Chinese Rice Wine Chicken (Gai Chao)

This is a traditional confinement food specially for the newborn’s mother. I love it and I have learnt it from my beloved sister who made this for me during my confinement days (especially the first 30 days after giving birth). Since my mum had passed on before I was married, I am incredibly blessed that…

BABY ABALONE BROCCOLI

This is a must-have dish for the Chinese New Year Reunion dinner or on birthdays. Honestly, I can’t afford to eat this dish so often as abalone is really costly, hence this dish is only served on special celebrations. I tend to cook it this way as it is simple and yummy. Hope you like…

Baked Portobello Mushrooms

It had been awhile since I last cooked portobello. I have limited recipes using this ingredient but today, at the supermarket, the fresh portobello mushrooms caught my eyes. I stood there for awhile deciding whether I should get it and how I would want to cook it. Yes, this recipe came to mind and why…

This dish is one of my favourites as it is very presentable, fresh and appealing, but most of all it is really yummy. I love snow peas so I tend to cook them in this simple and fast method. It is also very popular among my guests as it looks so inviting. It is also…

I love this dish. I called this my MVD, Most Versatile Dish. It can be eaten as a main dish on its own, a real rice stealer and the young children love it as it is so flavourful. Whenever I make this dish, I usually cook a big portion so that I can use some…

Ginger Chicken

This is a homey classic rice stealer dish. It brings out the appetite in you and it is packed with aromatic fragrance. I must say it is again another popular dish in the family. It is simple and easy to make. Quite straight forward in fact. Hope you like it too. Enjoy! RECIPE : A….

Pear Pork Ribs

This is the first time I used pear for pork ribs. It turned out to better than I have expected. I was planning to make the usual pork rib lychee but since I have the ripe soft Bosc pear, I decided to use it instead. The pear has definitely added sweet flavour to the ribs….

Curry Chicken Noodle (Laksa Mee)

I love eating curry mee this way especially garnished with Yong Tau Foo. It is a perfect combination and will always be my comfort food. You can add any type of noodles you fancy. For me, it will be my favourite bee hoon (rice vermicelli) and fresh yellow egg noodles for hubby. This noodle dish…

Mauritian Hakka Boiled Noodles

The first time I tasted this noodle was in one of the cafes in Mauritius. Initially I wasn’t impressed as it looked so plain and only garnished with a spoonful of minced pork or chicken and sprinkled with a little spring onion. I didn’t think it would taste good but one mouthful was all it…
