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…

Achar Salad

I love this salad to the moon and back. Seriously, I can just finish a bowl on its own. I grew up eating this special dish. Whenever mum made this, it would be snapped up within minutes. I was craving for it and was trying to replicate my mum’s signature dish. I know many people…

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…

Smashed Cucumber Salad

I learnt this dish sometime ago but I haven’t been making it for years until I remembered the special cucumber salad during my holiday in Hanoi. That homey cucumber they served was awesome and I started craving for it. Here is my version and I hope you will like it too. It is pretty refreshing…

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…

Special Curry Chicken

This dish will always be credited for getting me started on my food journey. I remembered it so well – that very first time I made it. I was in the secondary school. There was a Red Cross Society gathering at school, and everyone was chipping in for it. When help with catering was asked,…

Stir-fry Belacan Kangkong (Water Spinach)

This is a popular dish among Malaysians and Singaporeans, and is also one of my favourites as well. Whenever I am visiting either country, I must order this dish. So happy I found this dish at Chinatown recently. Yeah, time to indulge before the season is over. RECIPE: A. Heat wok with 3 tbsp of…

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…

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…
