I shared my Spicy Fish Floss Recipe last week which was inspired by my Granny’s Nyonya-style fish floss. It’s a very versatile side dish that you can make in bulk in advance and then store the rest in containers (chilled) for later use. Try adding them to fried rice, noodles and sandwiches or even whip […]

I haven’t had a good Fried Assam Prawn dish for a long time until when I visited Makko Teck Neo at Telok Blangah Rise which served up homey Peranakan fare. Really reminded me of Granny’s cooking as she used to make similar assam (a.k.a. tamarind) prawns when I was little so I decided to recreate […]

My late granny used to make fish floss (she called it ‘her hu’ in Teochew) a lot when I was little because my father loved fishing then and every weekend he would come home with a huge catch of fish like sea bass and snapper. I really missed those moments when the kitchen would be […]

Love ribs with meat that falls off the bone? Give my Honey BBQ Back Ribs Recipe a try. It’s a meat dish that I love to do during festive occasions or for dinner parties but it can be quite time-consuming plus there’s quite a bit of work involved. This Curry Pork Ribs Recipe is a […]

I used to only eat lettuce raw until when I experimented with stir frying it previously and I thought cooked lettuce was not bad too. See my Stir Fried Lettuce Recipe (with Shimeji Mushrooms). Every time when I just needed a few lettuce leaves for sandwiches or salads but I could only get a whole […]

Doesn’t this look like the yu sheng we normally have during Chinese New Year? Yep, I definitely got my inspiration from there. In fact, this salad can also qualify as the chicken version of yu sheng as it makes a really good alternative for those of you who don’t like raw fish. It is also […]

Bought a huge pineapple to make Pineapple Chicken earlier but wasn’t able to use all up so I made a pineapple salsa with the leftovers as a side dish to go with my baked salmon lunch. Flavours worked perfectly in this dish. While the honey baked salmon tasted more on the sweet side, the tangy […]

As I’m typing out this recipe post, I can’t help but have that #PPAP tune ringing in my head. I’m sure most of you have watched the video clip. Such a nonsensical song but so catchy and memorable, lol. Anyway, this is a pretty healthy, low-fat dish because I’ve used skinless chicken breast meat and […]

Kung Pao dishes need no further introduction. They are so common and easily available at Chinese takeaways and restaurants. I have shared two Kung Pao recipes previously: Kung Pao Chicken Kung Pao Tofu (vegetarian) And this time, I’ve made another vegetarian version with lotus root and other vegetables. The crunch of the vegetables and cashew […]

I love eating fish fingers as they are so easy and quick to prepare. Fun to eat as well, lol. Just have to pop them into the oven for minutes and they’re done. They make a great snack to munch on and I really enjoy dipping them into sweet chilli sauce or mayo. Yum. However, […]

I was at Golden Mile Food Centre a few weeks back and I tried this enoki mushroom fritter from Kee’s Crispy Goreng Pisang (next to the popular Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at B1). It was so crunchy, I couldn’t even tell if I was really eating mushrooms. Really liked it so I thought of making […]

The sauce for this Spicy Almond Chicken Pasta is basically almond satay sauce i.e. satay sauce made with almonds instead of peanuts. Actually I wanted to make real satay sauce but realised I ran out of peanuts so I used almonds which are always available in my pantry for breakfast oats or cereals. Turned out […]

This Honey Chilli Chicken Recipe is really easy to make. Only three ingredients are required to marinate the chicken and once that is done, all we have to do is to pop the chicken into the oven. I love the glaze on the chicken that is sweet and a tiny bit spicy. I also love […]

This is what I call the fish version of a 咕噜肉 (‘gu lou yok’ or Cantonese-style sweet & sour pork) and I’m sure this Sweet and Sour Salmon Recipe will be much healthier (with lots of omega-3 fatty acids too) than its deep-fried fatty pork counterpart. As salmon itself is very oily, there is no […]

I used honey sweet potatoes that were golden yellow in colour. You will see from the recipe below that I’ve not added any salt which is absolutely not necessary because the sweet potatoes are naturally rich and sweet plus canned tuna is already tasty on its own. All that is needed is just some coriander […]
