Was in the Novena area recently as I was craving for my favourite Pork Rib Prawn Noodle from Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. I love it because the soup is always so robust-tasting and flavoursome. And they also serve up a delicious assortment of fried ngoh hiang which you can pair with your noodles. Yum. That […]
Japanese curry soba noodles? Perhaps curry udon or curry ramen is more common here in Singapore but since I’m so hooked onto soba noodles these days, I just want to give this combination a try. The curry tastes so robust (I like S&B brand of Japanese curry sauce mix) and the gravy is good enough […]
Literally translated as ‘fried sauce noodles’, zha jiang mian (炸酱面) is a Chinese wheat noodle dish with a chunky salty-sweet meat sauce that is made from fermented soy bean paste. It is what I call the Chinese version of Spaghetti Bolognese. The classic zha jiang mian normally uses minced pork in the sauce but I […]
If I’m not specifically making chicken stock to store in the freezer, I like to cook a bigger pot of chicken soup (ABC, chicken-radish and the like) so that I can keep the extra soup for another meal the next day – really saves time and effort! I don’t really like using store-bought stocks because […]
In about 7 hours’ time, I would be wheeled off to the operation theatre. Waiting for Operation Day for the past one week had been stressful though I tried my best to stay calm and positive. Needless to say, I was awake the whole of last night because it finally dawned on me that I […]
I had previously reviewed Weng Kee Original Taste Ipoh Hor Fun @ Changi Village. It serves up a pretty good Ipoh Hor Fun with a generous amount of ingredients (including fried wanton & char siew besides the usual) and the combination of sweet & salty flavours in its gravy is quite tasty too. When I […]
Recently, I tried KL Style Hokkien Mee at Geylang and thought I’d try to recreate a healthier version of it at home minus away the so-good-but-so-sinful pork lard. The KL version of Hokkien Mee is quite different from the local one we get here and the most obvious difference is in the colour. KL one is ‘black’ […]
If the husband and I are out having Japanese food, cold soba (buckwheat) noodle is one item we’d not miss out on. Even at home, I like to substitute other noodles with soba whenever possible as it’s really a healthier alternative that helps with weight management as it contains less calories than the standard spaghetti and […]
Besides creamy white sauce pasta, aglio olio (‘garlic & oil’) is another of my favourite. I love the garlic-infused olive oil that’s so fragrant yet I don’t find it greasy at all. Adding a little knob of butter will give that extra kick when you dig into this spaghetti. So easy to prep, so easy […]
