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
I had bought this box of Caramel Brownie mix from Muji in March but haven’t had the chance to bake them till this week. Thank goodness for packaging and to a certain extent, natural preservatives! Anyway, these pre-mix boxes were going at 30% off their usual price of S$12.90 so I figured, why not? Note...
Winnie the Pooh Pasta Tricolore
I couldn’t resist this! Saw this at my supermarket and although I know that it’s gimmicky and it’s really not worth paying more for this (S$5.90), I could not help myself. Btw, there were Disney Cars and *gasp* Disney Princesses versions of this! So, for dinner…I actually ate Winnie the Pooh and friends. Tossed with...
Pan Seared Grouper Fillet With Cha Soba and Sauteed Spinach
Had a really bad stomach last night that resulted in cramps this morning (doc said that my bowels were still irritated) so it was home to rest and a light lunch to follow. So, I whipped up this super easy and healthy lunch for myself. Ingredients:1 fish fillet (you can use salmon/dory/snapper)1 serving of soba...
Dumplings Cooked 2 Ways
As mentioned in my previous post with the recipe on Pork Dumplings, I finally cooked them in 2 ways – fried as pot stickers and boiled, served with a healthy cabbage soup. The top shows the pot sticker version while the bottom shows the boiled version. The parents preferred the fried ones while I enjoyed...
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...
Open Face Sandwich with Spinach, Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Special Shrimp
Made a very simple lunch for myself today as I wasn’t hungry from all the feasting done last night. So, I pulled a few items from the fridge and made this simple open face sandwich but you can always opt to make it a clean salad. Ingredients:1 slice of bread, toasted (I used wholewheat)1/2 avocado,...
