Salmon is probably one of my favourite fishes. No, wait. It is probably the only fish I don’t tire of cooking! So, when I went and bought a packet of sweet basil (don’t you just love the sweet, sharp scent of it?), I know it will go splendidly with salmon.
So, I did sorta went overboard and used basil and salmon to cook three different dishes within the space of two days.
Cod fish is sort of a luxury food for us due to its rarity in the wet markets and its highly expensive pricing since it’s an imported fish. However, we do buy some frozen cod fish once in a while from one of the distributors here and I’d try a few ways to cook it.
Since I am most adept at cooking the Chinese way (meaning stir frying most of the time), I thought maybe I could use almost the same way to cook cod fish. And this is what I made…
Sometimes, I’m too lazy to cook but I do not want to eat out so, I’d make my lazy baked chicken breast meal. I’d have to say it is probably one of my ‘dump everything into the dish and bake’ sort of meal. Simple. Easy. And you get a wholesome baked chicken breast meal within 30 minutes or so.
The best part about this chicken recipes is that it can also be the base for a chicken pie if you slap on a pre-made pastry dough on top and baked it together with . . . → Read More: Chicken Recipes: The lazy baked chicken breast recipes
As most of you would know by now, we are Japanese food junkies and The Food Critic especially LOVE the Japanese Sukiyaki soup SO we started cooking our own Sukiyaki soup using chicken breast meat at home instead of spending more $$ on Japanese restaurants.
It is pretty simple to make sukiyaki, actually so, here it is:

300g chicken breast meat, sliced thinly (and about 1/4 of chicken carcass), all seasoned with salt
It does when it comes to me rolling up my sleeves and giving roast pork a try!
We love char siew (roast pork). Especially the types that has been roasted to perfection after it was marinated. Since food prices are increasing and it is quite expensive to eat out all the time, I might as well learn to make roast pork to enjoy at home anytime. The best part is that I can control the quality of the food, what I put it in and yes, keep the cost low!
Amongst the many vegetables, I don’t really like eating brinjals much. I find it too mushy and soft to my liking. Then, my Personal Chef (aka The Food Critic) found a way to cook it that makes it so delicious, I actually love it!
This recipe for stir-fried spicy brinjal is actually my grandmother’s recipe and after tasting it and learning a few tips from her, my Personal Chef started trying his hand at cooking it. Well, if anything, he aced it. So, this recipe today is partly my Personal Chef’s recipe and partly mine as I try to . . . → Read More: Stir-fried Spicy Brinjal (Eggplant)
I’ve been meaning to learn to make our own hamburgers so that we do not need to eat those store-bought frozen hamburgers which are oily and full of MSG. Considering hamburgers merely consist of ground meat, how hard can it be right?
Besides, The Food Critic is really crazy about hamburgers. Every time we go to the grocery store, he simply must stop at the frozen food and pick out a packet of hamburgers. A few times when we do eat out, he’d insist on choosing an American restaurant like TGIF serving good burgers (nope, it is definitely not . . . → Read More: Homemade herbed hamburgers, two ways to eat it
