I got these gorgeous spinach and tomato tortilla wraps from Melvados that came in a bigger size of 30cm diameter and decided to make some chicken wraps for dinner. Couldn’t resist buying a few bags of our favourite Kettle chips (honey dijon & jalapeño are yum!) too to eat with the guacamole I made. I […]

Chinese New Year has been a quiet one for me last week so I’m quite relieved that today is already 初五 (5th day of CNY). Though I started the day at the doctor’s getting my X-ray done for a knee & foot injury, I’m happy to see that most shops if not all have resumed […]

I meant to make this a Chinese dish but ended up serving it like Western food, lol because I didn’t fancy steamed rice to go with the chicken. I served the chicken with sweet potato mash instead that was easy to prepare and required no extra flavouring since sweet potato was already good on its own The […]

I really like making my own fish or assorted seafood soup at home because I can use a fish of my choice (most of the time cod as it’s not fishy) and top with as much ingredients as I want to make it into a hearty, wholesome yet very healthy meal. All we need is a […]

I had grilled chicken fajitas at Chili’s Grill & Bar earlier and thought to myself that this shouldn’t be difficult to recreate at home plus I still had this Amazon brand of Chipotle Sauce that I bought from Zac Meat which was good for marinating meats. So I came up with my own version of chicken fajitas […]

Whenever I order a chicken or pork chop when dining out, I tend to go for a rich and robust mushroom sauce to go with the meat rather than a black pepper sauce which can be quite overpowering. But again I know how fattening such sauces can be because of the use of heavy cream […]

I’ve seen desserts made from coconut juice but it has never crossed my mind that the juice can also be used in chinese soups until the husband bought two young coconuts back from the supermarket and I thought I would experiment with one since I was going to cook lotus root soup the next day […]

Normally I would eat avocados in salads or on their own, or make them into guacamole dips, sandwich spreads and even pasta sauces that wouldn’t require any cooking. Check out some of my no-cook avocado recipes: Creamy Avocado Penne Pasta with Crispy Salmon Egg, Bacon & Avocado Salad Tempeh, Tofu & Avocado Salad Honey Mustard Roast […]

Happy new year, peeps! Finally I have my first post of the year up! 🙂 And I just want to share this chicken wanton recipe because I’ve just made tons of them, enough to host a wanton party at home, lol. I’ve been happily hosting guests over the festive season that it hasn’t quite struck […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
