Now that the pandemic is over – or at least there are lesser restrictions – people are making big plans for the summer. From cruises to cottages to that coveted pool party – you don’t want to miss out on all the fun. It’s time to get back in shape to show off that summer […]
I am so excited to share this cauliflower pizza recipe with you guys because it’s not just lower in carbohydrates and calories, it is simply delicious. 😀 The unique thing about this pizza is that I have used purely cauliflower as the base crust which is normally made of bread. I love pizzas but I […]
Losing Weight Through Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting I read up and watched a lot of videos on the ketogenic diet and decided to try it myself which I managed to do so for almost 3 months. Combined it with intermittent fasting so I only ate 2 meals a day within a 5-hour window and […]
Kenchinjiru is a Japanese-style vegetable soup that is made with an assortment of root vegetables and tofu. My version of kenchinjiru is non-vegetarian as I have used bonito seasoning to make the stock and have also added fish cakes in it. Nonetheless, it’s still a pretty wholesome and hearty soup to have. And because it […]
I was never a big fan of bitter gourd when I was growing up. Only started eating it during my working years after having a really good bitter gourd soup at Hong Kong Street Family Restaurant at Novena Gardens. And I realised the bitter gourd actually didn’t taste that bad when it was prepared and […]
Been furiously rolling out recipe after recipe. Because of my inactivity last couple of months due to my poor health, I’m lagging behind in blogging. Now that I’m gradually regaining my energy and focus, I just want to clear out one part of my backlog fast in case (touch wood!) I fall ill again and […]
It’s all about Vietnamese food so I will be sharing three Vietnamese recipes this week. If you’ve missed my Xoi Xeo Recipe (sticky rice with mung beans and fried shallots) earlier, click on the link to check it out. Today, I’m sharing how to make another ONE OF THE BEST things I’ve eaten in Hanoi […]
Raita is a common side dish that’s typically served with biryani in Indian cuisine. It’s an unassuming side dish made with either vegetables, pulses or fruits and then mixed with yogurt before seasoning it. I’ve not really paid a lot of attention to the raita previously because I don’t eat it often enough. But I […]
Steamed tofu? Standard. Steamed egg? Boring. How about steamed tofu with steamed egg and a whole lot more of flavour and crunch? And indeed, this was what I came up with, that truly represented my passion for ‘rojak’ (means ‘mixture’ in Malay) cooking, lol. I had so much ingredients, sauce & garnish on top that […]
I recently started making bentos out of fun and curiosity to see where it might lead me to on my cooking journey and now bento-making is becoming like a hobby. Making bentos for lunch does have a number of advantages in my opinion. 1. Reduce food wastage from dinner the night before if you’re not […]
Lately I’ve been getting a lot of quirky cooking ideas popping into my head every now and then. Perhaps it’s because I’m exposed to so many different cuisines all the time that when I’m doing meal planning, I would tend to add a little bit of this and a little bit of that into my […]
Oven baked. Greaseless. Fat free. No salt. That’s how I prefer my sweet potato chips to be so the only flavouring factor depends on the sweet potato’s own natural sweetness. I picked Vietnamese yellow sweet potatoes but you can of course use the orange/purple variety or a mix of both. If going plain isn’t your […]
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 […]
The husband prefers a higher protein diet these days because of his regular body-building and weight-lifting workouts. When we found really affordable tuna steaks from Fassler Gourmet the last time we were there, he’s totally into tuna now because it’s meaty in terms of texture and it’s a great source of lean protein with very little […]
Fresh cod fish has always been our favourite choice of fish but it’s just getting too expensive these days as price has gone up to almost $60 per kg at NTUC Fairprice. This time round, I decided to go for grouper fillets (fresh ones, I’m never a big fan of those pre-packed frozen types) instead as […]
Every time I boil lotus root soup at home, I’d end up with extra lotus root in the fridge because I can never find a small root just nice for 2 persons’ serving so this time I thought of slicing the lotus root up to make a really easy vegetable stir fry with french beans […]
