I never really fancy bottled pasta sauces that much because they are often flat in texture (I like my sauce with bits and chunks) and contain way too much sodium. For my Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe, I use diced tomatoes with no salt to create the sauce base and then just season it with enough salt […]

I made this simple Mango Prawns Salad with inspiration from my other recipe, Cajun Spiced Salmon with Mango Salsa that was featured in Singapore’s Shape Magazine months ago. I loved the flavour of the Cajun spice mix that was further accentuated by the sweetness of the mango. The tartness & acidity from the lemon or lime juice just balanced […]

The husband and I decided to stay home today to clear some work before our staycation & food hopping trip next week. And I felt inspired to bake something so we could have something to munch on for tea. With a bunch of bananas and a pack of chocolate chips left in my pantry, I was able […]

As we approach the end of the year, it just means it’s going to be a rainy December and I can’t help but crave for hot, soupy & comforting meals like chinese soups or steamboats that will really warm me up from inside out. So yes, that’s why I’m making a chinese black bean soup […]

Besides pineapple fried rice, pad thai is my next favourite carb dish that I really enjoy eating especially the one from Thai Express that has a great balance of all the necessary flavours of Thailand – sour, sweet and savoury. My mouth is salivating now at the thought of it, lol. I experimented with the […]

Inspired by what Gran used to do with a can of sardines when I was little. For convenience sake, it is all too easy to just heat up a can of sardines and eat it as it is but with just a little bit more work to dress it up with more fresh ingredients, canned […]

Every weekend I’d always buy a big bunch of bananas from the supermarket as bananas are the best superfood to eat prior to my morning gym sessions for the much needed fuel. However I’d always end up with 2-3 pieces remaining which would eventually turn black and then get thrown away. Quite some time ago, […]

I’d been thinking of making falafels at home for quite some time but I found it a hassle to deep fry them (well, besides being heaty) when I only needed a quick (hopefully healthy) bite as a snack. So yes, oven baking was the only way out. I added panko to the chickpeas to bulk them up […]

Using spring onions in a wok stir fry is an excellent way to impart this extra fragrance, sweetness and delicate flavour to any meat or seafood, be it fish slices, chicken, beef or even frog legs. And with the use of ginger slices, any possible fishy or gamey smell is just reduced to none. My […]

This Pork Belly & Potato Stew Recipe was inspired by this homely stewed chicken side dish I had at Ootoya Japanese Restaurant. Hence I used mirin (Japanese rice wine) to give the broth a robust flavour and sweetness while adding this Japanese element into it. Instead of using chicken dark meat (leg or thigh), I opted for pork belly slices […]

This Flourless Ham, Egg & Cheese Muffin Recipe is almost a replica of my Egg & Ham Breakfast Muffin Recipe except that this time, I used beaten egg instead of cracking a whole egg into each muffin and also added some cheese into it. It kind of reminded me of a crustless quiche. Have this for […]

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. […]

I was just telling the husband the other day that I hadn’t had Mac N Dees pancakes for the longest time so I decided to make them for breakfast since I had all the ingredients available in my pantry. Best of all, there were some leftover bacon too which I pan-fried to crisp and ate […]

Overnight oats are probably the greatest time savers in the morning. Basically they are just rolled oats soaked in milk and/or yogurt in the fridge overnight so you can just dig in right away the next morning before heading out to school or work. I never like oats that much before though my husband can […]

Mashed potato is such a classic dish that I’m sure most of us have eaten a lot of it since we were little. While I like those with creamy textures that almost melt in the mouth, the coarsely mashed ones are equally tasty especially if you don’t mind eating potato skins. I like to keep […]
