Bak Kut Teh is one of the easiest and fastest one-pot meal to dish up for your family. When I am feeling a tad lazy to cook dinner, I will prepare Bak Kut Teh. I will throw in some hard boiled eggs, fresh Enoki mushrooms, dried Shitake mushrooms, garlic, fried soy bean sheet (foo choke)…
Here is another sweat-free and oil splatter-free delish meat dish that I prepared for dinner yesterday. I never knew that my oven can do so much to help me with cooking so many mess-free delish meals for my kids. My oven-grilled pork chop tasted very much like ‘char siew’ as I added agave nectar which…
I made Chicken Adobo and mashed potatoes (at the request of the girls) for dinner tonight. It was my first time cooking Chicken Adobo, which is a Filipino dish. I saw this recipe in Nami’s Just One Cookbook the other night and since I had all the ingredients plus it was super easy to cook…
This is another super easy to whip up dish that is really lip-smacking, which I’ll bet kids and adults will love – grilled honey soy sauce chicken drummets. In my case, I replaced honey with agave nectar. Agave nectar is a healthier alternative to sugar and honey. It has lower calories, lower GI and has…
The girls had been bugging me to make Japanese potato salad since months ago. I had been putting it off until their exams were over. Actually it ain’t very difficult or very messy to make potato salad. It is just time consuming since there are lots of peeling, cutting, boiling, mashing and mixing involved. Thankfully…
Here’s another oven-grilled meat dish that I whipped up for the girls. My most critical and persnickety daughter said “mummy, I’ll give you an A+++ for this dish!” That sure was a very motivational remark to make me dish up more delish oven-grilled meat dish for them 😀 Picture below shows the chicken before the…
This is what we had for dinner last night…. Grilled wild salmon fish and threadfin fish with herbs, EVOO and fresh pineapple. It was my first time grilling fish with pineapple and I was amazed with the strong aromatic and fruity flavor the pineapple effused into the fish meat. When the fish was grilling in…
I have always disliked Mondays. As much as I want to avoid the Monday Blues, it’s hard. Yesterday was yet another maniac Monday for me. I made 5 trips to send and pick up the girls from morning through evening. In between trips, I did grocery shopping, ran some errands and quickly whipped up dinner. …
Today is one of those days when I feel really bleh! Just tired and no zest. Throat still hurts and body feels like I have carried tons of weight yesterday. I have been telling the girls almost everyday that I feel freaking tired. Not sure if it’s caused by a deficiency in iron, my low…
Bread Pizza is one of the girls’ favorite home-prepared ‘fast food’. This is an excellent way to get the girls to eat capsicum, something which they do not normally fancy. I normally top my bread pizza with lots of chopped antioxidant-packed capsicum (red and yellow ones), vitamin-packed cherry tomatoes, power-packed big onions, super mushrooms, protein-packed…
This is my third attempt in making kaya (coconut milk + egg jam) using the crockpot and this time, the texture has improved as I used my most helpful kitchen helper – the Shimono food processor to blend it after cooking the kaya in crockpot for 2 hours. This is a sweat-free and easy-peasy way…
It’s been almost a week since the MIL left for Hong Kong and the girls are still pretty happy surviving on mummy’s simple and no-frills meals. Here are some of the simple one-dish platters that I had dished out… Dinner on 30 Aug 2013 – Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with sawi and minced meat in egg…
