If you’ve been following my blog and/or checking out my past recipes, you’ll realise that I use skimmed milk and Greek yogurt a lot in my cooking and baking. I choose to use such healthier alternatives because they are either low in saturated fat or contain no added sugar (or reduced amount) which is one […]

Good morning sunshine! ☀️☀️☀️ Happy Sunday, everyone! Hubby is still running his 21km marathon now but should be finishing soon (flagged off at 4.30am today). Go LG go! Hope he achieves his best time and breaks his last record. ? He keeps saying he’s running for me (as if, haha) and he always passes me his […]

I went back to Twins Korean Restaurant @ Craig Road the other day as I was craving for its Korean fried chicken and spicy seafood noodles. Comforting food as usual. Really enjoyed my meal. Came back home and made this Korean Style Spicy Seafood Soup that was inspired by the noodles I had at Twins […]

Five spice powder is one of my favourite spice mixtures which I would frequently use as a spice rub for roasted meats (Crispy Roast Pork Recipe) or as a seasoning powder for fried foods (Salt & Pepper Chicken Recipe, Crispy Calamari Recipe). I did a Stir Fried Satay Chicken not too long ago and I […]

Whenever I think of Teochew cuisine, I would also get reminded of Granny’s cooking – the humble, homely fare that I used to eat when I was little. Nothing pretentious or over the top. It was simple food that wasn’t heavy-handed but it always tasted good because Granny was particular about the freshness of the […]

A simple, comforting soup dish which you can easily make if you always have homemade chicken broth ready in the freezer or fridge. If no, you can always make one by dissolving 2 chicken stock cubes in 1 litre of hot water. Meatballs wise, I chose to use lean minced chicken to keep this lower […]

Ok, this is not my first time sharing a Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe. It’s normally how I like my chicken to be roasted because the combination of honey and lemon just gives the meat so much flavour and it adds a slightly tangy note too. What I really wanted to feature this time round is […]

I just randomly made up this dish because I had a big wedge of pumpkin left in the fridge after using some for baking. Pumpkin is sweet on its own and gets even sweeter after it is steamed so by using pumpkin in this dish, it really flavours the meatballs with another layer of richness. […]

Korma is a South Asian dish that is made by braising meat and/or vegetables with yogurt/cream, water/stock and spices. I made a healthy version of vegetable korma by using plain non-fat yogurt (with no added sugar) and also mixed in some ground almonds to give it an extra boost of nutty flavour. The husband and […]

The char siew pork used for this recipe is super easy to make as it doesn’t involve any roasting of meat. Simply marinate thinly sliced pork (those pre-packed for shabu shabu will be ideal) and stir fry them in the pan which will only take a few minutes to cook. Of course, you can use […]

Char kway teow is basically stir fried flat rice noodles with typical ingredients like lup cheong (Chinese sausage), prawns, beansprouts, etc. The Penang-style char kway teow is similar to our local Hokkien-style char kway teow (click on the link for recipe) except no sweet soy sauce is used. As lup cheong releases oil when fried, […]

A simplified version of satay chicken without the extra hassle and work of skewering the meat and grilling them. Plus I would say this is a healthier recipe too because the skin and fats from the chicken have been trimmed and removed. Also, it’s not heavy-handed with sodium or seasonings as the different spices used […]

The Christmas and New Year festivities have just been over not long ago and now it’s time to welcome the Rooster Year in less than a month’s time. I’m sure it’s a busy period for many of us as there are lots of to-dos before the Chinese New Year comes and that will of course […]

I wanted to buy sour cream initially to make this Mushroom Stroganoff but couldn’t get any in time from the supermarket near me. While I could have gotten yogurt as a replacement, I thought I would try making the creamy sauce with silken tofu instead. It’s healthy and definitely lower in fat. In fact, I […]
