Here’s something really simple to prepare and cook – all under 20 minutes. I just came up with this dish because my student cancelled our lesson at the last minute and I needed to whip something up quick and healthy. Soumen is a type of Japanese noodle that is normally eaten cold in the summer...

I realised that I have been cooking but not posting up a lot of the photos of the foods that I’ve cooked recently so here they are: The above breakfast was a result of me being sick and tired of eating cold salami, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast when we were in Italy so the...

Cupcakes & Spaghetti Vongole
I just had the urge to bake on Monday, so I did! I cheated and just bought a pre-mix though. Haha…I baked lemon cupcakes with a simple icing. It was delish! I’m not a cake person so one is enough for me. 🙂 So satisfying to bake perfect cupcakes without having to measure the flour...

Quick ‘claypot’
In case you were wondering, yes, I do cook Asian food. 😛 Above is my healthy take on claypot rice. Verdict – too healthy. Haha…there’s something about claypot rice where the oil (lard at most times) just sings to your tastebuds. Anyway, my claypot rice is a simple one-pot affair of rice, dark soy sauce,...

Meat & Potatoes
Yup, I can be a meat and potatoes kinda girl too. Now, I got lazy this time round and decided to just roast everything in the oven. Note to self – beef tastes good only when it’s grilled or pan seared. My beef was cooked perfectly medium but…the flavours aren’t sealed in. Hence, grill or...

That’s how I like my tuna…and not the crap that comes in cans. While I was chopping up my garlic, bacon and french...

I Love Breakfast
It’s the most important meal in the day and it’s the one meal where I feel is simple but yet oh so satisfying when you eat something nice and hot. I’m obviously not talking about cereals and fruits. With any of my cravings, I just have to satisfy them and I’m fussy about 2 things...

First Successful Attempt at Poached Egg
I’ve been craving poached egg with hollandaise sauce for ages and since I’m on medical leave this whole week, I decided to try my hand at it! Tada…my first successful attempt! It came out perfect! Burst the yolk and it came out runny. Yum! I topped it off with a bit of black pepper and...

Poached Salmon with Rice
I cooked dinner – poached Salmon with carrots and shitake mushrooms. First off, yes I did bother to plate it nicely just because I was in the mood to do so. I felt that the salmon came out very well although my parents were so blase. Dad: Should have potatoes.Mum: What did you put inside?...
