When my Streamyx was disconnected for more than a week recently, I had some free time and decided to make pancakes for the gals since it’s been quite some time since I last made pancakes for them. I used wholemeal high fibre bread flour sunce there were still 2 packets in the fridge. I also put in…
On Christmas day, we were out shopping at Mid Valley. Hubby bought some bacon and sausages from Cold Storage and on Boxing Day, he woke up early to cook them for us for breakfast. The gals didn’t like scrambled eggs (and I ended up finishing half the plate) but loved the salty cheese sausages. I seldom…
This is a red radish. I never knew that there are a few types of radishes until my mil bought them. Apart from the white radish, there are also pink radish (pink skin white flesh) and green radish (green skin white flesh). The pink and green ones taste much better than the white radish. …
This is a pot of steaming hot, tasty and sweet fish soup boiled with ‘kau yue’ (is it called Mackeral in English?) bones, head, tomatoes, garlic and slices of ginger. The soup goes very well with noodles. I had made some fish paste last week and used the fish bones to make some soup. Do check…
We normally have 3 dishes for dinner – a must-have stir-fried vegetables, a fish or a chicken and an egg or tofu dish or another vegetables dish. Are these a lot? Hubby usually doesn’t join us for dinner as he works late and doesn’t like bland food (what an insult to my cooking eh?) catered…
I made pork chop for the first time several weeks ago. The first time, it didn’t turn out well as I had forgotten to marinate the pork with corn flour. Corn flour helps to soften the meat. A week later, I made another batch and this time it turned out well. The secret to having soft tender meat is…
This is my usual ‘poa pun’ (nutricious stuff in Cantonese) during my pregnancy – black chicken soup with snow fungus, wolfberries and red dates. Black chicken is known to be more nutricious than regular chicken. During my previous pregnancies, my mil or my former maids would chop and crush the black chicken into pieces before putting the chicken into a special double boiler with holes…
Instead of cooking rice porridge for my 2 sick kittens, I cooked oats with pork ribs yesterday. This is a perfect meal if you want to whip up something that’s fast and tasty. All it takes is less than half an hour. First, marinate the pork ribs with sesame oil, light soya sauce and corn flour…
Ever since the gals were down with fever and throat ulcer since last Saturday, we’ve been eating very plain and bland food – plain porridge, noodles in soup, steamed fish, steamed tofu, oats and bread. I am getting really fed up with these food and today, I’m going to ask my maid to pan fry…
This is the picture of the Bovril noodles that I had written earlier. Method : 1) Blanch meehoon and vegetables in hot water. 2) Remove them from the hot water with a colander and leave aside. 3) Fry shallots and garlic in sesame oil till fragrant in non-stick pan. 4) Add minced fish paste or minced chicken…
This baby must be a meat lover, especially beef, pork ribs, mutton and curry chicken. I am really crazy over steak and hubby is more than happy to know that coz he loves steaks too and now, he has even more excuses to buy steaks. Each week, we will shop for our steaks at Village Grocer…
My 2 gals love to eat ‘kon loa’ noodles (or noodles with dark thick sauce) from the hawkers stall. I don’t like my gals to be eating too much dark thick sauce as it’s an unhealthy condiment – the sauce is loaded with sugar that’s cooked till it becomes thick caramel. Any carbohydrate that is overcooked and burnt produce cancerous…
Here’s an appetizing dish that goes very well when eaten with porridge. It’s called ‘tau kok lup’ in Cantonese which literally means ‘diced long beans’ in English. All the ingredients in this dish are diced and toddlers will find this dish interesting and appetizing too. Be careful of choking hazard with the peanuts if you’re…
