This Mushroom Barley Soup is an excellent healthy one-dish meal to make. It is also suitable for diabetics and pre-diabetics who need to watch their diet and daily food intake as this dish is low in calories, fat and GI. Fighting Diabetes I am highlighting the topic of ‘diabetes’ today because all of us in […]

J often says IKEA serves canteen food. Well, I kinda agree too because most of the dishes there come straight out of a frozen bag/box, bottle or can. Despite that, we will still share a plate of Swedish meatballs whenever we visit IKEA, haha. 😀 Canteen Food Can Be Comfort Food Too ‘Canteen food’ once […]

This Almond Chicken Rendang Recipe is inspired by the Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta that I shared sometime back. Both dishes are kinda similar as their sauces somewhat resemble satay sauces but in a more almond-nutty way. Where To Get Almonds in Bulk in Singapore J and I eat almonds a lot so we often buy […]

Mac and Cheese is probably one of the ultimate comfort foods for many. I can never resist it too. 😀 That cheese flavour, creamy texture and oh-so-cheesy goodness simply tick all the right boxes. It’s food that makes me lick my lips. 😛 If you haven’t had an amazing Mac and Cheese before, try the […]

As many of us are becoming more health-conscious these days, we are also paying more attention to what we eat. Eating out while at work is no longer that bad with all the healthy food joints sprouting up around Singapore especially in the CBD area. We are indeed so spoilt for choices. From hearty soup […]

This Steamed Sea Bass with Lime & Lemongrass is inspired by the Thai Style Steamed Fish I’ve had at many Thai restaurants. Particularly miss the one I had at Porn’s Sexy Thai Food. A Simple Equilibrium Of Flavours I don’t usually order steamed fish when eating out but there’s something about Thai steamed fish that […]

This Beer Braised Chicken Recipe is an age-friendly recipe. 🙂 The reason why I’m highlighting this is because I was quite amused by my parents earlier. I had asked them if they wanted to bring home some of this beer braised chicken stew I had made and they both responded that ‘they don’t take alcohol’ […]

Fancied a Fried Kway Teow (flat rice noodles) so decided to make it for lunch. 😀 It’s one of my favourite dishes to make when I’m cooking for one or two because it isn’t a lot of work to prepare and it’s quick to whip up. Just like a fried rice. 😉 Use Kecap Manis […]

Fried Garlic Pork or Moo Tod Gratiem in Thai is one of my favourite meat dishes to order at Thai eateries. However, I always have one gripe while ordering fried garlic pork at Thai restaurants – there is just too little garlic in the dish. So for my recipe, I simply chopped/sliced up the garlic […]

Let’s cook something really really easy today, shall we? 😉 This Baked Salmon Parcel is really convenient to prepare, whether it’s for one person or for the whole family. And the best thing I like about this recipe is, clean-up is absolutely minimal. 😀 May not be the prettiest looking dish (haha!) but it’s totally […]

Steamed Pork Ribs is always one of my must-order dim sum items as I love the salty flavour of the fermented black beans and the tender pork ribs that are always served steaming hot. However, there is one thing that I don’t appreciate about the dish i.e. the pork ribs used are often too fatty. […]

Whenever my husband and I dine at Irodori Japanese Restaurant @ Riverview Hotel, we will never miss out ordering a few servings of their beef rolls with enoki mushrooms. There is just something special about this simple yet clever combination that makes it so delicious – both in the taste and texture departments. I just have […]

I love prawns but I just hate eating them in restaurants especially when they are served in whole because it is such a hassle to peel the shells. Therefore I thought I would try making deep fried prawns that would be so crispy and crunchy, we could just devour the whole thing. Now that’s one […]

Having lived in Vietnam for a period of time, my mother-in-law is not unfamiliar with Vietnamese cooking. She is a mean cook who makes a really awesome chicken pho that is packed full of flavour but not heavy-handed with seasonings. And I like that she will always add char siew in the pho so every […]

I absolutely love the tau suan from Zhen Jie Traditional Dessert @ 628 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 and Tiong Bahru Tau Suan @ Tiong Bahru Market. Good consistency. Not overly starchy. Not too sweet. And the beans are never mushy. That’s exactly what makes a good bowl of tau suan for me. 🙂 I […]

I am so not eating youtiao (fried dough fritters or Chinese crullers) for a long, long time. Getting so sick of it because I had made too much youtiao in the last couple of days as I was trying to perfect my youtiao recipe. Serious youtiao overload, haha. Nonetheless, it had been a really gratifying […]
