Another of my latest creations is this healthy & easy-to-make steamed tofu recipe that only requires minimal seasoning so you can enjoy the natural flavour of silken tofu and the sweetness of the dried scallops. If served as one of a few dishes in a meal, this is definitely enough for 2-3 persons to share. […]

I was just telling the husband the other day that I hadn’t had Mac N Dees pancakes for the longest time so I decided to make them for breakfast since I had all the ingredients available in my pantry. Best of all, there were some leftover bacon too which I pan-fried to crisp and ate […]

Overnight oats are probably the greatest time savers in the morning. Basically they are just rolled oats soaked in milk and/or yogurt in the fridge overnight so you can just dig in right away the next morning before heading out to school or work. I never like oats that much before though my husband can […]

Mashed potato is such a classic dish that I’m sure most of us have eaten a lot of it since we were little. While I like those with creamy textures that almost melt in the mouth, the coarsely mashed ones are equally tasty especially if you don’t mind eating potato skins. I like to keep […]

Every now and then, I like to make a salad for dinner on the first or second weeknight especially after a weekend of non-stop indulgence which is all I crave to detoxify myself from inside out, lol. For this pasta salad recipe, I made a wholegrain mustard dressing that was inspired by a side salad I had […]

Hands up if you like luncheon meat! 🙂 Probably one of the most versatile canned meats that is just delicious on its own and almost never go wrong in any way we cook it. I was inspired by this sweet and sour luncheon meat dish from my favourite mixed veg rice stall and I thought of making it […]

  Soba or buckwheat noodles are a great choice of carbs to cook with because they have this somewhat nutty flavour and hence don’t really need complicated seasonings to dress it up. This is another healthy recipe that doesn’t require much prep work. I chose to oven-bake my salmon but of course you can pan-fry them […]

Inspired by one of my favourite dishes, Sambal Goreng (fried tempeh, firm tofu & long beans in a spicy sambal paste) which we can always get from any nasi padang stall. Instead of using long beans, I substituted with broccoli florets instead and added an extra touch of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and sweet […]

This stir fried pasta dish is similar to my Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti Recipe except that I have used macaroni as my choice of pasta. If you like oglio olio (spaghetti with garlic & oil) and don’t mind a little tang and heat, you are likely to enjoy this macaroni recipe as it has a great […]

This is another rendition of my Egg, Bacon & Avocado Salad Recipe that I just made up on the spot the other day for lunch after I came back from gym. While I decided to keep the hard-boiled egg in this, I substituted the bacon with firm tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans) hence making this a […]

What do pizzas, cheese burgers, lasagne, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese steak and nachos fries (oh boy, the list just goes on doesn’t it?) have in common? Yes, they are all CHEESY foods. If I’d name an ingredient which I think would be the world’s best invention, I’d have to say it’s cheese. It’s […]

Created another new recipe in the kitchen today when I was looking through some of my older recipes and thought I’d make a non-carb version of this Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti. Off went the pasta and I used a whole pack of crunchy sugar snap peas which I loved. Somehow I just thought garlic, […]

Today is Diwali (also known as Deepavali, The Festival of Lights) and I just want to wish all my Hindu readers, a very Happy Deepavali! Suddenly felt inspired to share this Tandoori Chicken Recipe when I was meddling with my spice rack in the kitchen earlier. This doesn’t look like your usual red-coloured tandoori chicken? […]

It is probably easiest to just buy bottled or packet sauces from the supermarket but most of the times, we can actually use some of our cooking essentials to create an equally flavoursome marinate sauce for meats. In this Grilled Chicken Recipe, oyster sauce and honey do the trick so you’d get this slightly sticky coating […]

I absolutely adored this fried rice not only because the salmon was crispy but because the salmon imparted a wonderful aroma to the rice without making it taste fishy. The crunch from the lotus root and french beans simply added more textures too. And I chose brown rice over white rice for its high fibre and low-GI properties. An easy […]
