The Chinese have a way of preparing vegetables and blanching the vegetables is one of the easiest and finest way of cooking it. This recipe is suitable for vegans and omnis as well. It is a dish that most of us Chinese make as a quick and easy dish. I always make this
Easy stir-fried sugar snaps is a one-pot meal. We all lead busy lives and sometimes, cooking is the last thing we want to do. Even though I love to cook, I have other things to do as well. I say one-pot is because I only cook this one dish. This dish contains protein, loads of …
These spring rolls are so easy to make. My version is close to the fresh ones that we used to have when we were kids. The fresh version is still available in the streets and markets. Jicama is the vegetable for fresh spring rolls or popiah as we call it. I remember when I was …
Crystal Dumplings or Chai Kuih is also know as Soon Kuih in the southern part of Malaysia. This is one of my favourite Chinese snacks. When I was growing up in Malaysia, my neighbour from 10 doors away used to make this. As they are of the Teochew dialect and we are Hokkiens, their festivals …

Continuing my Penang holidays; on the third day of CNY, we decided to go to Penang Design Village. This is a newish development featuring discount designer goods. One can get a good and cheap deal on designer stuff, great for stingy Penangites. It is located in Batu Kawan, in the main land, or Seberang Perai; …
Well, due to the excess vegetables from the ‘vegetable pagoda’ on the East Midlands Inspirational Day, I had with me a head of cauliflower, some tomatoes, onions and some other vegetable. So I have to come up with some ideas to use them all as soon as possible. However, I had a lot of food left in the fridge. So …
Over the weekend, we went to London. We went on Friday afternoon and returned home on Sunday afternoon, so there was not much time. We planned to visit a university open day. On Saturday, we went to Borough Market to look around. I had been there before and it was the first time for my …
I was thinking about making something quick, simple and easy to store, or pack for lunch. I bought 2 boxes of eggs a few days ago, and I decided to make low calorie egg muffins. It is just muffins without added fat or flour. So it is basically an omelette. Or, if you want to …
