Chinese New Year Salad (Yee Sang)
  Every single time I’m armed with a piece of chopsticks, tossing yee sang into the air and shouting “Loh Hei” at the top of my voice, there’s always a small, childish part of me that can’t help but laugh with absolute glee. “I’m playing with food!!” Tossing yee sang is a traditional practice during Chinese New Year dinners, and it is one seeped with centuries of culture and tradition. This action is believed to be a symbol of abundance, prosperity Read More
Tomato and egg sandwich
  Sticking to my attempts at making healthy breakfasts, I am using wholemeal bread instead of white bread for this sandwich. The nutty, grainy brown bread is made with whole grain which has a 100% extraction rate, meaning nothing is removed from the grain during milling. Hence, they contain the endosperm and the bran which has more nutrients and minerals unlike the refined white flour that is used to make white bread. Wholemeal bread possess a whole load of energy-giving complex Read More
Roasted Duck Sang Choy Bow
  I recently had the pleasure of indulging in some very tasty Roasted Duck in Perth. There was one problem though- my family and I didn’t manage to finish it, and now I’ve got leftovers. Taking the saying ‘waste not, want not’ truly to heart, I decided to make this dish. Sang Choy Bow with Roasted Duck? Leftovers have never tasted this good! The filling for this dish can be made with practically anything you have in hand. Along with some onions, Read More
Asian Chicken Salad
  This salad is unmistakeably Asian, as their citrusy aroma and mixture of flavours will convince you. Made with ingredients such as lemongrass, shallots, chillies, ginger bud flower (bunga kantan) and calamansi juice, there’s no denying the distinct Asianness that’s present here. The importance of the variety of ingredients in any dish is clearly demonstrated in this salad. All the ingredients combine to present a truly satisfying dish, and it is all thanks to the diverse flavours of each and every Read More
Asian Prawn Cocktail
  Gone are the days when my dad brought us for dinners at hotel restaurants and the first thing I would order is prawn cocktail. I was 7 then and now I’m almost reaching my 30s and have not forgotten my love for Prawn Cocktail!  The crisp bite into fresh lettuce leaves paired with juicy, fresh prawns drizzled with an amazing cocktail sauce is one childhood memory not to be forgotten. I hope my little one will share the love I Read More
Scrambled Egg Salad
  So I fell in love and couldn’t resist going home with the single aim of recreating this dish. My encounter with it recently at the Acme Bar & Coffee at Troika, Kuala Lumpur not only added another recipe to my list of loveable foods, it also heightened my appreciation for an ingredient we usually overlook- white sesame seeds! Of course it does make its appearance in many dishes, especially Chinese ones, and on top of the much loved burger bun, Read More
