Mee Tai Mak (米苔目) is one of my favourite varieties of Chinese rice noodles. It’s also known as Lao Shu Fen (老鼠粉) which sounds kinda cute, haha. I guess the name came about because of the shape of the noodle which is tapered like a mouse tail. Besides having mee tai mak in soup, it […]
I love the combination of honey and lemon. Sweet and sour – it’s just so appetising and refreshing on the palate. This is an easy roast chicken recipe that you can serve with any sides of your choice. As you can see from the picture below, the chicken looks ‘burnt’ on the exterior but it’s […]
Found a brand new pack of rice paper wrappers in my pantry so decided to make Vietnamese spring rolls. I remembered how much I enjoyed the Summer Rolls from Pho Street which also came with this savoury dipping sauce. I tried to recreate the piquant sauce with hoisin sauce, peanut butter and ground peanuts and […]
Whenever I see the word ‘ratatouille’ (pronounced ‘ra-ta-too-ee’), I will be reminded of Pixar’s animated film of the same name. That, by the way, is quite an entertaining film as it depicts the story of a rat named Remy who dreams to become a chef. 🙂 A ratatouille is actually a French stewed vegetable dish […]
This dish was inspired by the chicken cacciatore I had at Pete’s Place which was simply chicken breast meat cooked in a tomato sauce. I added balsamic vinegar to the sauce so as to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and also to give a nice depth on the whole with a mellow sweetness. […]
Sawadee ka! Welcome to the Land of Smiles! 🙂 For some reason, I didn’t order my usual Tom Yum Soup during my last visit to Nakhon Kitchen so I thought I would make one at home (see my Seafood Tom Yum Soup Recipe) but turn it into a one-dish meal for dinner instead. And that […]
I had only just hopped onto the Nakhon Kitchen bandwagon last year. Probably still a few years too late but nonetheless I’m very glad that there is a NK branch near where I live so whenever I’m craving for food from the Land of Smiles, this is the place to go. And I’m sure many […]
I think the beauty of Chinese stir-fries lies in its versatility and quick preparation time. We can almost create any stir-fry dish with whatever meat and/or vegetables we have in the fridge so long we have oyster and light soy sauces – which I’d say are the most useful, must-have sauces for every kitchen. Stir-fries […]
I was in the Selegie area and happened to pass by this stretch of road so thought I would stop by Rochor Original Beancurd for afternoon tea. Don’t confuse this brand with Rochor Beancurd House which is one of my favourite supper places along Upper Thomson Road. Well, some of you might remember the Rochor […]
