Frozen Banana Ice Cream with Blueberries Recipe

Every weekend I’d always buy a big bunch of bananas from the supermarket as bananas are the best superfood to eat prior to my morning gym sessions for the much needed fuel. However I’d always end up with 2-3 pieces remaining which would eventually turn black and then get thrown away. Quite some time ago, […]

Oven Baked Falafel Recipe

I’d been thinking of making falafels at home for quite some time but I found it a hassle to deep fry them (well, besides being heaty) when I only needed a quick (hopefully healthy) bite as a snack. So yes, oven baking was the only way out. I added panko to the chickpeas to bulk them up […]

Stir Fried Beef with Spring Onions & Ginger Recipe

Using spring onions in a wok stir fry is an excellent way to impart this extra fragrance, sweetness and delicate flavour to any meat or seafood, be it fish slices, chicken, beef or even frog legs. And with the use of ginger slices, any possible fishy or gamey smell is just reduced to none. My […]

Pork Belly & Potato Stew Recipe

This Pork Belly & Potato Stew Recipe was inspired by this homely stewed chicken side dish I had at Ootoya Japanese Restaurant. Hence I used mirin (Japanese rice wine) to give the broth a robust flavour and sweetness while adding this Japanese element into it. Instead of using chicken dark meat (leg or thigh), I opted for pork belly slices […]

Flourless Ham, Egg & Cheese Muffin Recipe

This Flourless Ham, Egg & Cheese Muffin Recipe is almost a replica of my Egg & Ham Breakfast Muffin Recipe except that this time, I used beaten egg instead of cracking a whole egg into each muffin and also added some cheese into it. It kind of reminded me of a crustless quiche. Have this for […]

Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe

Mashed potato is such a classic dish that I’m sure most of us have eaten a lot of it since we were little. While I like those with creamy textures that almost melt in the mouth, the coarsely mashed ones are equally tasty especially if you don’t mind eating potato skins. I like to keep […]

Pasta Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

Every now and then, I like to make a salad for dinner on the first or second weeknight especially after a weekend of non-stop indulgence which is all I crave to detoxify myself from inside out, lol. For this pasta salad recipe, I made a wholegrain mustard dressing that was inspired by a side salad I had […]

Sweet & Sour Luncheon Meat Recipe

Hands up if you like luncheon meat! 🙂 Probably one of the most versatile canned meats that is just delicious on its own and almost never go wrong in any way we cook it. I was inspired by this sweet and sour luncheon meat dish from my favourite mixed veg rice stall and I thought of making it […]

Oven-Baked Salmon with Soba Noodles Recipe

  Soba or buckwheat noodles are a great choice of carbs to cook with because they have this somewhat nutty flavour and hence don’t really need complicated seasonings to dress it up. This is another healthy recipe that doesn’t require much prep work. I chose to oven-bake my salmon but of course you can pan-fry them […]

Sweet & Spicy Tempeh & Tofu Stir Fry Recipe

Inspired by one of my favourite dishes, Sambal Goreng (fried tempeh, firm tofu & long beans in a spicy sambal paste) which we can always get from any nasi padang stall. Instead of using long beans, I substituted with broccoli florets instead and added an extra touch of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and sweet […]

Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Macaroni Recipe

This stir fried pasta dish is similar to my Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti Recipe except that I have used macaroni as my choice of pasta. If you like oglio olio (spaghetti with garlic & oil) and don’t mind a little tang and heat, you are likely to enjoy this macaroni recipe as it has a great […]

Tempeh, Tofu & Avocado Salad Recipe

This is another rendition of my Egg, Bacon & Avocado Salad Recipe that I just made up on the spot the other day for lunch after I came back from gym. While I decided to keep the hard-boiled egg in this, I substituted the bacon with firm tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans) hence making this a […]

Ham & Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

What do pizzas, cheese burgers, lasagne, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese steak and nachos fries (oh boy, the list just goes on doesn’t it?) have in common? Yes, they are all CHEESY foods. If I’d name an ingredient which I think would be the world’s best invention, I’d have to say it’s cheese. It’s […]

Oven Baked Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas Recipe

Created another new recipe in the kitchen today when I was looking through some of my older recipes and thought I’d make a non-carb version of this Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti. Off went the pasta and I used a whole pack of crunchy sugar snap peas which I loved. Somehow I just thought garlic, […]

Tandoori Chicken Recipe

Today is Diwali (also known as Deepavali, The Festival of Lights) and I just want to wish all my Hindu readers, a very Happy Deepavali! Suddenly felt inspired to share this Tandoori Chicken Recipe when I was meddling with my spice rack in the kitchen earlier. This doesn’t look like your usual red-coloured tandoori chicken? […]

Chinese Style Grilled Chicken Recipe

It is probably easiest to just buy bottled or packet sauces from the supermarket but most of the times, we can actually use some of our cooking essentials to create an equally flavoursome marinate sauce for meats. In this Grilled Chicken Recipe, oyster sauce and honey do the trick so you’d get this slightly sticky coating […]
