This is our family dish, My brother and I never fail to finish this dish whenever my mum cooked it.
Hence, I tried to cook it and there I got it. I was reminded of my mum's cooking and the homely dishes which I used to eat when I was young. The dish is also simple to cook with little ingredients and yet it is so flavourful that you can eat it with plain rice or porridge.
It's been a while since I last blogged. Have been busy with household chores, and not sure why household chores are always never ending. Today, I am going to post my experimental receipe - Home Made Char Siu.
The Char Siu may not look like the usual Char Siu that you normally see, as I did not add any red colouring to it. This receipe is also easy, and do not require any baking or roasting at all. To my surprise, the meat is tender and juicy.
I grew up eating at hawker centre. In Singapore, we have a open air eating complex which sells variety of food at a cheap price. We usually call such eating places hawker centre. Be prepared to come with tissue paper as it is usually quite hot to eat at a hawker centre. However, this is really worth it as there are simply many variety of delicious food there.
Today, I am going to recommend the two delicious food which I usually eat at Zion Road Hawker Centre. Zion Road hawker centre is just across the Great World City Shopping Mall.
I got some chicken breast meat from the supermarket and decided to do a simple culinary experiment. Hence, I have decided to try out black pepper chicken chop.
To my surprise, the chicken chop was delicious just by using simple ingredients. The breast meat was tender, juicy and yet flavourful. I had originally planned to cook some sauce to go with it. After tasting it, I felt it was good eating on its own.
You can serve it with some fries and vegetables to go along as a meal, or simple eat it with rice.
I bought some pork loins from supermarket and was thinking what to do with them. I saw cheese and ham in my fridge, and thought of trying out Pork Cordon Bleu. I was a little hesitant to cook it at first. It seemed like a lot of work and preparation. After trying out, it was not as bad as I thought of.
It was worth the efforts. Seeing my husband finishing the dish makes it worth my day. You can expect my two fluffy dogs sneaking out at my kitchen, hoping to find bits of food on the floor. I hope you can try out this dish. It's really simple, classic good food.
It has been raining for a couple of weeks in Singapore. The sunny city has become wet and cool. Hence, I have decided to make this comforting chicken soup for my hubby since we were both starting to feel unwell. This soup is my all-time favourite as it is simple, fuss-free and yet delicious.
The key ingredient here is onion. Putting in onion makes the soup sweeter and more flavourful. Besides, consuming onions in cold weather help to boost our immunity, helping to fight off cold and flu. I have also put in carrots and potatoes in the soup. Hence, this soup is highly nutritious, making it a hearty and warming food in this cold weather.
I never like mushrooms since young. I will avoid it at all costs as I think it is boring, tasteless and lack of crunch. However, it is rather strange that I am starting to appreciate mushrooms nowadays.
There are many health benefits of eating mushrooms. Mushrooms have low sodium and fat, and they are high in fibre. They are also known to improve the body's immune system as they have a high antioxidant content. If cooked properly, they can be delicious too!
I love putting assorted mushrooms together and cook them. I think it's boring to consume one kind of mushroom, so putting different mushrooms together adds variety to the dish. I learn to cook this dish from watching a cooking show and I experiment it and adapt from there. Being a lazy person, I prefer to do simple cooking. Hence, I cut down many steps and make adaptions. Surprisingly, this dish tastes refreshing and good.
