Soto Ayam is a yellow-coloured spiced chicken soup that is commonly found in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. It is typically served with ketupat (rice dumpling), noodles or vermicelli and can be enjoyed as any meal of the day. A new coffee shop opened in my neighbourhood recently and I tried the Malay stall for lunch […]

One of the best highlights of my Hanoi trip was eating this amazing Vietnamese porridge by the roadside near my hotel. It’s called Chao Suon Sun which means ‘pork ribs & cartilage porridge’. Unlike Cantonese style porridge in which we can find lots of ingredients like minced meat, meat slices and/or century egg, this porridge […]

This Teriyaki Chicken Don is one of my favourite don recipes because teriyaki chicken almost never goes wrong. It tastes delicious on its own or even when paired with noodles, scattered on top of a pizza or wrapped in a sandwich. Sometimes, the teriyaki chicken that we get from Japanese restaurants here may come with […]

Again hands up if you’ve tried my Salted Egg Prawn Recipe. 😀 It’s one of my favourite things to make because my family enjoys the dish so much, it’s always the first to run out at every meal gathering. And I’m always glad to see how much joy and smiles good food can bring to […]

Hands up if you have tried my Salted Egg Chicken Recipe. 😀 It has remained my top number 1 recipe post since I shared it years ago. And it just means how much you peeps love your salted egg as always. 😉 Today, I’m sharing a Salted Egg Tofu and Chicken Recipe that’s inspired by […]

I shared a Chinese Pork Chop Recipe yesterday that was inspired by my Granny’s dish of the same name. And today I’m posting a Chinese Chicken Chop Recipe. 😆 Sounds the same but they are different. 😀 In this recipe, I’ve used honey instead of sugar which gives the chicken a nice glaze and flavour. […]

Granny used to make ‘fusion’ Western food quite often when I was little. Mainly pork chops and chicken chops that she would marinate with Chinese seasonings and then served with several other dishes with rice. I thought of replicating her style of cooking with this Chinese Pork Chop Recipe. The meat is redolent of oyster […]

The club sandwich is one of my all-time favourite sandwiches because they are huge and thick with plenty of ingredients so you get to taste different flavours and textures all at once. From the tender chicken breast, crispy bacon, smoky pepperoni to the savoury cheese, sweet tomatoes and crunchy lettuce – everything just come together so […]

Ever since I discovered 5 Star Corner Western Food at Hougang Central two years ago, it has become my favourite place to go for pork and chicken cutlets. Their food is affordably priced and come in sizeable portions. Definitely gives more bang for your buck. And the best thing is, their pork and chicken cutlets […]

Not too long ago, I have shared this Swedish Meatballs with Gravy and Lingonberry Jam Recipe. That is simple comfort food that easily pleases the taste buds of both the young and old at home. Just like how many of us still enjoy having IKEA Swedish Meatballs every now and then. This Meatball Pasta with […]

Kenchinjiru is a Japanese-style vegetable soup that is made with an assortment of root vegetables and tofu. My version of kenchinjiru is non-vegetarian as I have used bonito seasoning to make the stock and have also added fish cakes in it. Nonetheless, it’s still a pretty wholesome and hearty soup to have. And because it […]

You can easily find tteokbokki or spicy rice cakes at almost all food streets or markets in South Korea. It’s a very popular street food snack that really ticks all the right boxes – not just with tourists but locals too. It’s not hard to always spot K-actors buying/eating/cooking tteokbokki in almost every K-drama. 😀 […]

Happy Children’s Day! 😀 To all the little ones in Singapore (and where ever is celebrating Children’s Day today too) and all the kid-at-heart. 😉 Some mummies and daddies have probably taken the day off to spend the day with your kids. How about making a cheesy treat for them as well like this Cheesy Baked […]

Had a good hotpot session at Northpoint City yesterday. 😀 Totally indulged in a meat feast of pork belly, beef and mutton slices. So much meat overload that I just have to go vegetarian today, lol. Hence I made this Mushroom Risotto with simply a mix of mushrooms, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. 😉 Making The […]

I grew up eating egg cake in the 80s when fanciful breads and cakes of today weren’t available then. The egg cake wasn’t anything extraordinary. However, as my late Granny brought me up, we had shared countless food memories together which also included our special moments of dipping egg cake into coffee. The egg cake […]

This Garlic Butter Clams Spaghetti Recipe is inspired by my favourite clam dish from Itacho Sushi that is buttery, garlicky and utterly delicious. It’s a must-order for me whenever I’m back at the restaurant. 😀 The steps to making this pasta are very similar to that of aglio olio. And it’s really easy and quick […]
