After I had tried making stuffed portobello mushrooms earlier this week, I’m now attempting to make stuffed bell peppers. Lunches are really getting interesting for me these days. It is just amazing how many vegetables out there we can make use of to create happy comfort food out of them. One walk down the vegetables […]

I don’t like peas but I love mashed peas. It just reminds me of a friend who dislikes potatoes but loves french fries, lol. Well I don’t exactly hate peas as I can still eat them but I’d rather not if I have a choice. I’m not sure how on earth I’d have bought a […]

I’m happy to have experimented with many new dishes with all the stuffs I had bought from Foodie Market Place especially the big packet of cheddar cheese and block of pecorino romano that I never seem to be able to finish using them, lol. I quite like using pecorino cheese as a topping for these […]

I think home cooking can sometimes be a form of art too in a sense that we can try recreating dishes from leftover ingredients without them looking like leftover food. And I kinda enjoy cracking my brain to churn up something really easy to make with whatever I have in the fridge as I don’t like […]

Whenever I dine at Lao Beijing, I will definitely order their Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce 蒜泥白肉 which comprises of thinly sliced tender pork (like those used in shabu shabu) with a good balance of lean and fat so they have that chew and crunch at the same time. The pungent odour of raw minced garlic is […]

This is a slightly simplified variation of my Salmon & Sutchi Fish Cakes Recipe. I had bought some frozen premium halibut fillets from Fairprice earlier and thought of combining them with the salmon I already had to make fish cakes. Though I didn’t use any egg as a binding agent here, the ingredients were still able to […]

The husband loves eggs as well as anything with eggs so naturally he’d adore egg tofu too. In order to make this an even more eggy-tasting dish, I included a beaten egg into the minced meat mixture for a slightly gooey texture which really complemented the ‘drier’ egg tofu and the rice congee that I cooked. […]

Found this easy stir-fry recipe which makes a good one-dish meal for dinner. Minimal work but very robust flavours. As dried black beans are generally salty, there isn’t a need to season the dish with more salt so just go easy with the light soy sauce in the chicken marinate. Chicken & Peppers with Black Bean […]

My husband rarely cooks (ever since whipping up a wedding proposal meal 4 years ago but I fell asleep due to jet lag, oops!) but when he does, he cooks with his heart and soul and he delivers comfort food. It’s quite fun seeing him getting busy in the kitchen with an apron on because he’s so […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Teriyaki is one of my preferred sauces in Japanese cuisine because I like that combination of sweet and salty that seems to make anything taste good. From hamburger steak, meatballs, seafood, grilled chicken to beef rolls, this recipe for home-made teriyaki sauce simply works with all. Why buy bottled ones when you can easily make it […]

The thought of mee goreng just makes me salivate. At a whopping 500 calories (at least) per serving with high content of saturated fat and sodium, it’s definitely no heart-friendly hawker fare to enjoy on a daily basis. Good thing is, it’s not difficult to make mee goreng at home. I always find the ones […]
