Pork wontons is one of my favourite meals when I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to cook. The great thing about it is that I can freeze ahead of time and just take it out when I want to eat. The wontons are filled with ground pork and spices, and this recipe is something I’ve been making since I was young with my mom. Pork…
If you haven’t guessed it already, I have a big sweet tooth, just check out my mochi bread, taro daifuku. Lately I’ve been finding a lot of dessert I want to make. This Japanese souffle cheesecake is something I’ve been making for a long time. In the past, the cake I made was really good in flavour but it always cracked and also deflated once…
Hong shao rou is very popular dish in China. This is also one of my favourite dish my mom used to cook for me. I used to love eating pieces of pork belly with boiled eggs. It was definitely one of the dishes that will make me eat a whole bowl of rice along with veggies. Once I moved out, I missed some of the…
I’m a self confessed sweet lover. I actually didn’t like to snack or eat sweet stuff when I was young. However, once I was in my early twenties, I’ve developed a sweet tooth. I also started to cook more. While I love sweet and rich dessert, most of the time I prefer my dessert to be slightly sweet. I’m also a fan of anything made…

However, I’ve been trying to revisit some foods that I’ve shied away before and giving them a second chance. What is Taro? For those who don’t know what a taro is, it’s basically a root vegetable. It’s more common…
A delicious bowl of cold noodles that requires minimal cooking and it’s great in hot weather for a refreshing taste! We had a heatwave in the middle of April with temperature as high as 28 degrees Celcius. It felt like summer in early spring. This type of weather makes me a very lazy cook. There is nothing worse than standing around stove sweating while cooking….
As I’m getting more into baking and candy making, I realized that I want easy and simple to follow recipes that I can create. This caramel sauce is one of the easiest sauce I’ve made so far. However, you have to be patient like I mentioned in my Vietnamese baguette post. I’ve been baking on and off for a few years I’ve noticed how little…
I always loved baking and that amplified during the pandemic. One of the first recipe I made for this blog was baguettes, specifically Vietnamese baguettes. Before I attempted to make the baguettes, I needed to do a bit of research. While most bread requires flour, water, salt, yeast and sugar there are specific methods of working the dough and baking that makes each bread different….
Welcome to my first post on my blog! I thought I should start off with something easy. I’ve recently moved into our new home and I’m excited to start cooking again. For the past 6 months we have been living at our respective parents’ place so we haven’t got the itch to cook for ourselves because we got home cooked food everyday courtesy of our…
