Roasted Almond

This is a special post for the folks at NUTS. When I heard about their almond project, I was thrilled! Not only is almond one of my favourite food, it also packs load of benefits and sharing its benefits and the various ways to eat this healthy nut is my small way to help create awareness of this wonder food.

Braised Mixed Mushrooms

I seldom cook braised dishes. This is one of those rare ones that I am trying a braised dish based on a friend's sharing of how she does hers when she showed us the packet of mixed mushrooms bought from the dried food stall at Fu Lu Shou building in Bugis. 

Vermicelli Omelette (面线蛋饼)

For me, vermicelli is usually prepared either dried or with soup as a meal. Other than being a meal itself, I've never thought it could be made as a snack or side dish. 

It was a lazy day and a lazy mom (that's me) who was just too tired and lazy to cook anything fanciful started to have a bright idea and decided to make an omelette with vermicelli. I just took whatever I found in the fridge and dumped them in the frying pan and the outcome was something that I would never have imagined. Even my girl gave me her thumbs up after one bite! She loved it so much that she had made me promise to cook this again soon.

Matcha Red Bean Beancurd

I was craving for chilled beancurd and decided to give myself a treat by adding these 2 wonderful ingredients - matcha and red beans.

These 2 paired really well together and enjoying this chilled Matcha Red Bean Beancurd on a warm night is such an enjoyment!

Bubur Hitam

What can I do with the black glutinous rice left after making the Purple Sweet Potato with Black Glutinous Rice Soup? Make some Bubur Hitam since it's my hubby's favourite dessert!

Purple Sweet Potato with Black Glutinous Rice Soup (紫薯黑糯甜汤)

I was craving for this delicious and nutritious dessert from a vegetarian stall that I frequent often. I went to the supermarket and was elated when I managed to find the main ingredients to make this for myself and my family in order to satisfy my cravings.

Oreo Cheesecake

I was scratching my head over what to bake for my dearest hubby's birthday and decided upon this baked Oreo Cheesecake.

I rarely make baked cheesecakes as I always thought it is cumbersome and time consuming as you will need to steam bake the cheesecake, leave the cake to cool in the oven for up to an hour, then remove from oven to further cool on the wire rack, chill in the fridge overnight before I can finally sink my teeth into the cake.

Patience. That's what you will need. But after this round of baking. I can only say this...

It's worth the wait. 

绿茶乳酸饮料 (Matcha Cultured Milk Drink)

This refreshing drink is not only good for the tummy and digestion due to the cultured milk added, but also great for removing oiliness after meals as matcha powder is added.

Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken Rice

One-pot rice cooker meals are my top favorites. If you have never ever imagined that claypot rice can be under this one-pot rice cooker meal category, then you have to try this fuss free and super quick and easy cheater's way of preparing this meal!

Matcha Adzuki Buns

I was at a bakery and saw some Matcha Adzuki Buns. They looked really yummy and I decided to make some myself. 

Earl Grey Chiffon Cake

I made my first Earl Grey Chiffon Cake few years ago using the recipe from Happy Home Baking. After seeing Diana's recipe post a while back on Earl Grey Chiffon Cake, I was tempted to make this cake again and had her recipe bookmarked.

Matcha Chocolate

I've always loved Nama Chocolate from Royce. Ever since I started making my own Nama Chocolate, I've tried on various flavours. Matcha Chocolate is one of them.
