A healthier take on the classic Thai dessert, this Mango Sticky Oatmeal is the epitome of un-monotonous oatmeal and mindful eating. I absolutely adore mango sticky rice and it is highly possible that I continuously exceed the imaginary quota an average human being should consume in their lifetime. Its simple yet rich flavours capture my…
Pan-Seared Steak with Red Wine Sauce
Juicy, succulent and tender, with every bite packed with a punch of flavour that leaves a yearning for the next, a beautifully cooked steak is the epitome of the culinary world. And yet, it is also at the same time probably the most cost-efficient dish in the history of fine dining. With the perfect cut…
Spicy Salmon Patties
If there’s one fish that I can only have for the rest of my life, that would be salmon. Raw or cooked, I absolutely love having fresh salmon… except that I do get pretty nervous about preparing raw salmon at home. But here is an easy recipe for cooked salmon that will certainly make for…
Pumpkin Hummus
‘Tis the season of the pumpkins. This year, instead of a rich and creamy pumpkin cheesecake, or a chocolate chip pumpkin muffin, I decided to opt for a much simpler yet healthy option. Did you know that although most hummus is made with chickpeas, you could also make this with beans? In this recipe, I…
Rendang Kambing
If I truly am what I eat, I’d probably be 30% chicken, 30% beef, 30% pork and 10% lamb. Lamb is in fact one of my favourite meats, but unfortunately isn’t as widely available as I’d like it to be. Whenever an opportunity presented itself, I would most certainly jump at it to indulge in…
Dutch Appeltaart
The best part of Thanksgiving is probably that moment just right after your final bites of turkey. Before you proceed to put on Netflix / play board games or what have you, there’s that magical moment where a delicious pie gets served fresh out the oven and fills the room with a euphoric aroma. Apple, pumpkin…
Earl Grey Cookies with Dark Chocolate
Wouldn’t it be lovely to pay only for a box of all the ingredients you’ll only need for what you’re baking? And God no, I’m not referring to cake mixes. Enjoy the full baking from scratch experience without the hassle of measuring, portioning, and shopping for individual ingredients when you purchase a Baking Kit with BakeStarters….
Dutch Baby Pancakes
Ever since I got my new cast iron skillet, these babies (literally) are my new go-to for breakfasts or brunches. No need for grocery shopping because you’d already have most of these ingredients sitting in your kitchen. (And if you don’t, I’m not judging) Almost like making a cake out of a box, you dump all…
Peanut Butter & Bacon French Toast with Caramelized Bananas
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: Those who love mixing sweet and savory, and those who think it’s absolutely blasphemous to do so. I certainly belong to the former. Chocolate and cheese, pulled-pork and maple syrup, honey and chilli, bacon and waffles… you name it! Today, we’re making Peanut Butter and…
Toblerone Fudge Brownies with Crinkly Crust
“Brownies are the easiest to make.” That’s what they say… and I do agree to an extent. These bad boys usually don’t need any creaming or whipping. Just mix it all up in a bowl and bake it in the oven! Poof! You’re done… also on the condition that you didn’t try to change the recipe. Now,…
Churros
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! To be honest, I’ve never celebrated this Holiday as we don’t have it in either Singapore or Canada. I’m simply hopping on the bandwagon to post a popular dessert in Mexico! When I think about churros, I’m reminded of theme parks and street fairs. Your rides would not be complete…
Pineapple Tarts with a Twist
So I guess it’s become a yearly affair. It just doesn’t feel like Chinese New Year when you don’t stuff yourself with the never-ending stream of cookies. And there’s just one in particular that I absolutely can’t do without.. my pineapple tarts. These are probably one of the most time-consuming cookies to make, yet quick to finish!…
Eggnog Scones with Orange Peel
Nothing spells Christmas like eggnog and cinnamon spice. A warm scone by the fireplace, away from the blistering cold as you slowly sip your favourite cup of coffee… Who am I kidding; it’s Singapore and it’s 28°C (82°F) here. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am starting to miss the snow! I’m waiting for the…
Pumpkin Waffles with Peanut Butter & Almond Nuts
Waffles again..?! Oops! Well, can I use the fall season as an excuse for these pumpkin waffles? (even though there’s no fall season where I live now) I really miss the pumpkin baking season in North America where everyone would make pumpkin-related dishes just because it’s “that time of the year”. Halloween, Thanksgiving and other…
S’mores Waffles
Sometimes the pain in making your own food is deciding on what to eat. So like many others, I looked through my kitchen pantry. Lo and behold, there was an unopened packet of marshmallow. S’mores it was! Making waffles after all, is plain amazing. You already have most of the items you need at home…
Coconut Waffles with Mango Syrup
It is quite astounding that I have never owned a waffle maker until now, given that I have always been obsessed over waffles since I was a child. My fascination with waffles was probably inherited from my dead, another waffle fanatic. But who can resist a plate of fresh waffles drizzled with maple syrup on a…
Mushroom And Chicken Risotto
I was never a big fan of reality TV shows as I found them to be overly dramatic and I was constantly annoyed with their dialogues. Even as food lover, I was reluctant to watch Masterchef. When I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon, I realized how addicting it was. The more I watched it, the hungrier…
Oreo Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Oreo cookies have always been a family favourite since I was a kid. You know what’s awesome about them? They’re pretty much bite-sized “Cookies ‘n Cream” biscuits! Also, identifying the Oreo thief in the family is invariably simple. Look out for black crumbs on the corner of their lips.. or stained black teeth! 😉 It’s such a…
