Been to the doc today because of a big lump that appeared on the front left of my neck. Suspected thyroid disorder but got to wait for blood test result next week to determine the severity of the problem. Praying that it’s only a normal thyroid problem that can be controlled with medication and not […]
One of my recent food inventions was this Chicken Tofu Burger topped with crunchy, sweet & sour cabbage kimchi. Had been making a lot of burgers recently cos’ the husband and I got hooked onto this Korean drama (Jang Bo-ri is Here!) on Channel U hence we would eat our dinner in front of the […]
Oven baked. Greaseless. Fat free. No salt. That’s how I prefer my sweet potato chips to be so the only flavouring factor depends on the sweet potato’s own natural sweetness. I picked Vietnamese yellow sweet potatoes but you can of course use the orange/purple variety or a mix of both. If going plain isn’t your […]
Time to spice things up in the kitchen with this uber-shiok Spicy Yogurt Chicken Recipe! đ I drew inspiration from a spicy pasta dish I made the night before and the husband was telling me to buy more of those dried hot chilli flakes that would make our tongues tingle. So while I was looking […]
I had raved about Greek yogurt earlier which I really thought of it as one of the best yogurt inventions ever and of course, my best buddy when it comes to cooking too, lol. With the addition of just a bit of ground cumin and curry powder, it is so easy to churn out a […]
I love Nando’s not because their flame-grilled chicken is out of this world but because their peri-peri sauces are just amazing. They are robust in flavour, spicy, tangy, piquant and sweet – everything that’s needed to make a piece of chicken tasty. When I was at Mustafa Centre the other day looking out for interesting buys, I […]
Ever since I started making my own roast pork at home, I no longer buy or eat those from roast meat stalls. Sometimes, the outside ones might have a higher ratio of fat to meat, could be too salty or cold and soggy because it was left hanging out for too long. Like freshly baked […]
Besides making Scotch eggs as an entree, the husband made Alfredo Fettuccine and Bacon-Wrapped Chicken as the main which I thought were really special and meaningful because I was hooked onto this really delicious Alfredo Fettuccine that I had to have it every evening for dinner during my cruise and the Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken was […]
I had my first Scotch egg when I first went to England many years ago. Bought a ready-to-eat one from Sainsbury’s which wasn’t out of this world but it was still decent since it was considered a novelty snack to me. In my recent cruise on Sapphire Princess, I had an outstanding Scotch egg during […]
Crispy Pork Cutlets. Fried Pork Chops. Sound tempting enough already. But so much deep fried food just doesn’t do justice to our waistlines. To create a healthier alternative which can also satisfy that craving of a good crunch at the same time is to make use of Japanese breadcrumbs, panko. It’s lighter, extremely crunchy and […]
One thing about getting store-bought herbs instead of growing your own is that the portion of each packet of herbs is often more than what is enough for a recipe. I mean, we wouldn’t be throwing one big bunch of herbs into one particular dish and totally kill the taste, would we? When I do […]
Bacon-wrapped sausages are one of my favourite party or festive foods because they are so easy to eat, hassle-free to make and are well loved by both young and old. While we could do the same with frankfurters or wieners, nothing beats meaty sausages in natural casings like good old bratwursts because they are so […]
I drew inspiration from a cottage or shepherd’s pie whose only crust is made with mashed potatoes. And for a healthier alternative, I chose to use a 0% fat greek yogurt instead of cream or canned soup to make the chicken-leek mix thicker, creamier and more flavoursome. If you don’t fancy leeks, you can always […]
Looking at this mouthwatering picture simply makes me dribble. Another of my ultimate favourite comfort food, perfect to chase away the blues. Sometimes, we just need that one guilty pleasure to cheer ourselves up. This is a playground for cheese lovers, what’s not to love? Baked Chicken Pasta Recipe Ingredients (serves 3-4) 250g penne, cooked […]
With Chinese New Year just around the corner, everyone must have made or are making plans for the reunion dinner and/or CNY lunch. Some probably prefer to eat out to save the hassle of cooking and washing up. Some would probably turn to buffet catering to feed a large family. There is also the option of having […]
The last week of December had got to be our busiest moment of entertaining guests, feasting and of course, fuelling my ultimate passion in cooking for others. The husband and I hosted three dinner parties on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day – the last two weren’t even pre-planned in advance! And we created a buffet (no […]
