This is a fusion dish inspired by the Korean seafood pancake and the Swiss rösti. Instead of using just regular potatoes, I added in sweet potatoes as well to give the pancakes some natural sweetness. If you like, you can also use scallops and lump crab meat besides squids and prawns. I made a lighter […]

This Pork Collar with Crispy Garlic Sauce is an adaptation of my Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce (蒜泥白肉) Recipe which is suitable for those who don’t like the spicy and pungent flavour of raw garlic. After the garlic has been fried in oil, its flavour becomes milder and sweeter. Also, it kinda resembles crushed potato […]

I shared my Spicy Fish Floss Recipe last week which was inspired by my Granny’s Nyonya-style fish floss. It’s a very versatile side dish that you can make in bulk in advance and then store the rest in containers (chilled) for later use. Try adding them to fried rice, noodles and sandwiches or even whip […]

I haven’t had a good Fried Assam Prawn dish for a long time until when I visited Makko Teck Neo at Telok Blangah Rise which served up homey Peranakan fare. Really reminded me of Granny’s cooking as she used to make similar assam (a.k.a. tamarind) prawns when I was little so I decided to recreate […]

Two weeks ago, I had posted the pre-order information for Bake & Celebrate: Cookies and Treats that will be out in stores very soon. This recipe book is a collection of 42 recipes for delectable cookies and treats that are contributed by selected top food & lifestyle bloggers and instagrammers from Singapore and the region. […]

My late granny used to make fish floss (she called it ‘her hu’ in Teochew) a lot when I was little because my father loved fishing then and every weekend he would come home with a huge catch of fish like sea bass and snapper. I really missed those moments when the kitchen would be […]

Occasionally on Fridays, the husband and I would have our own stay-in movie nights when we would just watch a couple of movies and munch on finger food, cheeses and nuts till the wee hours of the next morning. So I’d just prepare snacky types of food that we can easily eat with our hands […]

Love ribs with meat that falls off the bone? Give my Honey BBQ Back Ribs Recipe a try. It’s a meat dish that I love to do during festive occasions or for dinner parties but it can be quite time-consuming plus there’s quite a bit of work involved. This Curry Pork Ribs Recipe is a […]

Just back from a long holiday and I’m now down with tonsillitis coupled with a persistent high fever. ? But it doesn’t stop me from sharing a piece of good news. Not long ago, I was approached by Marshall Cavendish with regards to this festive baking recipe book entitled Bake & Celebrate: Cookies and Treats […]

I used to only eat lettuce raw until when I experimented with stir frying it previously and I thought cooked lettuce was not bad too. See my Stir Fried Lettuce Recipe (with Shimeji Mushrooms). Every time when I just needed a few lettuce leaves for sandwiches or salads but I could only get a whole […]

Doesn’t this look like the yu sheng we normally have during Chinese New Year? Yep, I definitely got my inspiration from there. In fact, this salad can also qualify as the chicken version of yu sheng as it makes a really good alternative for those of you who don’t like raw fish. It is also […]

Bought a huge pineapple to make Pineapple Chicken earlier but wasn’t able to use all up so I made a pineapple salsa with the leftovers as a side dish to go with my baked salmon lunch. Flavours worked perfectly in this dish. While the honey baked salmon tasted more on the sweet side, the tangy […]

As I’m typing out this recipe post, I can’t help but have that #PPAP tune ringing in my head. I’m sure most of you have watched the video clip. Such a nonsensical song but so catchy and memorable, lol. Anyway, this is a pretty healthy, low-fat dish because I’ve used skinless chicken breast meat and […]

Kung Pao dishes need no further introduction. They are so common and easily available at Chinese takeaways and restaurants. I have shared two Kung Pao recipes previously: Kung Pao Chicken Kung Pao Tofu (vegetarian) And this time, I’ve made another vegetarian version with lotus root and other vegetables. The crunch of the vegetables and cashew […]

I love eating fish fingers as they are so easy and quick to prepare. Fun to eat as well, lol. Just have to pop them into the oven for minutes and they’re done. They make a great snack to munch on and I really enjoy dipping them into sweet chilli sauce or mayo. Yum. However, […]
