Lemon, Lime, Orange Soufflé

September 16, 2010

The soufflé is widely considered as the most initmidating dessert to bake. This is the second time I am making the soufflé, the first was a number of years ago when naivete had led me to experiment with my first chocolate soufflé with ignorant fearlessness. Yes, ignorance can be bliss. As eccentric cook James Beard once said [...]

September 13, 2010

Those who had caught my earlier post on Braised Mince Meat Sauce may remember how proud and pleased I had been over the dish. It was definitely the most versatile dish I have made thus far and it tasted amazing! Encouraged by the success over the dish, I went on to make a second batch [...]

What I Ate In Bangalore….

September 12, 2010

India, is not a favourite business trip destination for most of us. I have yet to come across any one colleague or business contact who honestly looks forward to going to India for business. I cannot say I do either… but then when one travels too often for business like I do, one will no longer look forward to [...]

White Wine Grape Jelly

September 10, 2010

This is the same recipe I used for the last Fruity White Wine Jelly except that I replaced the mixed berries with the Kyoho grapes I bought from Korea last week. I have always loved jellies ever since I was young. I remember those jello packs my mum used to make jellies from – a [...]

September 8, 2010

There was an article published in the local news paper, The Straits Times last week which caught my attention and made me a little pensive. The article reported that 1/3 of the elderly population above 50 years old in Singapore are at risk of malnutrition. (that works out to be an absolute number of 300,000!) Some of these [...]

Chrysanthemum Shumai – 菊花烧卖

September 5, 2010

Rushing through another minced meat dish before I leave again. I believe, this will be a recipe most will appreciate- simply because it’s preparation is so simple and yet it looks like it belongs to a high end Dim Sum restuarant. Even the name sounds a tad more refined and beautiful than the usual fare [...]

What I Ate In Korea….

September 3, 2010

Just a quick post to publish photos of what I ate during my last business trip to Seoul. The highlight of the whole trip must be Mister Donut. I am no fan of donuts – I have difficulty trying to understand what is there to like about Krispy Creme or Dunkin Donuts. Mister Donut over [...]

Juicy Meat Balls

August 30, 2010

You’ve probably noticed that I love to work with minced meat. The pack of minced pork is possibly the most versatile ingredient I have in my fridge… after the trusted eggs, of course. After the last successful attempt at braised minced meat sauce, I decided to make more and stock them in the freezer. After [...]

Those who have been following the Singapore Flogosphere would have caught the buzz over the rather disturbing controversy involving well known local food blogger, LadyIronChef.

White Chocolate Steamed Bread ホウイトチョコ蒸しパン

August 24, 2010

When I posted the Strawberry & Milk Steamed Cake/bread last week, I was able sense that there is significant interests out there in steamed bread/cakes. Undoubtedly Asian by origin, these steamed bread/ cakes probably had their roots in all the steamed dumplings and steamed buns that our forefathers were eating. Huat Kuey/Fatt Ko has never [...]
