I love potstickers and I have had some really good ones at People’s Park Food Centre before but I can never imagine myself making them because it seems like a great deal of effort to do it so when I decided to make these, I must be really in an extremely good mood that day […]

Fermented bean curd, sometimes known as the Chinese version of cheese, is a very versatile condiment commonly used to flavour rice, porridge or stir-fries. While I like it as it is with plain porridge, I like to use it to marinate chicken too. If you’re a big fan of fermented bean curd like me, do […]

A fry-up lunch is almost non-existent in my culinary journey to date as I normally prefer to stir-fry, oven-bake or steam. So when a fried chicken craving hit me and I only had pork chops in the freezer, fried pork chops naturally came to mind. And since I was already planning to use (lots of) […]

I remembered there was a time when I was in Primary 4 when the form teacher mentioned that tempeh (fermented soy beans) has high nutritional value but my classmates weren’t sure of what tempeh was except me because it was an ingredient that my Granny loved to cook with and I grew up eating. I […]

I have raved about the benefits of consuming codonopsis earlier in my Chicken Soup with Wolfberries & Red Dates Recipe post. This is another similar recipe except that the chicken is steamed instead of being cooked in a soup. An easy to prepare, nutritious meal for the family! Steamed Chicken with Codonopsis (Dang Shen) & […]

Lemon chicken is another one of my favourite dishes to order from most tze char stalls as it’s one dish that never seems to go wrong. I just like the lemon sauce that is drizzled over crispy-fried chicken as the tangy flavour kind of neutralises the grease in the mouth. Fried Chicken with Lemon Sauce […]

It is patty-making time again! And this time, I’m using prawns instead of meat. Prawns get cooked really fast so it only takes about 2 minutes to pan-fry these patties. The water chestnuts add crunch to the patties and the sesame seeds just give them a lovely nutty flavour. Simply light and delicious nibbles! Sesame […]

I have an indescribable affinity with fried rice, probably all kinds of fried rice. It’s one of the most inexpensive comfort food for me because frying rice always reminds me of my beloved Granny. And because of that, I always get this familiar feeling of kinship and love when I eat fried rice and no […]

Almost similar to the creamy alfredo sauce, this Garlic Herb Cheese Penne Recipe is one of our favourite pastas. Easy to make and perfect for cheese lovers like us. If you love creamy white sauces for pastas, then this is one recipe you should not miss out on. Garlic-Herb Cheese Penne Recipe Ingredients (serves 2) 250g penne, […]

When I first tried making this salmon using the Happy Call Pan, it was a disaster as the marinate burnt and hence affected the appearance of the salmon too. This time round, I decided to pop the salmon into the oven to broil it. I was actually worried that the salmon might become too dry […]

Granny used to make steamed egg for me when I was little and it was just a plain version without any meat. Always a joy to share the hot & comforting steamed egg with her as we ate it with white rice. For my version, I added some minced pork to bulk the dish up. […]

I enjoy making meat patties, be it chicken or pork, as the options of accompaniments are vast but some popular ones would of course include water chestnuts, french beans, long beans, carrots, corn, lotus root, celery, rhubarb and other similar vegetables that could give the patties a good crunch. For this Corn & Chicken Patties Recipe, […]

I love cooking different types of porridge by experimenting with various ingredients. Broccoli and cauliflower are great vegetable choices as they don’t turn mushy easily. Just add some chicken breast or minced chicken, this would be a low-fat, low cholesterol, nutritious porridge meal fit for the whole family. Healthy Brown Rice Porridge with Broccoli & […]

I normally don’t eat breakfast but when I do, I eat like a king. And I can never resist a full English breakfast because I love variety. I love eating different things, enjoy different flavours, appreciate different textures all in one meal. For this breakfast, my husband joined me in the kitchen to prepare sauteed […]

I have blogged about my favourite claypot rice before which is one of the many local foods in Singapore that I adore. For this home-made version, I did not use a traditional claypot. As such, the best bits of burnt rice will not be present in this version but the flavour infiltrating every grain of rice […]
