[Thermomix] Vegetable Pasta Sauce

We used to buy local made kids’ pasta sauce. It’s quite costly but the kids love it! And it’s savior for preparing kids’ meals. Yes.. I eat instant noodles at times but kids have gotta eat clean as much as possible😅 We do order takeout for some meals too just to give the helper some […]

[Thermomix] Dairy-free Fluffy Doughnut

Made this dairy-free doughnut for Ms.A because she can’t really eat doughnut from stores. Almost all store bought are not dairy-free. So she has never had a chocolate coated doughnut like this one before 😅 Her first time trying and she gave me thumbs up of course ! 😜 Adapted from @yackikuka ‘s no knead fluffy doughnut […]

Strawberry Kueh lapis sagu/九层糕

Kids had been asking for kueh lapis sagu. Finally made it for them on Friday. 😊 we always did it with coloring. 🙈but this time we tried using natural colorings with strawberry powder, blue pea flower powder and pumpkin powder. Pumpkin and blue pea flower has almost no taste. But…. Strawberry tasted strong! so it’s […]

Bacon & Spinach Frittata

First time making frittata. Made this for breakfast last week when kiddos were having their school holidays. Hubby likes it but not the kids 😅as they don’t fancy capsicum.

Dairy-free Carbonara and Corn ribs

Simple and not so healthy dinner tonight 😛hubby complained as we have no vegetables ! Shared this dairy-free carbonara before in this blogpost. It’s simple and quick carbonara. Just make sure to use pasteurized eggs so it’s safer for kids ☺️ We adjusted the recipe a little to increase the portion and also did it […]

Mini Baked Tonkatsu

Bought 500g of butterflied pork loin from @quanshuiwetmarket to make tonkatsu because our kids can’t really bite through bigger cut pork loin 😅 so this pre-cut and butterflied one from quanshui is just nice for making mini baked tonkatsu Adapted recipe from @justonecookbook , amazing site for recipes especially for Japanese cuisines. Super detailed and there’s video plus step […]

Pao Fan/ 泡饭/Poached Rice

It was a busy evening, so I decided to cook a pot of porridge in the rice cooker. At the last 15 minutes, I was supposed to drop in the minced meat balls into the rice cooker to cook together with the porridge… but shockingly, my porridge ended up to be soft rice due to […]

Potstickers锅贴& egg dumpling 蛋饺

Bought some dumpling skin to make potstickers because it looks fun to pleat 🤪 We tried combination of minced meat and cabbage. Turned out the fillings were quite dry 😅 anyone has a juicy recipe for potsticker fillings to share or can anyone tell me what’s wrong with our recipe below ? 😓 We ran […]

Dairy-Free Ham and Mayo Soft Buns

Baked savory buns for the family as we have a pack of ham in the fridge to clear. Using @sulyntan soft milk bun recipe as the base because it’s fail-proof and super soft. We sized up the portion to 1.5 times and substitute with plant milk for dairy-free version. Didn’t egg wash the buns so it looked […]

Vegan Turnip Steamed Buns

I am still on the search for a nice steamed bun recipe. Initially, I was adamant about not using vegetable shortening. After reading many recipes, I have noticed that the key to get fluffy texture and not the bready kind of soft texture is to use vegetable shortening in place of vegetable oil. So I […]

Nasi Liwet / Indonesian steamed rice

Inspired by my friends to cook this rice for pairing with our oven baked BBQ baby pork ribs.  Kids enjoyed eating this rice as it has a nice fragrance from the simple spices used.  My version is not very authentic as I could only find limited ingredients from the kitchen. 😅 this dish is really […]

Oven baked Honey Garlic Tomahawk Pork Chop

We often get our meat supplies from @quanshuiwetmarket and for our previous orders, they also include free Tomahawk pork chop for us. [thank you! ☺️] I’m not a big meat eater since hub is home! we decided to cook this for lunch so that no meat will be wasted. 😅 No doubt, kids love this […]

Dairy-free Salmon Baked Rice

A quick one dish meal for dinner. Kids can’t wait to tuck in and had to use the fan to avoid getting their mouths burnt 😅 It’s not something we get to eat outside or get to cook often as dairy-free cheese is quite costly and not commonly sold outside. So Ms. A really enjoy […]
