After a long hectic day at work, the last thing you want is preparing a stressful dinner for TWO. Why not dine out or grab fast food? No!! Nothing beats home cooked food, moreover its healthier and lovelier to eat food cook by your loved ones, no?
I have posted a recipe on Lighter General Tso’s Chicken that takes less than 30min to prepare not long ago, so today I will be sharing a fuss free pasta recipe that take not more than 15-mintues to prepare.
Food historians may differ about the origin of red velvet cake, some uses the entire bottle of artificial red food colouring, while some uses beets puree/juice. But one thing is certain: if you omit using artificial red colouring, recipe should use natural cocoa powder not dark or dutch processed (Hershey’s cocoa powder works perfectly but not the Special Dark variety).
The cream cheese frosting here has a soft consistency that's ideal for swirling or swooping. It's the classic choice for topping many cupcakes even carrot cake. It's easy to prepare, versatile and tangy.
Easter is this Sunday! I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. I've done a Easter Day Project with Ellena - Cuisine Paradise yesterday and made this Easter gems inspired by Cupcake Project.
These are adorable and make a cute centerpiece for an Easter table. Instead of baking the cupcakes in paper liners, these are baked in the egg shells.
The usual General Tso's Chicken is coated in the egg white/cornstarch mixture and deep fried till golden brown. This is a healthified version which is pan fried in a drizzle of oil until crisp and tender, making it not only quick enough to eat on a weeknight, but healthy enough to eat as often as you like.
With it’s sweet and slightly spicy sauce, this one has definitely become our favourite stir-frys. I double the sauce as hubby likes extra to drizzle over his white rice.
Trust me, this Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffin got to be one of the most fabulous chocolate muffins! It's moist, soft, chocolatey, and has a crumbly texture (probably from the superfine sugar). What's more, its easy to make!
A friend of mine in Malaysia - Angie has bought me a baking book and deliver to my office for my birthday! How sweet and nice! My colleague Edward has picked a few items from the book and asked me to bake for them. One of the item was this Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Definitely one of my favorites. If you have madness about chocolate, this is the recipe for you. It has little crisp on the outside, yet will still melt in your mouth on the inside. The flavorful chocolate scented batter is totally heaven!
Kueh Belandah is also known as love letters or kueh kapit. Kueh Kapit translates loosely to cupid cakes in Malay, and these wafer rolls were believed to be the medium for star-crossed lovers to communicate back in the olden days. They printed their secret words of longing on the kueh, which they would exchange and immediately consume, thereby destroying all traceable evidence.
We are having our monthly Food Photography gathering today, and I decided to whip up this dessert bar for it's rich in taste and incredibly pretty look (ahem, i style them!).
The crust is crunchy and flavorful with plenty of spices and walnuts-perfect foil for the tangy-sweet strawberry preserves. It is perfect for any occasion and especially Christmas celebration.
I was searching high and low for a blueberry cake recipe for Allan's birthday as he had specially requested/ hinted for one. I found a couple of recipes which included blueberry cheesecake brûlée (I didn't pick this because it is served in a cup and really hard to bring it to office), blueberry crumble, and other blueberry cakes. After some discussion with his dearest fiancée, she picked this recipe... especially for him. I hope he likes it and the taste won't disappoint him.
Char Siu (also known as char siew, chashao, chasu, barbecue pork) is a long strips of boneless pork that is seasoned with a mixture of honey, five-spice powder, fermented tofu (red), dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, red food colouring that are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. These seasonings turn the exterior layer of the meat dark red, similar to the "smoke ring" of American barbecues.
We are having our once a month food photography today at Wee Yang's house. I am preparing a dessert as I don't want to carry too much things over to cook. He is staying at the other end of Singapore! After much consideration, brownie is the best choice. It is suitable for a traditional afternoon tea and it can stay all day long outside the humid weather.
Result? Was really tasty, but a little sweet to me even I have reduce more than 20% of the sugar. However, the sweetness was just nice for almost everyone and my husband.
Asparagus wrapped in bacon (Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus) is hassle free and with lots of way of cooking it. You can play around with the recipe by replacing the bacon with thin sliced of pork belly or replace the asparagus with golden mushroom.
Assam Pedas is sour, fiery hot, and tastes extraordinarily satisfying which it’s a mainstay guaranteed to spike the appetite of my husband. Since it's father day and upon his request, we decided to have Assam Pedas Fish tonight.
