My son was down with a horrid hacking cough for the past week or so and then he started throwing up everything yesterday. Needless to say, he was feeling rather poorly and had no appetite to eat anything at all. He couldn’t even swallow plain white bread without throwing up.
Anyway, we went to the paediatrician who gave him a shot and though he’s still running a fever, at least he’s not throwing up anymore. So, I stayed home with him and cooked a rather simple meal for him. He loves noodles and hated porridge so instead of cooking . . . → Read More: A simple chicken soup with noodles for sick days
It’s Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year season! And the best thing about this festival is loads and loads of good food, especially cookies, cookies and more cookies. ~Yumz~
Yeah, as you well know, I am a real cookie monster and I have this thing for baking all sorts of desserts from cakes to cookies. It’s been awhile since I baked cookies in recent times (due to my cutting calories so that I could fit into a cheongsam I bought for the CNY!) so CNY is as good a reason as any to bake, bake and . . . → Read More: Who cares about calories when it comes to Chinese New Year cookies
Sundays are usually lazy, relaxing days for most people. Well, for most people except for mothers. Just like any other day, our job as mothers is never done. And on Sundays, when I am not at work, I have to cook for the family, do the house chores and take care of the kids. Unfortunately, my husband works on Sundays so I am usually home alone with the kids. So, when I am feeling particularly lazy on a Sunday, I would prepare one of my all-in-one meals or one-pot meals or one-dish meals, well, whatever you wanna call it.
I know, I know…another chocolate dessert recipe but it is the mooncake festival anyway. And I don’t know why but I wanted to try my hands at baking my own mooncakes again. Last year’s chocolate mooncakes were a disaster when I brushed on too much egg glaze and the mooncakes looked horrible although it tasted absolutely heavenly.
So, this year, I baked the regular plain mooncakes and a batch of chocolate mooncakes too. You can find the recipes in my recipes page. Again, this year, I bought the ready-made fillings of lotus paste, chocolate paste and red bean paste. . . . → Read More: Baked Chocolate Mooncake Skin
Okay, so the past few posts are calorie-loaded, fat-loaded, sinfully wonderful desserts so I think it is only right I put up a comparatively healthier dessert recipe that made its appearance only in recent years. I don’t even know what it’s called but most of the stalls selling this dessert will often label it as Soya Milk Jelly. Well, I would say it is more like a soya milk pudding than anything.
I made it with a can of evaporated milk instead of soya milk since I had that available. It is pretty easy to make actually and does . . . → Read More: Healthy Soya Milk Pudding, well sort of healthy…
I know, boiled chicken just sound so bland. And boring. And plain. But do read on and you will see that it is not bland, boring or plain. Just look at it…
Far from being boring, it is so flavourful that the remaining sauces from the boiled chicken is pure neat chicken stock. Talk about a two in one dish! And yes, this dish is pretty healthy as it involved loads of vegetables and no deep frying to be seen!
After torturing you for three straight days with my cabbage recipes, I feel so bad that I think I better share with you the egg tarts recipe I tried out for the very first time not so long ago.
Egg tarts have to be one of my favourite non-chocolate desserts or snacks or whatever category you wanna place them in. To me, egg tarts are probably the best pastry ever made…well, except for pineapple rolls. And cheesecake. And…err…never mind. Let’s just say, I absolutely love egg tarts and have been hankering to try making them myself.
