Pork wrapped with Golden Mushroom

I love Pork wrapped with Golden Mushroom!! Finally found the recipe online and tried it. How it taste will depend on the sauce you use, so pick your sauce carefully. Do not overcooked the pork unless you like tough meat.

Penang Char Kway Teow

This is my frist time trying to fried Char Kway Teow. I wouldn't say this is mouth watering, but is ok for home cooked. Probably is my way of cooking that doesn't taste as tasty as I expected to be. Will try again sometime.

Butter Prawn with Grated Coconut

In this recipe, other than prawn, the key ingredient of this dish is curry leaf. Highly aromatic in nature, the exotic scent of these dark green leaves saturates coconut milk based curries with rich fragrance and perks up seafood dishes such as Butter Prawn and Black Pepper Crab.

The other key ingredient are the toasted kerisik (grated coconut) - it's killer in taste! It reveals layer upon layer of complex flavors–buttery, salty, sweet, spicy, and garlicky working off one another seamlessly and perfectly.

French Beans with Dried Shrimp

This is one of our favourite dish from the Zhi Char store. Decided to try making it tonight for my dearest husband. Althought its not exactly the same taste as the one we loves, but it's still tasty ;D

Braised Bean Curd with Mushrooms

You can try this recipe with different protein, be it pork, chicken, or seafood. You can also use different vegetables and mushrooms - napa cabbage, carrots, bok choy, dried shitake mushrooms, button mushrooms, enoki, and the list goes on. And then there is the sauce: soy sauce, oyster sauce, with beaten egg, or without it. Endless possibilities and all as delicious.

Wanton Soup

It may be a lot of work to prepare such a simple soup. But trust me, it is definitely worth it. Nothing beat home cooked food! From the soup base to wrapping of wanton, everything suite your own taste bud.

Tips - Storage of Sugar

Keep those pesky ants out of your sugar pot by adding a teaspoon of cloves.

The cloves spice add a certain 'flavour' to the sugar but does not overpower it when you use it for cooking or baking.

Tips - Indgredients for Cookies

The ingredients for cookies making can be found in most people's store cupboard and fridge.

Chocolate
Buy good quality chocolate with at least 50% cocoa solids for baking. Plain chocolate gives a distinctive strong, rich flavour while milk chocolate has a sweeter taste. White chocolate often does not contain any cocoa solids, and lacks the flavour of true chocolate. It is the most difficult chocolate to melt and has poor setting qualities.
