Spinach Muffins Recipe (with Goji Berries & Corn)

I must be the first person to come up with such an unusual muffin flavour, haha. When I told the husband that I was making Goji Berries, Corn and Spinach Muffins, he initially expected the muffins to be savoury but was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were actually sweet dessert muffins. It was […]

Fried Enoki Mushroom Recipe

I was at Golden Mile Food Centre a few weeks back and I tried this enoki mushroom fritter from Kee’s Crispy Goreng Pisang (next to the popular Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at B1). It was so crunchy, I couldn’t even tell if I was really eating mushrooms. Really liked it so I thought of making […]

Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta Recipe

The sauce for this Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta is basically almond satay sauce i.e. satay sauce made with almonds instead of peanuts. Actually I wanted to make real satay sauce but realised I ran out of peanuts so I used almonds which are always available in my pantry for breakfast oats or cereals. Turned out […]

Oven-Roasted Honey Chilli Chicken Recipe

This Honey Chilli Chicken Recipe is really easy to make. Only three ingredients are required to marinate the chicken and once that is done, all we have to do is to pop the chicken into the oven. I love the glaze on the chicken that is sweet and a tiny bit spicy. I also love […]

Sweet and Sour Salmon Recipe

This is what I call the fish version of a 咕噜肉 (‘gu lou yok’ or Cantonese-style sweet & sour pork) and I’m sure this Sweet and Sour Salmon Recipe will be much healthier (with lots of omega-3 fatty acids too) than its deep-fried fatty pork counterpart. As salmon itself is very oily, there is no […]

Rosemary Cheese Crackers Recipe

I bought some cookie cutters from Tokutokuya and just couldn’t wait to start using them so I randomly made up a cheese biscuit/cracker recipe with some leftover cheddar cheese in the fridge. With a mini 3.5cm star cookie cutter and a slightly bigger butterfly shape one, this recipe could easily yield about 125 crackers in […]

Sweet Potato & Tuna Fishcakes Recipe

I used honey sweet potatoes that were golden yellow in colour. You will see from the recipe below that I’ve not added any salt which is absolutely not necessary because the sweet potatoes are naturally rich and sweet plus canned tuna is already tasty on its own. All that is needed is just some coriander […]

Ma La Xiang Guo Recipe 麻辣香锅

When I first tried Ri Ri Hong Ma La Xiang Guo (日日红麻辣香锅) at People’s Park Food Centre a long while back, I was blown away by that incredibly numbing and spicy flavour of that big bowl that was filled with all my favourite ingredients. Everything went so well with rice. It was like having a […]

Oven-Baked Fermented Bean Curd Chicken Recipe

“I was running around the hospital frantically. Desperately opening the door to every room along the way. No, it wasn’t her. Where was she? Then I met him and asked him which room Granny was in. He said ’43’. I ran all the way towards the end of the corridor and found room 43. When […]

McDonalds’s Ebi Burger will be back in a few days’ time! Woohoo! That’s one of my favourite special burgers from MCD that’s only available for a limited time every year. Anyway, I drew inspiration from the Ebi Burger to create this recipe which I can then enjoy it whenever I have a craving for a […]

Banana Carrot Cake Recipe

Recently I bought a bunch of bananas from the supermarket (some new brand that I hadn’t tried before) and although they had sat on my counter top for days and had turned completely yellow on the outside, the flesh inside was still somewhat dry and firm. If I had a dehydrator, I could probably turn […]

Soy Milk Porridge Recipe 豆浆糙米粥

I had unsweetened soy milk in the fridge to use up and since I was planning to cook porridge, thought I would just add the soy milk into it and see how it would turn out. I liked the fragrance of the soy milk in the porridge which also gave extra depth of richness and […]

Snow Fungus Soup Recipe 雪耳桂圆紅棗汤

I remembered having snow fungus soup at Grandma’s house just a few weeks before she passed away in February. My husband had tried it for the first time and I was surprised he actually had several helpings as he didn’t seem interested in Chinese dessert soups previously. I said I would make the same dessert […]

Korean Bibimbap Recipe 韩国拌饭

I realise I have been cooking a lot of Korean dishes at home recently. Probably because I’m back into watching Korean dramas and I always see the characters having home cooked meals of rice, soup, kimchi & the like for almost every meal. It is pretty common to eat bibimbap (‘mixed rice’) out of a […]
