Baked Cod with Garlic Mayonnaise
2008-02-01 05:52:00
You know I'm really hard pressed for time these days especially with Chinese New Year just less than a week away. Hence, I used my (water) oven a lot so I can work on other stuff while my trusty helper do the rest of the cooking.You need an oven or toaster to make this dish. If you don't own one, you can steam it but the dish will be 'watery'. Not that nice plus you won't have the brown top effect.If you have been following my blog, you might know my son only eats Cod (expensive taste buds). So for this dish, I used Cod as usual. You can use other white fish instead but I must say Cod tasted a lot better. It tasted sweet.Ingredients:1 Cod (I used the tail part and it's about 7" long)A dash of pepper and salt 1 teaspoon Olive Oil if not using CodGarlic Mayo:3 clove Garlic1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (optional)2 tablespoon Mayonnaise (I use Japanese Mayo - the one with the baby)1/2 teaspoon Olive OilA pinch of saltHow to do it:Preheat oven to 200C.Rub a dash of pepper and salt on o...

Pineapple Cocoon
2008-02-01 02:13:00
I had no idea what these are called. I just made up a name for it (because it looks like a cocoon). In Chinese, it's called ???.I meant to post this last week but I really couldn't squeeze out time to blog. Sorry if you have been waiting for this post. *looked apologetic* See, I did put down some of my work to get this out now. *looked pitiful* Chinese New Year is less than a week from now. Hopefully, you are still in time to make this. I know I wouldn't have the time now. I'm still cleaning the house and it seems like I haven't done any cleaning. Sigh! That's the problem if you have active young kids at home.I'm using the same ingredients as what I did with my Pineapple Tarts. So you can see the Cocoon crust (above) is flaky and almost cookie-like. My family and friends prefer this than the Pineapple Tart. Their comments were the pineapple jam was more moist and not as dry as the Tart as it's not exposed to baking. I prefer the Tart for just the opposite reasons! *laughs* ...

Pineapple Tarts
2008-01-17 17:25:00
When we talk about Chinese New Year goodies, this first thing that comes in mind is Pineapple Tarts . Incidentally, it's my hubby's favourite and my kids like it too. The thing is, I have never try it before. Okay, just the crust. Don't ask me why. I just didn't want to try it.But since everyone at home love it so much, I got to try to do it. And the results? A success! And hubby said it's very good. He likes it that the crust is slightly cookie-like, not soft. Yes, I finally tried pineapple tart for the first time and it was nice lah.Ingredients:250g Butter2 tablespoon Sugar1/4 teaspoon Slat1 Egg400g All Purpose Flour1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence1 Egg Yolk (for brushing)600g Pineapple PasteHow to do it:Beat butter, sugar and salt till creamy.Add egg and vanilla essence.Mix evenly.Fold in the flour and mix into a dough.Roll dough between 2 pieces of baking paper till about 0.7cm thickness.Refridgerate for 30 minutes.Use cookie cutter or tart mould (those with an additional circle p...

Snapper with Orange and Tomato Sauce
2008-01-16 02:29:00
My daughter doesn't take fruits, not even fruit juice. Sometimes, if she is kind to me, she would take a tiny bite to try but most of the time, she simply says "No."I still try to get her to take fruits but I'm not worry at all because she is just like my son when he was her age. Now, he eat fruits everyday and and tell me what fruits he would like to have.I was pleasantly surprised that she loved this fish dish. She usually eats very little during dinner if it's not her favourite Chicken Porridge. This time she finished the whole piece of fish! It's fish and there was taste of orange. Huh? Surprise! Surprise! Kids. And people thought it's difficult to understand than women. Haha ....Ingredients:1 Snapper fillet, cut half1/2 small Onion (not shallot but yellow onion), minced1 glove Garlic, minced1/2 tablespoon Olive OilA dash of salt and pepperMarinade:5 tablespoon Olive OilRind of 1 Orange 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme1 glove Garlic, crushed not mincedSauce :40ml White WineJuice of 1 ...

Tofu Cubes with Fermented Bean Curd
2008-01-10 07:18:00
I'm a Teochew and I ate Teochew porridge a lot when I was young. In fact, everytime when it's my father's offday, he will cook porridge with a few side dishes like this, this or this. His offday would mean bean sprouts plucking day for me too. Because I have to pluck a big bag of bean sprouts! We won't miss the Salted eggs and Fermented Bean Curd on the table too when we have porridge.The other day I was hungry and since there was a leftover bowl of my daughter's porridge and a piece of tau kwa (firm tofu) in the fridge which I decided not to use for dinner, I did this and that settled my supper. So Teochew. My late grandfather would have loved this.Ingredients:1 piece Tau Kwa (firm tofu), drained and cut into cubesOil of fryingSeasonings to be mixed together:1 piece Fermented Bean Curd1/2 tablespoon Sauce from fermented bean curd1/2 teaspoon of sugar20ml WaterHow to do it:Deep fried Tau Kwa till golden brown.Drain and transferred to a wok.Add in the seasonings.Stir fry well t...

Marmite Prawns
2008-01-09 06:08:00
I think being a picker eater might be inheritance because I remembered my father bought many bottles of Bovril and it was like I only ate plain porridge with Bovril - two bowls of it each time. Hmm ... or was it because my mother doesn't cook? Maybe it was both.My father once told me, he was glad he found Bovril as my appetite increased after adding Bovril in my meals. During that time Bovril contains beef and my father found it nutritious enough of a young kid *me!* who hardly eats. Well, at least it's better than eating plain porridge. He was the person who suggested using it when I told him about the feeding problem with my son when he was a toddler.The Bovril in Singapore doesn't contains beef now due to the Mad-Cow disease many year ago. I know the ones in UK is back with its original containing beef. I do wish Singapore would import that too. I miss it.I found out about Marmite during my teen years, the alternative choice if you are a vegetarian or can't take beef. It took...

Honey Baked Cod
2007-12-28 12:39:00
I used to work of a Japanese company who often organised dinners for their customers after the sales presentation. They were trying to score points, in hoping to get the year's contact. We do this at least 3 times a year for 3 major customers and other smaller scale dinners with many other customers.During those time, we work like there was no tomorrow and during the night before the presentation, we never when home to sleep. We only go home to bath and change and off we go. Yeah, I was a workaholic before I have kids. Once my boss asked me when we were working overtime, as usual, "What is your hobby?" Guess what? My hobby was the same as my boss' - WORK! *LOL* Luckily, it has now changed to WOK! *laughs*Anyway, during those major dinners, I had to tag along because I liaise with the respective parties. But poor me and my other colleagues who helped out, did not eat with them (in the private room with all the yummy food). We ordered a few dishes (okay 4 to be exact) and ate in the...

Vanilla Cupcake with Chocolate Chips
2007-12-13 04:17:00
My son asked me to bake him some cupcakes and I thought I wanted to try frosting again. So why not? I had this simple vanilla cupcake recipe I scribbled on my notebook. I did that and added some chocolate chips to it.I won't show the frosting though. I find it was hideous.

Roast Chicken with Garlic and Lemon
2007-12-12 03:47:00
I had never wanted to roast chicken after my hubby bought me an oven. Well, I had tried roasted chicken and turkey before and find it too dry and almost tasteless except of the skin. The other day, not knowing what came over me, I bought a copy of Women's Weekly. I used to buy this magazine when I was still working. I have since stop buying it for coming to 6 years. Anyway, I found this recipe in the magazine and since I have most of the ingredients, I thought I'll get it a try.It's really good and like what the recipe says, the flesh is moist and succulent. Oooo ... and the garlic ... tasted so good with the chicken. Even my hubby who hates garlic said so too. Oh and the taste and smell of lemon ... hmmm ....Try this for Christmas!Ingredients:1.8kg Chicken (I used a smaller chicken)1 Lemon , quartered30 gloves Garlic , skin intact1 cup Chicken Stock1 cup White WineMarinade:5 tablespoon Olive Oil4 sprigs fresh thyme, stem s removed (I used 1 tablespoon Dried Thyme)3 sprigs fresh Ro...

Egg Tarts
2007-12-07 03:33:00
Egg tarts! Egg tarts! I didn't know there are so many people who like egg tarts. Don't be shock on what I'm going to say. I have never try one in my (going to be) 36 years of my life. Hmm ... maybe just the crust.It's one of my husband's favourite so I had to try to do it since he did get me the oven after all. He is forever saying that how the crust and the egg custard must be like. I had no idea. I just followed the recipe that comes with the oven.The day he arrived home from work when I made the egg tarts, I showed him one and asked him to try. He didn't look impressed with the outlook. He commented that the egg custard looked too pale (because there's no custard powder here) and then he sunk his teeth into it and chewed. I asked, "So?" No answer. More bites and chewing and still no answer. Now that the whole tart is gone and still no answer. Hmmm ...After he cleared his mouth, he said, "It's very good! Not the best but good enough." Aww ... At least I managed to make som...

Sukiyaki
2007-12-07 02:20:00
When we visit the Japanese Restaurant, which we do quite often, I always order Sukiyaki if it's available.It usually has Shitake Mushroom, Onions, Chinese Cabbage, Enokitake, Carrot, Spring Onion, tofu, Shirataki noodles and of course very thinly sliced meat. All these in a cast iron pot over burning flame.It's often served with a raw egg for you to dip the meat and veggies in before you eat them to reduce the heat, so as not to burn your lips. *wink* There is always a bowl of rice to go with it as the soup is slightly salty and sweet. Some restaurants even come with a bowl of udon for you to cook it in the soup after you finish eating all the ingredients. Very filling!Sometimes when we are out during the weekends, dear hubby wants to have his favourite Chinese food when we rather have Japanese food *son knit eyebrows and pout lips*, I'll get some stuff from the supermarket and make sushi (for my son) and this, Sukiyaki, later in the week. It's not as good as those in Japanese R...

Colourful Onde Onde
2007-12-06 14:03:00
Okay, I didn't add any colouring for all these Onde Onde you see here. From left, pumpkin onde onde, purple sweet potato onde onde, normal pandan flavoured onde onde.If the Australian Pumpkin is used here, the Onde Onde will be in a nicer shade of orange but I didn't want to buy a big slice so I settled for the Japanese pumpkin which is in the hue. I love the purple sweet potato though. It gives such nice colour. It's not the Japanese sweet potato. Though the skin is purple in colour but the inside is in yellow. Look below for the difference. But if you still want to use food colourings, go ahead. I'm just showing that to make your food colourful, you can use the natural colours from the food we use.

Japanese Cotton Sponge Cake
2007-12-05 07:38:00
My friend, June, told me she tried baking cotton sponge cake and failed. I'm new to baking and couldn't help her find what went wrong but I search the web and found another recipe. It was mentioned that the recipe was from a book so I gathered that it should be the original source and I went ahead to bake it.And I was lucky on my first try.

I did this during a gathering at my place and my friend, Rebecca, liked it. I tried it again, wanting to pair it with vegetable. The asparagus was good but I did quite like it with tomato but my hubby said it okay for him. Perhaps if I used cherry tomatoes in a bunch it might be better. As I find it too wet for cut tomato.I did it using orange rind and orange juice too and it was good too but personally I preferred the lemon version. I did a fish dish using orange rind and juice and it taste better for that and my daughter finished one half of that dish.

We love this dish a lot and when I cook this, the dish is always wiped clean. Everyone has a favourite. My son will eat more of the mushroom. My husband the chicken and I finished up the carrot and chestnuts. I love the chestnuts! It adds sweetness to the dish.It's almost the same as how I did THIS, except I pan fried the chicken slightly before I add it to the pot with the rest of the ingredients. Water is added enough to cover all the ingredients and braised in low heat till liquid reduced to less than half.Best served with a bowl of rice or two! Yums!http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingm um

Well, asparagus is not always available in the wet market at my place and sometimes it's just too expensive to buy too. Since it was cheaper than usual, I bought a bunch ... again.

Asparagus with Salted Fish

Asparagus is one of my favourite vegetables. When I saw them in the market, I knew I had to grab some.

Chocolate Chips Cookies

I ran out of baking paper and since I was at the supermarket, I went to look around for it. I found the wonderful Glad Bake - Non-stick and cooking paper. No greasing required when I use this.

In fact, I only use two pieces of paper to bake the whole batch of cookies!Anyway, there's this Chocolate Chip Cookie s recipe on the box. Cookies. How can I give it a miss and went ahead to try it.
