Broccoli Prawns

I love cooking my broccoli with prawns. It looks beautiful, healthy and also yummy. It is definitely on my Guest Menu. It is a standalone meal needing no other accompanying dishes. In the Chinese household, typically we make at least 3 dishes for a family of 4-5 people. If more than 6 people, minimum 4…

Fried Luncheon Meat (Spam) Noodles

This is my lazy way of making noodles especially when I run out of meat or forget to thaw the meat the night before. To flavour the noodles, the best bet is always the Luncheon Meat (Spam). It is perfect with noodles and fried rice, or even sandwiches. Definitely my go-to comfort food that is…

Spicy Fried Drumsticks

This is definitely my go-to comfort food. Occasionally, we will pamper ourselves with this rich dish. We can eat these fried drumsticks on their own or perfect with Nasi Lemak. It is not the usual fried chicken as its spice is very flavourful indeed. I love the crunchiness and yes, writing about it make me…

Lemak (Coconut Milk) Pineapple Prawn

I have always wanted to try cooking prawns with pineapple in curry. I wasn’t sure if it would turn out well as pineapples are acidic in nature. Anyway, as I was in the mood, I hinted to my hubby that regardless how it would turn out, he must be supportive (meaning, like it or not,…

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…

Prawn Paprika (Kung Po Style)

This dish is one of my favourites (yes, I have many favourites, hahaha). I usually serve it during buffet whenever I invite a large group of friends. This dish is an all-time favourite among my guests too. I love making this as it is so simple and easy to make. If you are like me,…

Tuna & Pea Filling

I usually make this as a filling for sandwiches but lately I have been using it with Roti Prata pastry. It is so yummy and simple to do. You can make as many as you like and put them in the freezer. A great snack for tea break or breakfast. Just put them in the…

Fusion Spice Chicken (Chindian Dish)

This dish was created because I simply couldn’t decide what I wanted to do with the chicken I just thawed. I wanted to cook a curry dish but I had it just a week ago. Then I wanted to cook chinese food but I was bored with all the same dishes. Whenever I am in…

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…

Sea Cucumber Pork Ribs

This is a MUST HAVE dish for Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner. This is one of my all time favourite. I love eating sea cucumber and the best way to enjoy the sea cucumber is to stew it with pork ribs and chinese mushrooms. It is the perfect combination. For normal home cooking, you can…
