I made a Low Fat Portobello Mushroom Soup for lunch and thought I should also make some open sandwiches with that freshly baked rye loaf that I bought. This Spicy Prawn and Avocado Sandwich is really easy to assemble with minimal cooking required. I chose to quickly blanch the prawns in boiling water just to […]

A brunch recipe which is super easy to make and perfect for those of you who don’t like to do (too much) cooking and cleaning up over the weekend just like me. Each frittata muffin is made up of a hearty breakfast combination – potato, egg, mushroom, cheese, milk and tomatoes – all in a […]

The subject heading is not wrong. This is indeed a low carb pasta recipe as I’ve substituted tagliatelle with baiye tofu instead. Baiye tofu typically comes in a compressed block of beancurd skin so we just need to slice it up in 1cm thickness and then use our hands to loosen it up into individual […]

Sometime ago, I made a Cabbage Lasagna and I thought I would experiment with a different vegetable this time. Eggplants worked perfectly for this recipe. This eggplant layer bake is made to resemble a lasagna except there are no pasta sheets in it as I’ve substituted them with thick slices of eggplant and I’ve not […]

This curry dish might be made from scratch but it was so easy to prepare with literally whatever usable stuffs I had in my kitchen – overripe peaches in the fridge, prawns in the freezer and a bunch of spices in the pantry. Never had fruits in a curry before? It’s time to change that. […]

I would only snack on dried cranberries once in a while as the ones we could get here often contain added sugar. So when I saw fresh cranberries being sold at the supermarket for the first time, I decided to buy one pack to try only to discover how horribly sour they were – totally […]

Those we love don’t go away they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed so very dear. Picking myself up after losing two loved ones within a few weeks is probably one of the hardest things to do in life. And it feels almost impossible when one of […]

I got the idea to make this soup after seeing a soup pack being sold in the supermarket for the same recipe so I sort of estimated the amount of ingredients needed for it and bought them separately for this. I was curious as to why this particular soup was considered a lung nourishing one […]

This is probably the most unconventionaI but also easiest method to whip up a quick and healthy vegetable curry by using tomatoes as the base. I made a herbed quinoa (just mix cooked quinoa with chopped coriander and spring onions with a squeeze of lemon juice) to go with the vegetable curry and also oven-grilled […]

My homemade version of a healthy ‘steak frites’ comes without the fries, lol. I made a creamy and thick roasted garlic peppercorn sauce to go with the beef just like how it would be like having the same in a restaurant that’s usually served with a flavoursome sauce too. Instead of having any carbs, I […]

I came up with this dish after getting some cooking inspiration from a home-cooked meal at a friend’s house some weeks back. She had cooked this stuffed cucumber soup in which minced pork and prawns were used for the stuffing but for my version, I opted for minced chicken, glass noodles and Chinese mushrooms. Instead […]

A couple of days ago, I shared a Stir Fried Prawns with XO Sauce Recipe on which I also introduced and reviewed the brand new Seafood XO Sauce from Lee Kum Kee. In the same CNY gift pack I received, there was also this Sauce for Honey Garlic Spare Ribs which I thought would be […]

Normally, I would bake stuffed peppers in the oven with a layer of cheese on top just like this simple recipe with minced beef, onions and cherry tomatoes. This time round, I decided to make a one dish meal out of red peppers and hence used a mix of brown and red rice to bulk […]

XO sauce is a spicy salty seafood sauce commonly used in Cantonese cuisine and is also a popular choice of condiment to go with dim sum. Some of the best XO sauces I ever had were from Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家 in Hong Kong and Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies at Circular Road, Singapore. XO […]

♥♥♥ Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥♥♥ Since my valentine is currently back home in England, I shall spend the day romancing myself and enjoy some quality ‘me’ time. What’s better than cooking up a Sunday brunch to start off my day? 🙂 I basically pulled out whatever ‘interesting’ ingredients I had from the fridge and pantry […]
