Salmon Shioyaki With Miso Eggplant

Spotted salmon heads being sold at Meidi-ya (our go-to place for Japanese products) supermarket and they were only going for S$1.50 for half a head. Being the fish head loving girl that I am, I went on to buy 2 halves and decided to cook it the next day. Shioyaki literally means grilling with salt....

Pasta In A Hurry

I’m a lazy cook. I also like 1 dish meals when I’m eating alone. Less to prepare and clean up. Especially when you’re home with bad cramps. Comfort foods such as soup and rice porridge does take a little longer to prepare and I didn’t have the patience. Since I still have left over Winnie...

Muji Caramel Brownies

Pork Dumplings (aka Pot Stickers/ Jiao zi)

My best friend made pork dumplings last week, posted it up onto Facebook and made me ‘itchy’ to try my hands at making them. So I did! They don’t look the prettiest and I have to say that the wrapping is really THE most difficult part of this whole dish and if you’re lazy, just...

Eggs Benedict with Sauteed Mushrooms and Kale

Decided to cook brunch today as we had some more smoked salmon left (9 slices, to be exact) and I wanted to eat something non-Asian. It’s a full-on brunch which has a poached egg on a slice of wholewheat toast and topped with smoked salmon and homemade Hollandaise sauce. To make it a little healthier...
