Well, this is a good question. The reason I ask myself this question again is that I just had the most amazing dinner! I normally do not praise myself, but this is the first time I am blowing my own trumpet. I was in Hinckley Sunday Munch recently and next to me is Nic, …

This is an easy recipe that is super delicious. This recipe is based on the vegetarian noodles we had as kids. We use to buy fried beehoon from the local stall. The stall was very popular. We love the crunch of the soy sticks. It is a very simple dish and I have added some more …
I tried this after the Xmas feast, using left overs. In fact I made in on New Year’s eve and had it as snacks to welcome the New Year. I have quite a lot of wonton wrappers in the fridge. I used it to make wonton (what else?). There were a lot of it …
Now that Christmas is over, and many of us have over indulged, I have a recipe that is light, packed with protein and vegetable. If you need to feel less guilty, then try this healthy pancake for breakfast, a light lunch or as a snack. I have a butternut squash sitting in my kitchen …

Whatever You Have Tomato/Pasta Sauce As the Lunar new year is a fortnight away, I have been slowly clearing out my larder and other nooks and crannies that I stashed my dry and canned food. This is a good time to do this.The Chinese believe that we should clear out our house of rubbish so …
Hello again, Today I am sharing this recipe of mine which I used to cook very frequently when I was in Malaysia. I remember cooking it for my late dad’s birthday when I was around 14 years old. I was pretty chuffed when the guests commented that it was really tasty. I used quite a bit …
