Woohoo! I finally made my own thunder tea rice! Lol. I’m a big fan of this signature Hakka rice dish because it has so many different types of vegetables in it. High fibre – yeah – but it’s that mix of textures, variety and wholesomeness that keep me coming back for it. For those who are […]

Taiwan Sausage Spaghetti Recipe

I never would have thought of stir frying spaghetti in an Asian style like how we’d do Chinese fried noodles till my mother-in-law whipped up a quick and tasty lunch of stir fried fusilli with char siu when I first came by her house in England years ago. It works in a similar way like […]

Alfredo Fettuccine Recipe (Part 2 of 2)

This was the super yummy Alfredo Fettuccine I had during my cruise as mentioned in my Part 1 post: Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Recipe (Part 1 of 2).

Fermented Beancurd Chicken with Lotus Root Recipe

Besides being an excellent condiment with plain rice congee, fermented beancurd is also one of my favourite cooking ingredients. It is what I call the Chinese version of cheese as it has this salty and mildly sweet flavour (from the pickling liquid) that really makes food taste more robust and appetising. I had made a […]

Coca-Cola Chicken Recipe

I love coke! I love it when I was little and I still love it now though I haven’t had it for a long time due to diet restrictions. And it is just amazing how coke makes a great sauce for meats. I have cooked Coca Cola Pork Ribs before but I think chicken is […]
