I picked this up from Jamie Oliver: Naked Chef I, and found that I have been using several adaptions of this recipe in my everyday cooking of fish lately...because it is really easy and darn flavorful. Now, ranked side-by-side with Steamed Fish in "Quick & Easy" category is Baked Fish!Baked Red Snapper Fillet (adapted from Jamie Oliver: Naked Chef I - Baked Seabass …
If I ever bake, simple bread ideas like Cheddar Cheese Bread and this... will stick with me. Butter Sugar Loaf, another yum!Tag: bread, Singapore eating
It reminds me. I used to get calls which speak in an automated manner and guessed that it must be some telemarketers, or just a wrong number. Now, there is a way to at least search and identify such unknown calls from www.reportphonenumbers.com. This site allows Search Caller Identifier and Reverse Lookup list of telephone numbers. It also has sections for you to read …
I found a few "lost" and neglected posts in my dashboard. Yes. I have been neglecting my blog for a while now. I know.This was a typical dinner during weekends in Taiwan, taken few months …
Hmmm....I really do not mind this vegetarian dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Another recipe that I've picked up from A's mom - we (me and YJ) call it by the name, Indian Green Beans. Hahahaha....that's another dish without a formal name. And the ingredients are almost similar to Indian Spicy Chickpeas.Indian Green BeansIngredients: green bean sliced, 4-5 shallots …
This is kinda an outdated post. But I needed a blog event. A blog event to bring out this ingredient. Weekend Wokking is the one. And taking opportunity of the economic downturn where most people are seen tightening their spending, it makes another rare chance for this ingredient. Just what am I talking about ?This round, it is hosted by one of my favorite floggers -Noobcook. …
While I'm in Singapore, my friend in California just received a gift from me. I'm beginning to like this. Shopping for gifts online - Thanksgiving, Christmas gifts and New Year gifts. The ease, selection and unbeatable prices. Wow! You get so many gift ideas for Men, Women and Kids. In other words, no one in the family will be left out. No friends will be left out. I'm now …
I've picked up a few good tricks in making Indian food. Butter, onions, cumin, turmeric....Thanks to A's mom (YJ's mom-in-law). There is really no written recipe from Auntie. I just tried to listen hard as she spoke. It seems that cumin, onion, and turmeric are sure to be there. Maybe it was just that few dishes that I asked her which happened to use most of these …
I split the red cabbage to three usages, and chose to post at different times because I just did not want you to have an overdose on red cabbage. November's Food in Color (FIC) came in time to showcase my last red cabbage dish because it turned out kinda PURPLE. Last month's was brown, with lovely mushrooms, remember?This is exactly like minestrone. Minestrone heavy on the …
When I came back to Singapore, one of the first things I did was to visit the dentist. It has been ages since I visited the dentist. I lost track on the "last visit" date - exactly what I told the dentist. I just can't stand that washing gadget in my mouth. It is so bloody (no pun intended) uncomfortable. Maybe I can start thinking of a Teeth Whitening System to maintain the …
If I ever bake, simple bread ideas like this will stick with me. Just like how this cheddar cheese sticks on the bun - Baked Cheddar Cheese Bread... Yum!Does it look like that common air purifier ? ;pI am quite a bread person, if you do not know.
I don't cook completely new dishes every time. Sometimes, new dishes and recipes mean improvement of older recipes and dishes, such as this Pepper Pork recipe.Pepper Pork ChopIngredients: Pork loin chops, ground white pepper, ground black pepper, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, some oyster sauceDirections:1. Rub the slices of pork with ground white pepper and black pepper2. Add …
We don't know if we will ever get a chance to return to US. We have decided to buy a place of our own instead of renting, if we ever return in future. Owning a house and renting are equally expensive. It depends on your personal requirements and many factors. While searching for potential residential real estate recently, we have found that websites which enable easy listing …
How to be wordless if I have one same idea but several dishes derived from it ? Seems there are many things to write about this. Foil-steaming is what I turn to when I am really lazy, especially when it comes to poultry. But I thought foil-steaming follows similar concept as roasting/baking in an oven ? No heating a pan of oil, no sauteing different ingredients at different …
This is the kind of Nasi Lemak that has retained its simplicity throughout these years. Unfortunately, prices for such simple pleasures succumb to inflationary factors. What used to be less than one dollar is now about $1.20-$1.50.When you look at the rice and think hard, it is obvious this rice dish does not have too much ingredients. It's typically some ikan bilis slathered …
I buy Dell laptops for the reason that Dell uses no middlemen and sells direct to customers. I like farmers' market for the same reason. I can buy fresh seasonal produce, straight from the farmers(no middlemen). Now we have a similar buying channel when it comes to prescription eyeglasses. ZenniOptical.com - you can buy stylish prescriptive glasses online! Starting from $8! …
I can't be only using all the red cabbage for just the red cabbage apple salad. So, other than the traditional way to make salad, I have also used it the less traditional way. I STIR FRIED IT!...if I can stir fry napa cabbage or Chinese cabbage, I don't see why I can't stir fry red cabbage. ERrrrmmm...I might be wrong?And so...I did not deviate too far. I did not add dried …
It is not surprising. The snack I was talking about in my last post on Deepavali lunch is Muruku. This is a popular savory snack in India. YESsssss! Savory is good for me! I just love the crunchiness and cumin aroma.I don't know the name for this. Some kind of crunchy fried flour with peanuts and curry leaf. Someone....pleeeaaaasssee...tell me the name...Tag: indian cuisine, …
We love Indian food. Naturally, hubby and I were delighted and privileged to be invited by YJ and YJ's mom-in-law, to a Deepavali lunch last weekend. YJ happened to be in Singapore during this time while her hubby, A (also our friend) is still in US. So....A, we are going to eat your mom's superb Indian/Tamil cooking on your behalf, ok? :D Thank you - A and YJ, for the …
Anyone dislikes mushrooms over here ? Ever since I started buying and using fresh mushrooms in my cooking when I was in the United States, I find it hard to resist fresh mushrooms while I was in Taiwan or now when I'm back in Singapore. Not as if I have not eaten fresh mushrooms before since birth in Singapore. It's just that my association with mushrooms when I was younger …
