I’m sure almost every family has their own chap chye recipe because it’s one dish that is never fixed in terms of ingredients used. If I recalled correctly, Gran’s Nonya Chap Chye included cabbage but did not have firm bean curd. And Mum’s version tasted very earthy from the huge amount of mushrooms used. Anyway, I had never been a […]

I bought a block of Pecorino Romano cheese from Foodie Market Place @ Tiong Bahru and had been grating it over my pastas and casseroles. Pecorino Romano is a hard Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk and tastes more salty and sharper than Parmesan but I do like it for its more intense aroma that […]

I spotted this Chinese snack kiosk when I was at Woodlands MRT Station and got really excited as it sells my favourite scallion pancake 葱油饼 that I always find it hard to resist. Made of such humble ingredients yet so delish. Since I had eaten some of the best scallion pancakes and meat buns at Shandong […]

This is one recipe that I just came up with at lunch with whatever I had in the fridge and pantry that I could make use of. I love my vegetables so I chose to have more of that than meat in this stew. Of course, if you prefer more meat instead, you can just adjust […]

I had long heard about the vintage high tea at House at Dempsey but hadn’t had the chance to visit earlier as the high tea is only available on Thursdays and Fridays. Just when I was planning a day out for the husband’s Big 3-0 birthday two weeks ago, I realised his big day was […]

I just love how black pepper sauce can be as versatile as mushroom sauce and that’s why both sauces are so frequently used in Western, Chinese and even Japanese cuisine. Normally, I’d make this black pepper sauce to go with grilled chicken but I felt like having salmon today so I just gave it a […]

This is a no-carb muffin recipe which is very easy to make without the hassle of preparing several components of the traditional fry-up. Only 3 ingredients are required but of course if you like, you can always include additional stuffs like button mushrooms, diced bell peppers, sweet corn kernels, bacon bits, etc to bulk them up. Egg & Ham […]

I’ve been a regular of Thai Express since a decade ago. And to date, I still think it serves up the best seafood phat thai in Singapore which is always my sure-to-order item every time I’m here. And the best part is, no matter which Thai Express branch I go to, standard of their food […]

Just like K-Pop has taken the world by storm, Korean cuisine has also knocked out my all-time favourite Japanese food and claimed top position now. It’s just funny that I no longer seem to enjoy sushi and sashimi as much as before but I can easily have a kimchi stew or bibimbap any time, even twice in a day. I must […]

When I told the husband that there is this ramen shop at 100AM that serves free-flow hard-boiled eggs, I could immediately see a twinkle in his eyes. I’m sure he loves eggs more than his wife, lol. And I often feel bad for restricting his egg yolk intake because it is so not good for health especially when he consumes […]

I was snooping inside the freezer and found some balance seaweed chicken from last time so I decided to whip up an impromptu lunch of stir fried penne today so the husband and I could stop brainstorming on what to eat and where to have lunch. This meal could probably be our last home-made non-clean […]

As part of my Ang Mo Kio food hunt, I made my way to Mayflower Market & Food Centre wanting to eat this fishball noodles which I thought was pretty good when I tried it a long while back but the stall had closed and was replaced by a pastry shop. So I walked to the other […]

Now that my freezer is well stocked up with more salmon after a trip to Fassler (the salmon factory at Woodlands Terrace), I’m trying to cook salmon in various ways possible and this recipe is just one of them. I made this Crispy Salmon Salad for my post-gym lunch as I didn’t want something too […]

Godma and I were at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 as she wanted to grab a bottle of ointment (to ease joint pains and muscle aches) from this Chinese medical hall at Blk 302 whose physician happens to be Wong Fei Hong’s 4th generation disciple. I’m fascinated by resourceful folks like Godma herself who always […]

Most of the time when we think of Kung Pao, we would associate it with boneless chicken cubes or crunchy shelled prawns that go so well with the deliciously sweet, salty and spicy sauce. I just thought of experimenting my Kung Pao Chicken recipe with pork tenderloin (because that’s what I have in the freezer […]
