I have probably walked past this casual Asian restaurant umpteen times whenever I head to Sembawang Shopping Centre as it’s just located outside Daiso and Esprit on the ground level. My folks had been here several times previously and they’d always rave about the free-flow ice cream which seemed to be the only highlight of […]
The look of this dish is a little similar to our local Seafood Mui Fan (海鲜烩饭 or rice with seafood & gravy) that we can get from zi char stalls here. But in terms of ingredients, this dish is somewhat unique as I’ve used crunchy bamboo shoots and black fungus. Taste wise, it also has […]
I made this Smoked Salmon Salad during one of the festive dinner parties I hosted a few months back and all of my guests loved it. Not because the smoked salmon (store-bought), vegetables (raw) or olives (pickled) were fantastic but because they enjoyed the smooth and nutty dressing that came with the salad. Lol. So […]
I’m pleasantly surprised and honoured to have received 3 nominations last week for the Liebster Award. Well if you’ve not heard of it, Liebster Award is actually an online award that is presented to bloggers by fellow bloggers in order to discover new blogs and to recognise bloggers for their efforts. ‘Liebster’ just means ‘dearest’ […]
Normally when we have Teochew porridge, we would eat plain rice congee with a variety of savoury dishes like fried salted fish, braised peanuts, salted vegetables, taucheo (fermented soy bean) pork – all served separately. This recipe is like a 3-in-1 dish that combines pork, braised peanuts and salted fish. It might seem like an […]
Crispy Pork Cutlets. Fried Pork Chops. Sound tempting enough already. But so much deep fried food just doesn’t do justice to our waistlines. To create a healthier alternative which can also satisfy that craving of a good crunch at the same time is to make use of Japanese breadcrumbs, panko. It’s lighter, extremely crunchy and […]
Quesadillas make lovely savoury tea-time snacks or even as a meal on their own without being heavily loaded with carbs like a thick pizza crust or sandwich bread. While I always enjoy combinations of ham & cheese and bacon & chicken for my quesadillas, I thought I’d make a meatless one this time. What could […]
When a friend from overseas came to town recently, I suggested that we should go visit the Singapore Zoo which claimed to be the ‘World’s Best Rainforest Zoo’. I don’t know about that since I haven’t visited enough zoos to compare but I always have a good impression of our zoo because I like how […]
Peperonata is Italian for stewed bell peppers which makes a great complement to poultry or even seafood dishes. There are probably tons of ways to stew peppers (with white wine, canned tomatoes, etc) but I like mine light and healthy with just fresh chicken stock and sufficient salt and pepper to taste. In this way, […]
