Easy Hummus Recipe

I was first exposed to Middle Eastern & Egyptian cuisine nine years ago when an ex-colleague brought me to Altazzag at Haji Lane where I had one of the best hummus served with freshly-baked pita bread. From then, I fell in love with the exotic flavours of the Near East. I’d been regularly making this […]

Steamed Chicken with Dried Lily Buds Recipe

Chicken and golden needles (dried lily buds) cooked in Chinese wine was one of Gran’s signature dishes. Even though I haven’t had it for like 20 years, I could still remember how tender the chicken was and how fragrant the gravy was, which I could just drizzle over my rice. I wasn’t a big fan […]

Stir Fried Seaweed Chicken Noodles Recipe

In one of my previous posts about factory outlet shopping at Woodlands Loop, I mentioned about this Japanese Crispy Chicken with Seaweed from CS Tay (read the blog post here) which is one of the few processed foods that I do buy and use in cooking. And this is a one dish meal that I […]

A walk around the Gardens by the Bay

Having a garden in the city is not just about getting closer to nature but it really offers a welcoming respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life as well as a cool reprieve from the sultry heat of our year-round summer. I love walking. I think it’s one of the most therapeutic exercises […]

Earlier when I went to Fassler (the salmon factory at Woodlands Loop), I bought two big packs (2 kg worth) of salmon belly and so happened that I came across a Salmon Belly Miso Soup Recipe by food editor Tan Hsueh Yun in The Sunday Times, I decided to give the recipe a try. Salmon Belly […]

VeganBurg @ The Grandstand – Organic Vegan Guilt-Free Fast Food

While I love my greens, I have never thought of going vegan or vegetarian because I always think plant foods will not be able to satisfy me as they don’t give me the same texture and bite like meat. Recently, I started on my exercise regimen (yes, finally after being a couch potato for too […]

Korean Japchae (Mixed Vegetables) Recipe

Korean japchae is very similar to the Chinese chap chye where both literally mean ‘a mixture of different vegetables’. One thing that I really like about japchae is the use of dangmyeon (sweet potato noodles – you can get this from Korean supermarkets or NTUC Fairprice) which are thick and more chewy than the normal […]

Jumbo Seafood Restaurant @ The Riverwalk (Revisited)

Recently, I accepted an invitation for an interview with a food blog and I was asked to name three dishes that are classic Singapore cuisine. Chilli crab just naturally came to my mind, so did the craving. So the husband and I headed to Jumbo at The Riverwalk for some crabbing business. The last time I […]

Ah Hock Fried Oyster Hougang 亚福蠔煎后港 @ Whampoa Drive Makan Place

I remember when I was little, Granny would sometimes buy orh luak (oyster omelette in Teochew) home for supper (only when she won at the mahjong table so supper was always a rare treat!) and it was one of the few foods that I didn’t know how to appreciate because I just didn’t like the […]

Steamed Minced Chicken with Broccoli & Egg Tofu Recipe

I used to eat a lot of steamed egg (see my recipe here) whether it’s with porridge at home or when I get a takeaway from the mixed rice stall but it can get really boring over time as it’s always the same smooth and silky texture. This time I wanted to experiment a new […]

Hong Kong Style Steamed Cod Fish Recipe

I love Teochew style steamed fish (see my cod fish recipe here) because it was a dish that I grew up eating as my Granny who’s Teochew used to make it really often when I was little. Likewise, every time I visited my in-laws in Essex, England, my mum-in-law would cook the Cantonese style of steamed […]

Centre Satay Bee Hoon @ Ang Mo Kio Central Food Centre

This satay bee hoon stall in Ang Mo Kio Central Food Market has been around for at least 25 years. I first had this when I was in primary school in the 1980s as my Granny was a big fan of it and she’d always bring me here then. I continued patronising this stall over […]

Char Kway Teow Recipe (No Pork Lard)

Char kway teow (aka stir fried flat rice noodles) is one of our top national dishes in Singapore that so many of us love especially the crispy pork lard that really gives it depth and flavour as well as the juicy cockles. However as we are all getting health conscious these days, eating char kway […]

L’Entrecôte The Steak & Fries Bistro @ Suntec City

The husband and I walked past this bistro a few weeks back when we saw a menu signage at the entrance that featured its value-for-money lunch sets for steak & free-flow fries. Being a steak frites lover, this was something I couldn’t resist so we had to return over the weekend to try it out. […]

Salmon & Fischeon Fried Rice Recipe

I had reviewed DoDo’s new fish luncheon product a couple of days ago (click here to read) so this is the other recipe that I came up with by using up the remaining fischeon I had. This fried rice was definitely much better than the pasta in my opinion as the fischeon here played second […]
