One of my recent food inventions was this Chicken Tofu Burger topped with crunchy, sweet & sour cabbage kimchi. Had been making a lot of burgers recently cos’ the husband and I got hooked onto this Korean drama (Jang Bo-ri is Here!) on Channel U hence we would eat our dinner in front of the […]

This was a really quick brunch fix cos’ it was one of those make-ahead meals that I’d prepare the night before and all I would do the next day was just to toss the ingredients with the dressing. Nothing too fanciful as I just wanted to keep the flavours simple and I chose to use […]

Oven baked. Greaseless. Fat free. No salt. That’s how I prefer my sweet potato chips to be so the only flavouring factor depends on the sweet potato’s own natural sweetness. I picked Vietnamese yellow sweet potatoes but you can of course use the orange/purple variety or a mix of both. If going plain isn’t your […]

Time to spice things up in the kitchen with this uber-shiok Spicy Yogurt Chicken Recipe! 😉 I drew inspiration from a spicy pasta dish I made the night before and the husband was telling me to buy more of those dried hot chilli flakes that would make our tongues tingle. So while I was looking […]

Watching my tomato and chilli seeds sprouting and growing up everyday for the last few months has been quite phenomenal because it just feels like I’m bringing up little kids, haha. Due to the inadequate conditions of my make-do ‘concrete gardening plot’ at the lift lobby outside my apartment, my tomato and chilli seem to […]

I had raved about Greek yogurt earlier which I really thought of it as one of the best yogurt inventions ever and of course, my best buddy when it comes to cooking too, lol. With the addition of just a bit of ground cumin and curry powder, it is so easy to churn out a […]

As we all know, rice is a staple in Chinese cuisine. While I don’t think rice tastes good on its own because it’s just plain and bland, it does pair beautifully with dishes that come with rich, savoury gravies or sauces. Also I like its versatility when it comes to cooking because there are endless […]

I love Nando’s not because their flame-grilled chicken is out of this world but because their peri-peri sauces are just amazing. They are robust in flavour, spicy, tangy, piquant and sweet – everything that’s needed to make a piece of chicken tasty. When I was at Mustafa Centre the other day looking out for interesting buys, I […]

I love curries – be it Chinese, Indian, Nonya or Japanese style. It makes a great one-pot meal with intensely robust flavours and the gravy just goes so well with rice, crusty bread or any noodles. Normally when I cook Japanese curry at home, I’d only use chicken as the base. For a change, I […]

There’s nothing better than having a cheat day to emotionally satisfy our craving which is something that the husband and I always look forward to. So what’s cooking up today? Crispy and crunchy, deep-fried wontons! This recipe is similar to my soupy wonton recipe except that I have used pork instead of chicken and more prawns […]

Ever since I started making my own roast pork at home, I no longer buy or eat those from roast meat stalls. Sometimes, the outside ones might have a higher ratio of fat to meat, could be too salty or cold and soggy because it was left hanging out for too long. Like freshly baked […]

Today I’m sharing a Seafood Prosperity Pot Recipe which is my rendition of a 海鲜一品锅 that you could get from most tze char stalls in Singapore. This is a dish that’s favoured by my folks because there are so many ingredients in it especially vegetables and is overall, healthy and non-greasy. Seafood Prosperity Pot Recipe Ingredients […]

It’s Mother’s Day today and I just want to wish all mummies in the world a very happy day! I can never have enough of creamy pasta. It’s a dish that I can make in bulk, chill in fridge and have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes, supper. Haha. You may think, ‘OMG, this […]

I really love cooking one-pot stews because not only they are easy to make and can be prepared in advance (usually taste better overnight!), they are also able to feed many without too much hassle. Also, I think a one-pot stew can be a very budget-friendly meal because you can use whatever meats or vegetables […]

Woohoo! I finally made my own thunder tea rice! Lol. I’m a big fan of this signature Hakka rice dish because it has so many different types of vegetables in it. High fibre – yeah – but it’s that mix of textures, variety and wholesomeness that keep me coming back for it. For those who are […]
