Sambal Goreng
November 2, 2025
The wonderful thing about living in Singapore is that you grow up with a crazy medley of all kinds of street food – think of Chinatown, little India and Malay kampung celebrations all rolled into one. You have an unerring instinct to tell the best pratha, nasi lemak or wonton noodles. The tastes are deeply … More Sambal Goreng
Shanghai Cauliflower Fried Rice
October 5, 2025
I realize I keep saying it’s been a while since I’ve posted and the excuse has always been that I’ve been busy. Well I do have a more legit reason for the several month long hiatus. A cancer diagnosis in January, an 18 hour surgery, 4 cycles of chemotherapy and 15 days of radiotherapy put … More Shanghai Cauliflower Fried Rice
Luffa Soup
May 20, 2025
Helper D has been away and it’s been a good break, I think, for all of us. She took a month off (yes I have had many people ask why I gave 4 weeks instead of the requisite 2 weeks) but somehow I think it’s only fair for someone who has to live in with … More Luffa Soup
Easy Fish Noodle Soup

Gochugaru Salmon Bite Salad
July 12, 2024
Traditional Chinese food actually seldom has fresh salads. I grew up loving my vegetables cooked. Dear hubs however could demolish piles of salad greens (he’s half herbivore). Nonetheless I’ve been recently intrigued at how well Asian flavors lift salads and I’ve been enjoying the creativity of developing this kind of salad. I love adding salmon … More Gochugaru Salmon Bite Salad
Jackfruit Ice Cream
June 15, 2024
I was really excited to try out a new keto ice cream and waffle store in Singapore. There aren’t many keto ice creams available unlike in places like the US, and for some reason the range of keto ice creams has dropped in major supermarkets. So it was such a delight to discover this shop … More Jackfruit Ice Cream
