Recipes
These recipes are my family’s favourites which they enjoy and request for repeatedly. They are fail proof and repeatable by anyone with minimal cooking skill.
Chicken Tikka
I baked them in a dish instead of grilling. The chicken meat was tasty, tender and juicy and the skin was crispy.
Tofu Hot Plate
crispy golden tufo and minced pork in a gravy served on a hot plate with bubbling eggs.
Crispy Omelette
This recipe is a twist on the usual omelette that you would normally make at home.
Braised Beef Brisket with Radish (萝卜焖牛腩)
Soft tender flavoursome beef and radish - is definitely worth the two hours of braising.
Soft Fluffy Bun (basic method)
I have always wondered how they can get them so soft. I have now discovered how this is done.
Spicy Rice with Salmon
Spicy rice with salmon is an easy and quick recipe for a tasty one pot meal.
Peranakan Braised Pork with Assam & Gula Melaka
I was so impressed with the taste of this peranakan dish that I couldn't wait to try making it myself.
Pineapple Bun with Char Siew (叉燒菠蘿包)
It's a fluffy bun topped with a crispy buttery crust.
Fried Pork with Sichuan Vegetable (榨菜肉絲)
Fried Pork with Sichuan Vegetable is an easy dish to whip up for a quick dinner - all you will need is pork, Sichuan vegetable, ginger and chilli.
Fried Rice Noddles (with Cha Siew in Hot Black Bean Sauce)
The Fried Rice Noodles are so tasty having absorbed the delicious hot black bean sauce.
Egg Tart with a Buttery Crust
There is something inviting about egg tart that makes it so desirable - that soft, smooth and sweet egg custard in a crispy buttery crust!
Shortbread, So Simple to Make
Shortbread is crispy, crumbly and buttery. It's very easy to make and requires only four ingredients.
home-made Spicy Luncheon Meat
The benefit of making your own luncheon meat is you know how much and type of meat is put into the end product and can vary the amount of seasoning to suit your taste.
Carrot Cake (without butter or milk)
I love carrot cake as it's super moist and full of flavour and texture from the carrots, spices and nuts.
Prawn Dumpling aka Har Gow (蝦餃)
Making Har Gow at home is pretty daunting but the end result is so satisfying.
Steamed Rice Rolls (腸粉)
These steamed rice rolls are easy to make and are fragrant and smooth. The different sauces add deliciousness to the plain rice noodle.
