chestnuts add crunch to the patties and the sesame seeds just give them a lovely nutty flavour. Simply light and delicious nibbles! Sesame […]

My husband used to hate garlic. He said he never liked it even when he was back home in England and whenever he saw garlic in any dish, he’d rather waste time in picking out the garlic bits then eat them. But he’s a changed man now. Because I exposed him to the garlic culture […]

I have blogged about my favourite claypot rice before which is one of the many local foods in Singapore that I adore. For this home-made version, I did not use a traditional claypot. As such, the best bits of burnt rice will not be present in this version but the flavour infiltrating every grain of rice […]

I have a whole lot of ideas for stir-fries but almost none for steamed food except the usual steamed fish or egg. Hence I began researching on new recipes for steamed food and I came across this interesting Steamed Chicken with Salted Fish & Black Fungus Recipe. I adjusted the recipe with less sesame oil […]

This simple Chicken Carrot Porridge recipe inspiration came from my mum when she only had carrots and chicken meat left in her fridge. She turned that into a lovely, hot porridge for lunch which she had without any seasoning as she normally prefers plain food. To make it slightly more palatable than just that, I used […]

Sometimes when I run out of ideas on what to cook or simply have no inspiration for meal planning, I’ll just make some plain rice porridge and a few easy dishes like omelette, steamed egg or a stir fry like this one to go with the porridge. It’s just having Teochew porridge with whatever dishes you […]

Every time I cook lotus root soup, I would get leftovers of lotus root as it’s often sold in huge sizes in the supermarket and it’s just too much for a pot of soup. So these days, I would first slice up a small bunch and keep in the fridge for next day to prepare […]

This Fried Bee Hoon with Stewed Pork Recipe is one of my favourite one-dish recipes. Normally if I have to cook lunch on weekends, this would be one easy dish to prepare. The stewed pork has a rich and flavourful gravy that makes the bee hoon slightly moist and savoury tasty. And this dish reminds me […]

I love tofu, be it fried, braised or steamed. And they are just so nutritious too. This is one of my favourite tofu dishes as it’s not oily, not heaty and really easy to make. Who says tofu must always be plain? Not when they are dressed up like this Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork […]

While I don’t really consume a lot of soft drinks, I do like to use them in my cooking. This Coca-Cola Pork Ribs Recipe is super easy to make. Basically, Coca-Cola is the sole formula for the sauce so except for a simple marination of the pork ribs, there is absolutely no need for further […]
