Chilli Long Bean (Snake Beans) Prawns

This is actually a common dish in Malaysian and Singaporean households. I would say it is the fusion of Malay and Chinese cuisines because the chilli has the influence of the Malay culture and the long beans from the Chinese culture. Over the years, I have also seen this dish in Thai food menus and…

Tempura Mix

Tempura, for me, is just prawns, hahaha. It is also yummy to have some vegetables such as okra (lady fingers), brinjal (eggplant), sweet potatoes, pumpkin and any veggies you like. Nowadays, you can get a pre-mixed batter for tempura, and if you can’t get hold of it, try this simple method. It works for me…

Red Sauce Prawns

This is my 1st attempt to replicate the famous yummy Lobster Red Sauce we had recently in one of the restaurants I frequent. Although it is really yummy, I might have left out one missing ingredient. On its own, it is still very yummy and it was perfect to make pasta with the leftover sauce….

Spicy Tamarind Prawns

Friends who knew me will also know that I love eating prawns. The sad part is I am allergic to ‘unfresh’ prawns. My hubby likes to tease me that I am a good tester if one wants to know if their prawns are fresh. I eat all types of prawn and I love to explore…

Parsley Butter Prawns

This dish is unlikely a pure Chinese dish as it uses butter. However it is quite common to find it on the menu in most Chinese restaurants in Mauritius. This Mauritian Chinese dish is a marriage of the east and the west. They call it Butter Prawns. I love the aroma of butter and it…

Tomato Chicken

This is my Mauritian-inspired dish called TOMATO CHICKEN, also known as Rougaille. This is a home-cooked local dish among the locals. You only get to eat it at home as it is not served at restaurants. I tried cooking it using my imagination because I was told the hero of the dish is the tomatoes….

Special Black Sauce Prawns

I love prawns so I will constantly try cooking it in different ways. This SPECIAL BLACK SAUCE PRAWNS is one of my family’s favourite dish. This is simple and easy to make. Some prawn dishes taste better with the shell on and this is one of them. The sauce is soaked well into the prawn…

Prawn Masala

Cooking is my hobby. I like to create and imagine my dishes first before cooking them. It was Deepavali and I decided to make a prawn masala for a change. Never done this dish before and although it was my 1st attempt, I know it will not go wrong and was even excited to see…

Wasabi Prawns

I love eating prawns. Over the years, there are many favourite dishes I have made for my family and this particular WASABI PRAWNS dish is my daughter’s favourite. I tried this dish in a small restaurant in Singapore many years ago. I loved it so much I wanted to replicate it. At that time, I…

Butter Garlic Prawns

BUTTER GARLIC PRAWNS is one of my speciality and loved by my friends and family. I love eating prawns and am happy as long there is a prawn dish in my menu…hahaha. I highly recommend this dish as it is simple, easiest and doesn’t time long time to make. This dish is definitely one of…
