Fried Tofu Topped with Minced Pork and Preserved Vegetables In Special Sauce
Sorry that this photo wasn’t that appetising but trust me when I say that the taste of the food was quite good. This was an experiment because I needed another dish to complete the meal for the 4 of us but we already had quite substantial dishes so this one was just something ‘light’. Into...

Slow Roasted Pork Belly
I was really inspired by this video of Gordon Ramsay’s Slow Roasted Pork Belly that I even asked my mum to buy pork belly when she went to the market last weekend. A few differences from what I cooked and what Ramsay’s recipe required:– instead of fennel, I used pearl onion and ginger– instead of...

Smoked Salmon Wrap
With yoga at 1.30pm and waking up at 10am, I needed a substantial brekkie without making me feel like I’m gonna puke. So, I decided to make a simple and quick Smoked Salmon Wrap!

Beef Wrap With Caramelised Onions

Inspired by the delicious pork chops that I ate at my aunt’s place, I decided to buy pork chops when I came back to Singapore. So here’s the first ‘chop’ that I cooked!

Salmon Confit Is Back On Saveur’s Menu
There are a few changes to Saveur’s menu, one of which is that they now have a main course portion for their popular Saveur Pasta! Those pink things are sakura ebi and honestly, I find them relatively tasteless. It’s the chilli oil and sauce that they toss the pasta in that’s delish. I’m most glad...
