Pig's Tail in Tomato Soup
2007-08-28 02:50:00
The butcher introduced me to pig's tail when I went to the market very late one day and all the ribs and bone meant to make soup were sold out.It's even better for those who enjoys eating the chewy skin.

Ah! My very first attempt in baking. I still need a lot of practice. And I should really read more about baking too.

Remember I mentioned my camera was damaged? Well, it's is officially a goner.I made Char Siew ?? aka Chinese BBQ Pork and Fake Abalone Slices in Thick Sauce yesterday. Unfortunately, I was not able to capture them. The camera just won't work for me anymore. *sob*I will still continue to think of new recipes and hopefully remember to write them down. In the meantime, I will still post my outstanding recipes found here. I hope before those are all posted, I would have a new camera already. Hey, Jaden, I think you are rich and famous already! I don't have high standards for my camera. As long as it is digital and comes with the usual functions, I'm okay. It won't cost a lot, I think. So, when can I receive one from you?

Home-made Yong Tau Foo in Sweet Broth
2007-08-22 07:45:00
I friend asked if I know how to make fish balls. Yeah, I did a couple of times. That was when I just moved to my place and didn't know there is a stall in the wet market selling fish paste. The ready-made fish balls in the supermarket didn't smell and taste good so I decided to get my hands all sticky with fish paste.Nowadays, I buy ready-made fish paste to save me the hassle of making my own. But since I was asked, I thought I should really try it again to make sure I still know how to make it. I prefer to use ???. (Sorry I don't know the English name for this fish. Anyone who does, please enlighten me. Thanks.) (A sweet reader has kindly send me the link on this fish. It's called Ikan Parang aka Whitefin wolf-herring. Thanks, HL.) ??? sweeter but has lots of tiny bones which is not a good choice if it's given to kids.I'm using Mackerel with is commonly used. You can also ask your fishmongers for suggestions. They will know. Basically most fishes that can be made into paste, ...

2007-08-20 03:43:00
This dish came about when I was cooking Prawn Noodle Soup on a weekend. I was craving for Lor Mee which is another asian noodle dish. You may call it Braised Noodles in thick sauce. Since I'm already cooking this, I can't be cooking another dish. Furthermore, some time is needed to braised the egg and meat for Lor Mee.Anyways, I took some Prawn Noodle Soup, added some shelled small prawns and peas and thicken it with cornflour mixture. Afterwhich, I added one beaten egg white. I poured the sauce over some cooked soba.Now, I have a brand new dish.

Coconut Jelly
2007-08-17 09:12:00
I love to drink coconut juice especially in hot weather. It so refreshing. I remember with I was in Secondary School, some drinks stalls in the hawker centers sell coconut water diluted with syrup. Then there were other drinks too, pineapple, sour plum, ching chow, soya bean. I love those. I would save money to buy a glass after school. I hardly see pineapple and sour plum drinks now. I know some older hawker centers still have them. Hmm ... must go get some.Back the the coconut, quite recently I bought a coconut jelly from a pasar malam. I remembered having them 2 years ago.

Porridge with Steamed Frog Legs
2007-08-17 09:05:00
There's a stall in Singapore, Geylang, that sells Frog Legs Porridge which is very famous. I haven't try it but everyone who had, tells me it's the best.It's not easy to prepare frog legs. To start with, one have to overcome the grossness of handling the skinless frog. That is if you are lucky to buy it dead with the skin already removed for you. I'm one of the lucky ones. I just have to bring them home and chop it into pieces. You can't overcooked the frog legs either as it will be too tough to even chew.Ingredients:Porridge cooked with Bone Broth3 Frogs, skinned and chopped Shredded Ginger for frying and steaming1/2 tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil for frying Seasonings: 1/2 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce 1 teaspoon Sesame Seed Oil Marinade: 1 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce1/2 tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil 1/2 tablespoon Ginger Sauce How to do it: Marinate the frog parts for half an hour.

Seafood Baked Rice with Cream Sauce

My husband finally got me an oven as an encouragement and to let me explore more way of cooking. I haven't had the time to bake cakes yet. With my son's enrichment classes starting this coming Saturday, I foresee even less time to cook. One thing for sure, I won't be able to cook on Saturdays now.Anyway, this was the very first dish I made using the oven. I didn't want to be disappointed and so I cheated for this dish. Haha ... Have to make it a little easier for a first timer. *wink*Ingredients:2 cup Cooked Rice 1/2 Bell Peppers, diced coarsely4 Prawn, shelled and blanched1 small Squid, cleaned, blanched and sliced into rings1 cup ready-made Cream Sauce of your choice1 cup shredded Mozzarella CheeseHow to do it:Place rice in a baking dish.Spread 1/2 cup of cream sauce and 1/3 cheese over the rice.Place prawns, squid and bell pepper over the rice.Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of cream sauce over it.Sprinkle the remain cheese over and cover it.Bake in preheated oven to 200C for 20...

Champagne Grapes Shaved Ice
2007-08-15 06:01:00
Few years ago, there was this craze about shaved ice drinks in Singapore. If I remember correctly, it was bought in from Taiwan. Although, the shaved ice drinks 'trend' had died down, we are still able to see these stalls in some shopping centers but selling at a much cheaper price. They used essences and syrup for the drinks but if we do it at home we can use the real fruit or fruit juice.Few days ago I happened to see these really tiny grapes in the supermarket and I bet the kids would love it and so I bought home a box. They are called Cham pagne Grapes . And just how tiny are they? The size of a pea! Too cute!I wanted to used some for baking but just couldn't find the time. So before they turned bad, I used them to make shaved ice for dessert. Eat it or drink it. You decide.Ingredients:250g Champ agne Grapes300ml Water sweeten with sugar to tasteHow to do it:Blend the grapes with water.Filter juice.Pour juice into a flat shallow pan/dish.Refrigerate in the freeze.Bring the pan o...

Roasted Duck Noodles in Herbal Soup
2007-08-15 03:57:00
Before I start, I have to say this. I didn't actually made this dish. I just sort of made the soup. Sort of ... read on to understand.You see, I love to eat roasted duck (especially Peking Duck ) but I'm also a stingy stay at home mum. I won't buy a S$30+ duck to enjoy on my own. So the other day when Bi Feng Tang ??? was having a National Day Promotion on their Roasted Duck with Dang Gui ??, my husband bought one whole duck home. Yummy!I deboned the duck but kept the bones to make soup. It so rich in flavours, it would be a waste to throw them away. This duck was roasted with Chinese Herb s and Spices stuffed in it, so it was rather aromatic.To make the soup, I simmered the bones, fats and some skin that was too tough to chew with 1.5 litre of water for 3 hours. During the last hour, I added six red dates and half an hour later, a handful of wolfberries. No seasonings was required here. Yeah, I cheated in making the soup. LOL But at least nothing is wasted. Well, maybe except for ...
