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 […]
My husband taught me how to make Apple Crumble previously. It’s his specialty as it’s probably the only sweet treat he has ever mastered to make. 😆 But of course, it’s also a dessert treat that means something special to the both of us (click on the apple crumble link above to read the full […]
If my father-in-law is here with us, I’m sure he will be so proud of me coming up with different variations of salt and pepper dishes (like this Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs) that are inspired by his specialty – Salt and Pepper Pork. It’s one of my favourite dishes that I can never have […]
I just couldn’t forget how amazing the Com Suon Nuong I had in Hanoi was. It was an old and unassuming eatery that served up only one dish – Vietnamese Pork Chop Rice – which seemingly looked like a humble plate of mixed rice (‘chap chye png’). But that smoky flavour of the meat combined with […]

Feeling a little brain dead today. 😐 And it’s only Tuesday, geez. But I’m looking forward to the coming public holiday as I’ve planned to go on a hike which I haven’t done for ages. Supposed to be my homework in therapy but I’ve put it off for too long. Anyway, let’s keep it simple […]
After making Oriental Sausage Rolls last week, I thought of using the remaining puff pastry sheets for something else. Something bacon-y and cheesy like these Bacon Cheese Rolls. Some of you probably know these as pinwheels. 😉 They resembled mini pizzas because I had brushed tomato paste onto the pastry sheets before adding the toppings. […]
It’s Fri-YAY and it’s also Junk Food Day! 😆 Today, I’m sharing a really easy recipe, Oriental Sausage Rolls. This recipe only requires 3 ingredients with minimal preparation – Oriental sausages (a.k.a. Taiwanese sausages), frozen puff pastry and an egg wash. You can get the sausages from the chilled section at major supermarkets here in […]
I was pretty intrigued by the name Waldorf Salad previously because I had always thought the salad was named after someone’s last name. Well, according to Wikipedia, the name of the salad came about when it was first created for a charity event that was held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City in […]
