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....

Dancing Crab Is Finger Licking Yummy!
Not sure what’s with the seafood binging when it comes to celebrating my parents’ birthdays but mum decided to treat Dad to a crab dinner at Dancing Crab. I had previously mentioned this place to them before and how I’ve read good reviews online so my mum has been ever curious. The decor of the...

Jumbo Still Tops Seafood But The Chilli Crabs Lack Fanfare
Went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant at their flagship restaurant at East Coast Park to celebrate the parents’ birthday early (thanks to my bro who’ll be overseas for a month). The last time I ever ate at Jumbo was at their Riverside Walk branch about 5 years ago. I am thoroughly amused by their bibs and...

Open Face Sandwich with Spinach, Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Special Shrimp

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,...

Seafood Spinach Wholemeal Pizza
This picture may not look much because the lighting couldn’t really capture the pizza in its glory but it’s a really yummy homemade pizza with salmon, mussels, spinach and an egg in the middle. I even drizzled some truffle oil on top for an extra oomph. Yup, I made everything from scratch simply because I...

Seafood Risotto perfumed with Truffle Oil
Being Asian, I love rice – white/ brown/ sticky/ short-grained/ long-grained…just rice. So, we had a pack of risotto rice sitting in our cupboards for ages (don’t worry…it hasn’t expired and was vacuumed packed), so we decided to cook seafood risotto. The recipe below cooks for 4. Ingredients1.5 cups of rice (using a standard cup...

Gluten & Wheat-free Baked Seafood Pasta with Mentaiko sauce and Spinach
Doesn’t that look gorgeous? Best of all, it’s gluten and wheat-free, which is good for those with endometriosis or those who are gluten/wheat intolerant. I found an organic food shop which also carries rice penne so I bought that and used this recipe to cover up that very granular taste of the pasta. So, what...

Pan Seared Tuna with Spaghetti
Yet another day in chef mode! This time round, it’s pan-seared tuna with spaghetti done primavera style. If you notice, I pan-seared the tuna such that it’s still pink in the middle. 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...
