Bean Sauce Pork Belly

I was being creative today. I took out 2 strips of pork belly with the intention to make Char Siu but decided to try something different instead. Whenever I am having trouble deciding, I will be in a mood to create or shall I say innovate? I am so pleased when the dish turned out…

Mussels Brinjal Curry

Again, a dish that I haven’t been making for quite a while. I wanted something different from the usual auspicious Chinese New Year (CNY) dishes. I have a few friends over for the CNY dinner and I thought it would be nice to prepare something different, hence the Mussels Brinjal Curry. I was pleasantly surprised…

Hakka Abacus (Suan Pan Zi)

It has been ages since I made this dish. I am glad one of my daughters reminded me about her craving and I promised her that I would include it in my blog so that she could follow the recipe. I usually make this dish whenever I have some helpers as it is quite labour…

Fried Tom Yam Bee Hoon Instant Noodle

I like to experiment different way of cooking a dish, like having quick and spicy noodle fried instead of soupy. I had the Myojo Tom Yam Bee Hoon Instant Noodle but it was a hot day and I didn’t want to eat the usual soupy meal. I decided to fry the noodle instead since I…

Baked Chilli Flakes Chicken Wings

Here is a dish I always make whenever I am lazing around or chilling out with hubby bingeing on Netflix. It is really simple to make and the best part is it is yummy. It is healthier than deep frying. It is perfect for a small lunch gathering with dear friends. Enjoy! RECIPE : A….

Special Sweet Sour Pork Belly

I dedicate this dish to my beloved late brother that had passed away almost 20 years ago. A foodie like me, I believed he too has my mother’s gene in cooking. I have never tried any of his cooking except for this dish which he specially made for me as and when he visited me…

Preserved Mustard Vegetable (Zha Choy) with Pork

This dish was recently requested by one of my daughters as she loves eating it with congee (porridge). It also goes perfectly with rice as it is salty and flavour-laden. I grew up eating this, totally pleased that my children love it too (so the apple really doesn’t fall too far from the tree, hahaha)….

Glossy Skin Soy Chicken

This dish is known in Cantonese as Soy Chicken (See Yao Kai) and is very popular among Chinese households. You can also enjoy this dish at any kopitiams (small restaurants) or hawker stalls that sell chicken rice. This dish can be prepared differently but tasted almost the same. Only after many attempts, did I finally…

Spicy Chilli Eggs

This dish is one of my daughters’ favourites. She has loved this dish since Uni days coinciding with the time that she decided to go off meat. I have to think of interesting vegetarian dishes to cook for her and it has since become a must-have dish whenever I visit her. She loves it, the…

Chilli Sweet Prawns

Frankly, I was craving for Chilli Crabs but since I was unable to find fresh crabs, I decided to substitute with prawns instead. It tasted equally yummy and I must say the baguette dipped into the gravy was delish. I highly recommend you to try it. I can devour the whole baguette dipped in the…
