Oyakodon is a Japanese rice bowl dish where chicken meat and eggs are cooked in a sauce mixture consisting of soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar and stock (dashi). Oyako means “parent and child”, referring to the use of both chicken and eggs in this dish. Oyakodon is a simple but comforting dish which I used to have quite often at Coronation … Read more
It’s been really long since I’ve posted something here! I shall try to post more frequently from now on (-: Anyway, I saw a photo of a scrambled eggs & prawns with rice dish on instagram months back and it looked so good! It’s apparently a common dish in Hong Kong but I’ve never tried … Read more
Recently chanced upon an instagram post of Xi’an-style spicy handmade noodles (Biang Biang noodles) and I was salivating. Just the mere mention of “chilli” or “spicy” makes me really excited and hungry!

Anyway, didn’t expect my butter chicken to turn out great on the first attempt but surprisingly it was pretty good!

Japanese ramen is probably the one dish I’m very willing to pay for when dining out because there’s so much work involved in making that one bowl of ramen. A good broth requires lots of time and the ajitsuke tamago (egg), although seemingly easy to make, requires precision. I never thought of making ramen from … Read more
I vividly remember when I was younger, my mother used to make french toast for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten homemade french toast! Recently, the only ones I have eaten are the fancy ones at cafes which cost more than $10, making me wonder why I pay so much for a … Read more
