Lu Rou Fan Recipe (卤肉饭 or Braised Meat Rice )

The joy of inheriting a family recipe from my maternal grandma is immense as I’m the only person in the family who’s into cooking but having eaten my grandma’s Teochew style braised meat for more than two decades on every Chinese New Year, I just feel I should really preserve and master this classic dish. […]

Hainan Curry Scissors Rice 海南咖喱剪刀饭 @ Cheng San Food Centre

Having lived in Ang Mo Kio all my life, I know there are actually a lot more to explore in this new town besides the AMK Hub and the already-bustling town centre. I realise there are so many food centres in the neighbourhood that we can go to even though every weekend my husband and […]

Curry Butter Prawns Recipe

Since trying the butter crabs at Mellben Seafood of which the thick and creamy sauce was to die for, I decided to try out my own rendition at home with crunchy prawns. And for that extra punch and aroma, I had added some mild curry powder and loads of curry leaves to my concoction which yielded […]

Sunny Korean Cuisine @ West Coast Plaza

Whenever I come to this part of Singapore, it’s always to visit the Nike Factory Store (Level 1, West Coast Plaza) to grab new trainers or sports apparel. I was here on a Saturday afternoon but it was clearly not that crowded. Not even in the mall itself so it’s pretty good to just walk around without the […]

Broccoli Pasta with Spiced Prawns & Ham Recipe

Hooray! I’m delighted to have lost almost 10kg in 2 1/2 months with cardio exercises and strength training. And I’m happily throwing out my old clothes to make way for new ones as they are all 1-2 sizes too big for me now. I must really give credit to the LIVESTRONG calorie tracker app that […]

Ikan Bilis Recipe – Crispy Anchovies with Peanuts

A bottle of ikan bilis (dried anchovies) with peanuts is something that I always have in the pantry as I like to sprinkle them over plain porridge or vegetable stir-fry. I’m quite fussy about what type of […]

Happy Avenue’s Home Baked Kueh Lapis – New Flavours

* Sponsored Review * In my previous review on Happy Avenue (click here to read), I had raved about Judy Then’s traditional plain kueh lapis which I totally adore. It is a layered cake any kueh lapis aspires to be – buttery rich and full of egg flavour – minus the unwelcome grease on the fingers. When Judy told me she would […]

Johan Paris (Japanese Bakery) @ Westgate

Visiting Westgate for the first time last week was really a fruitful experience for me as it is a new mall with new (finally!) shops to explore besides different dining options and of course this enticing bakery too. No good bakery escapes my eyes, lol. That’s how passionate I am with breads, not just any other breads […]

Stir Fried Minced Pork with Potatoes Recipe

Recently I’m quite into cooking one-main-dish-on-rice type of meals. Not only they are inexpensive to prepare, they consist of a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables in them which means I do not have to cook another meat or vegetable dish separately and that certainly saves time especially great for weekday dinners when you’re […]
