Pandan Seafood Patties Recipe

I was quite amused by what I came out with this time when my initial plan was to do a seafood version of Thai-style pandan chicken. I would say this Pandan Seafood Patties Recipe was greatly inspired by not just the pandan chicken but Asian-style otah and Western-style seafood cakes too. If possible, use fresh […]

Seafood Hor Fun Recipe 海鲜河粉

Was doing my weekly grocery shopping at NTUC Fairprice and I came across this housebrand Sar Hor Fun (沙河粉) which I hadn’t cooked with before so I bought one packet to try out. This is different from the usual fresh ones that I buy from the market because this hor fun comes in dried form […]

Fish Maw Soup Recipe 鱼鳔蟹肉羹

Today’s weather seems rather erratic. Woke up to a morning of haze and then it began raining cats & dogs for hours. What a depressing start for a Friday. Thought I would make something comforting, just to chase away the blues. Gotta be a hot & piping, hearty & wholesome soup. This is Fish Maw […]

Thai Style Hot and Sour Curry Recipe

I don’t remember eating a hot & sour curry in Thailand or any Thai restaurant before so when I saw this Maepranom Brand’s Hot and Sour Curry Paste, I just had to grab one to try. This hot and sour curry tasted pretty unique because the spice paste contained shrimp paste so overall, it was […]

Previously, I had shared a Glass Noodle Salad Recipe in which I had added chicken breast meat. When I came back from Bangkok, I thought of making the dish again in the same way that I had it while there. Less colours this time as this remake version of Glass Noodle Salad consisted of mainly […]

Singapore Chilli Crab Style Prawns Recipe

Singapore Chilli Crab is no doubt one of our iconic local dishes. While I do like to indulge in the chilli crab from Jumbo Seafood every now and then, nothing beats the flavoursome chilli crab that my maternal grandma used to make. I came across Violet Oon’s chilli crab recipe a while ago and it […]

Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant @ Bugis Junction

Whenever I visit Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant @ Bugis, I will reminisce the good old busy days of working with my team in the vicinity. Despite slogging away 24/7 then, we always tried to find time to treat ourselves to a good meal whenever time permitted us to do so and this Shanghainese restaurant was […]

[Closed] Todai International Cuisine, Seafood & Sushi Buffet Restaurant @ Marina Bay Sands

Update: This restaurant is no longer in operation. I can’t believe I took so long to blog about Todai even though I’ve been here like four times. The first time was when the husband decided to try out his first ever eating challenge at the Todai Spicy Sushi Roll Competition. He won the challenge and […]

Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee @ S11, Ang Mo Kio Central

It was 8 o’clock in the evening and the husband and I were roaming everywhere in Raffles City, undecided on where to have our dinner till we chanced upon Buffet Town that was bustling with life (and noise) inside. A peep into the restaurant through the glass window, I saw piles of chilled crayfish, oysters […]

Fish with Ginger and Spring Onions Recipe 姜葱鱼片

Whenever my family and I have meals in Chinese restaurants, stir fried fish with ginger & spring onions is probably the only fish dish we’d order as it’s easier to eat (without bones), lower in cholesterol compared to other seafood choices and doesn’t taste fishy due to the use of ginger that can conceal any […]

Harvest of the Sea Buffet Dinner @ Spices Cafe, Concorde Hotel

I had a sudden craving for crabs but couldn’t make up my mind on where to eat. Should we go for chilli crabs at Jumbo? Salted egg crabs at G7? Or butter crabs at Mellben? Finally the husband suggested to go somewhere new (so I can try and blog about it too) and he went […]

BBQ Sambal Stingray Recipe

A thick, meaty slab of stingray grilled to perfection and served with tangy, spicy sambal chilli. Tender, moist meat that simply melts in your mouth. Heavenly. That is why my husband and I often head to Chomp Chomp Food Centre (read my earlier food post) for this delish dish. It’s a pity I don’t have […]
