In one of my previous posts about factory outlet shopping at Woodlands Loop, I mentioned about this Japanese Crispy Chicken with Seaweed from CS Tay (read the blog post here) which is one of the few processed foods that I do buy and use in cooking. And this is a one dish meal that I […]

Earlier when I went to Fassler (the salmon factory at Woodlands Loop), I bought two big packs (2 kg worth) of salmon belly and so happened that I came across a Salmon Belly Miso Soup Recipe by food editor Tan Hsueh Yun in The Sunday Times, I decided to give the recipe a try. Salmon Belly […]

Korean japchae is very similar to the Chinese chap chye where both literally mean ‘a mixture of different vegetables’. One thing that I really like about japchae is the use of dangmyeon (sweet potato noodles – you can get this from Korean supermarkets or NTUC Fairprice) which are thick and more chewy than the normal […]

I used to eat a lot of steamed egg (see my recipe here) whether it’s with porridge at home or when I get a takeaway from the mixed rice stall but it can get really boring over time as it’s always the same smooth and silky texture. This time I wanted to experiment a new […]

I love Teochew style steamed fish (see my cod fish recipe here) because it was a dish that I grew up eating as my Granny who’s Teochew used to make it really often when I was little. Likewise, every time I visited my in-laws in Essex, England, my mum-in-law would cook the Cantonese style of steamed […]

Char kway teow (aka stir fried flat rice noodles) is one of our top national dishes in Singapore that so many of us love especially the crispy pork lard that really gives it depth and flavour as well as the juicy cockles. However as we are all getting health conscious these days, eating char kway […]

I had reviewed DoDo’s new fish luncheon product a couple of days ago (click here to read) so this is the other recipe that I came up with by using up the remaining fischeon I had. This fried rice was definitely much better than the pasta in my opinion as the fischeon here played second […]

Besides creamy white sauce pasta, aglio olio (‘garlic & oil’) is another of my favourite. I love the garlic-infused olive oil that’s so fragrant yet I don’t find it greasy at all. Adding a little knob of butter will give that extra kick when you dig into this spaghetti. So easy to prep, so easy […]

After learning of this DoDo’s new product through its launch campaign a while back, I bought a can from the supermarket out of curiosity just to find out how DoDo fischeon would taste like as compared to luncheon meat. ‘Fischeon’ simply means ‘Fish Luncheon’. It is available in 3 flavours: Original, Cheese and Black Pepper […]

I flipped through a cooking magazine at the library a while ago and saw an interesting recipe of scrambled tofu with pistachios & cranberries so I thought of coming up with my own version with figs, cashews, chickpeas and raisins. I love figs. They are a really healthy treat to snack on. Figs help to […]

One thing I like about having steamboat for CNY reunion dinner is that the unfinished ingredients can always be chilled again for later use so nothing goes to waste. And instead of having a second steamboat the next day, we can turn the leftovers to fresh new dishes again like this steamed prawns recipe. Steamed […]

I bought a slab of shark fillet from the supermarket without any idea on how to cook it. In fact, I had only eaten shark a few times and didn’t have much of a good impression of it but I couldn’t resist buying it as it looked fresh and meaty and it wasn’t expensive too. […]

The last time when I injured my foot, my Chinese doctor recommended me to eat more steamed salmon (instead of raw or fried ones) to help with the inflammation and to improve bone density and strength so I prepared this easy steamed salmon dish 2-3 days per week for dinner till my foot condition was […]

I had stocked up on chicken before the Chinese New Year just so I could make some good steamboat broth with them. And after all those feasting of CNY goodies, I thought of using some of those chicken drumsticks to make this easy ‘non-heaty’ dish to go with some salad greens for a simple dinner. […]

My husband is always urging me to cook his favourite lup cheong (chinese sausage) as he really loves it. I prefer to buy the Golden Bridge brand of lup cheong in “Nu Er Hong” (chinese rice wine) flavour. Their sausages are less fatty yet flavoursome. Perfect for stir-fries, claypot rice and this particular dish combined […]
