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.

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

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

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,
