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 scratch, but since I recently …
There is a good reason why you’re paying $8-10 for that one slice of crepe cake – because it is very labour-intensive to make! Apart from xiao long bao, I believe this crepe cake is one of the most challenging recipe I’ve attempted thus far. It’s not that difficult to make but requires a lot of patience and perseverance. …
Today marks my first time ever attempt at cooking Indian food at home. Today also marks the day that I found out the sauce of butter chicken is made mainly from tomatoes! Please don’t laugh at me – I haven’t had enough butter chicken to realise that. Anyway, didn’t expect my butter chicken to turn out great on the first …
I love stir-fried beef but it’s something my family hardly cooks at home because it’s harder to get beef that’s suitable for stir-fries at the supermarket near my house. But now it’s a lot more convenient to cook beef at home thanks to Aw’s Market! They have a wide variety of beef parts so you will definitely be able …
I can’t believe it, but it’s been one and a half years since I last made roast pork belly! Been wanting to make it but my oven has been down for a while now. Recently we got a new oven so I decided that making some roast pork belly would be a good opening ceremony for my oven!
As I …
Was never a biggg fan of char kway teow until I once ate a really good plate of char kway teow at a hotel buffet a few years back. Didn’t expect the char kway teow at a buffet to be that good, but it was full of pork lard flavour and wok hei! There are dry and wet versions of …
Sweet and sour pork – something I really like to order when eating zi char but also something I’ve never tried making before. I’ve always had the impression that it’s quite troublesome to make sweet and sour pork because I’ve seen recipes that call for a long list of ingredients and also uncommon ingredients like plum sauce and Worcestershire sauce. …
The store I frequent most in food courts has definitely got to be the ban mian stall. It may be a humble-looking dish, but when the delicious broth is paired with some chilli padi, I never leave a single drop of soup behind in the bowl. Perhaps my favourite would be Qiu Lian Ban Mee, because the texture of their …
I love char siew, but really dislike the tough and flavourless lean cuts that you get from the usual wanton mee stalls. The best char siew I’ve eaten are the ones made from parts with considerable amount of fats, making them tender, juicy and succulent. The exterior has to be slightly charred and covered in the sweet caramelized sauce, while …
Had leftover kimchi in my refrigerator from my previous kimchi pork belly stir-fry and wanted to finish it before my dad throws away my kimchi again like before because he thought that it’s been sitting in the fridge for more than 2 weeks and nobody has touched it *laughs*. I’ve been wanting to try making kimchi pancake (김치전) for …
