Ok, this dish really doesn’t look so fancy, especially since I didn’t take a picture of the glossy glaze that I made along with it. But it’s a family favorite and fairly easy to do, and nutritious for growing kids. I make it so often cos the kids like it. The patties are tender and…

Oven Fried Chicken Wings
The result of this oven fried chicken wings is real crispy skin, not grilled, not oily, but real crusty crispy skin. No oil needed and most of the oil is also baked out of the chicken skin. The chicken flesh remains moist and tender. Only downside is that thr oven is full of splattered oil….
You Tiao (You Za Kueh/ Chinese donut)
This is a really simple recipe with short ingredient list and simple steps. I used both yeast and baking powder to avoid using large amounts of baking powder like other recipes which may lead to an aftertaste. Also double insurance in case one of them isn’t working 😅. You may also notice that my youtiaos…
Minced Beef Pies
These are individual portions, very satisfying as a one dish meal or served with salad on the side. I made the crust with a combination of butter and olive cooking oil for better flavour, easier handling and crumbly mouth feel. The filling is a bit of agaration (add as I cook) recipe and you should…
Bak Kwa / Barbecued Meat / 肉干
Been trying a few recipes to make this CNY favourite. Most are pretty nice and rich in flavours, but I get this feedback from tasters that it’s “not like those outside”. After some tweaks, I had a revelation – keep it simple. No need for fermented beancurd, five spice powder, oyster sauce, not even colouring,…
Scallion Pancake （葱油饼）
These are almost exactly like coin prata. You’ll feel totally like the prata man or woman when attempting the recipe, except for the flipping and tossing, that is. Taste wise, it’s crispy on the outside and chewy and fluffy inside. Thumbs up! Recipe (makes 8 small ones) 200g plain flour 3/4 tsp salt 120g warm…
Char Siu Bao （蜜汁叉烧包）
Very pleased because we all had seconds and wiped out 10 baos at one go. I tried to make this more Cantonese style by cooking a thick gravy and freezing the fillings first and it worked perfectly. Recipe for filling (14 baos) About 200g pork collar cut into small strips 3 slices ginger 1 tbsp…
Gula Melaka Coconut Huat Kueh (发糕）
Really easy recipe here, should be quite fail-proof. Some tips to ensure a full bloom: Fill batter fully or near brim Cupcakes liner must be strong or placed in a deep muffin tray like mine. Else, get the individual metal cups Do not reduce baking powder amount Slitting the top with an oiled knife helps…
Stove Top Char Siu
This version is very easy to make. It’s cooked entirely on stove top so still lacks that charred roasted flavour from charcoal. But given the ease, and still yummy flavour, I have made it quite a few times to tasters’ delight. My children love the caremelized, sticky coatingRecipe 300g pork shoulder butt (prefer Indonesian fresh…
Big Pork Baos （大肉包）
I like to serve these for lunch as they are filling and delicious. Each of us will have 2-3 baos to feel satisfied. We fill with lots of vegetables as a matter of preference so you can adjust this. And hard boil eggs is a must for us too. Recipe (makes 10) Bao 125g water…
