When I first read about the launch of the special Nasi Lemak Burger by a popular fast food chain in Singapore 2 weeks ago, I was intrigued but not that interested because I’ve always liked my food in their original form (I’m boring I know). X, on the other hand, was quite interested to try…

Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken (椒盐鸡块 / 咸酥鸡 / 盐酥鸡)
Today, 6 July, is National Fried Chicken Day (seriously who came up with these days?) so I’m back here with another history lesson on this delicious dish! Apparently since a long, long time ago (as far back as the Middle Ages), Scots liked their chicken deep-fried instead of boiled or baked. So when Scottish immigrants…
Chicken Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)
Just like ice cream, I have another love-hate relationship with anything deep-fried. While I can still say no to ice cream sometimes, I usually will succumb to their crispy coating and that oily satisfaction when eating deep-fried food. Every cuisine, be it Chinese, Korean, Malay, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, American, Italian, French etc, will definitely have some food…
One-Pot Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)
Jump to: Step-by-Step Photos · Recipe Sorry for the absence on the blog! Been a little distracted by dramas and games last week so blogging has been put aside, but now I’m back for good (as long as I don’t start a new game or drama haha). Today’s recipe is an incredibly simple and delicious…
Kiam Peng (Salty/Savoury Rice in Rice Cooker)
If your family owns a rice cooker, then your mom may have made this one-pot throw-everything-in Kiam Peng before. Kiam Peng is a term in Hokkien, which literally translates to Salty Rice. It is made by combining uncooked rice, meat, vegetables and seasoning like soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce in a rice cooker…
Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)
I am abandoning postponing all the other recipes that are queuing behind to be blogged because this oyakodon simply cannot wait. It’s just out-of-the-world delicious and the reason why I didn’t make it earlier is because I never have dashi stock on hand, which was a required ingredient. But I still don’t have access to dashi…
Dak Bokkeum Tang (닭볶음탕) – Spicy Braised Chicken
Starting 2015 with a red and spicy bang! Dak Bokkeum Tang is a popular Korean dish which, in English, is known as Spicy Chicken Stew. This Spicy Chicken Stew is the easiest chicken dish I have prepared – simply dump everything in the pot! Simmer then add in potatoes halfway and cook until done. Serve…
Chicken, Chorizo and Prawn Paella (Gordon Ramsay)
Another Gordon Ramsay recipe! Paella is a dish that I love after having tried it in Spain during my graduation trip (how I wish I can go back there!) But I have not tried making it because saffron is so expensive here! A small box of saffron will set me back by at least $10!…
Teriyaki Chicken
I’m sure many of you are very familiar with this dish Teriyaki Chicken. Teri refers to the shiny sheen that the teriyaki sauce forms on the surface of the chicken, while yaki means grilled. Hence, the original dish is made by grilling the chicken and then basting it with a sweet soy sauce. But honestly……
