Soya Sauce King Prawns (醬油大蝦)

Simply Fresh!!! Soya Sauce King Prawns



My mum always brought me some fresh frozen seafood from my food heaven hometown whenever she visited me.

One of the seafood I love is XL tiger prawn with 10cm in length. The meat texture is much alike lobster. Chewy but slight tough! Steaming and Stir frying XL tiger prawns are probably the best cooking methods. Bare in mind that cooking prawns with their shells if possible as to retain the flavor, moisture and juices.

Balsamic Honey Glazed Chicken

Balsamic Honey Glazed Chicken

 I love Balsamic vinegar a lot. The rich and slightly sweet and sour flavor makes it goes well as bread-dips, salad vinaigrette dressings, gourmet sauces or marinade. The pricing can be costly by ranging on its age. I usually buy the commercial grade of balsamic vinegar which costs less than SG$20 in any supermarkets.

Meat Sauce Prawn Linguine

Meat Sauce Prawn Linguine with sautéed Asparagus and Tomato

Quick Meal is suitable for busy working mummy or wife. Spaghetti is the quickest meal which I can think off. PASTA PASTA PASTA!… But only in tomato sauce… Cream Sauce is definitely a no no for me. I just don’t like Creamy pasta or spag

Homemade Spaghetti sauce is always the best choice of all but if time does not permits esp after knock off time!!! So,  I usually use my all time favorite Spaghetti Sauce PREGO with mushroom. No matter what, I will give a try of making my own spaghetti sauce and can keep it for next time use. Anyway, here is my quick meal suggestion to u all



Fish Paste Bean Curd Roll

Healthier Choice Time: Fish Paste Bean Curd Roll 



This method of making this bean roll is almost identical to Ngor Hiong (五香), but the difference is I never use Five Spice Powder and Pork Fats. I guess most of us are healthy conscious so I decided to use Fish paste cum lean meat. This is definitely a healthier choice to try on. Happy trying.

Banana Cream Cheese Swiss Roll


Banana Cream Cheese Swiss Roll (All time favourite soft and Fluffy)
I always feel hesitated to try out as I have tried a few times in making of sponge cakes and it fails terribly. From a sponge cake it turns to be stiff and cracks when rolling it up. So finding out what goes wrong again and again, I decide to give a try again. Looking for the mistakes of my past failure:

1)      The eggs whites are not beaten in high peak!
2)      The high peak beaten egg whites are deflated during the mixing in!

This time, I got it right! HA HA HA. My efforts are really paid off! Thanks to blogger’s advice and youtube clips. Here it is:

Amy’s Soya Sauce Chicken


Soya sauce chicken is all time favorite. My mum teaches me to use combination of light soya sauce and dark sauce, red onion and garlic. From there, I would like to give a try with addition of ingredients like using this sauce to stew hard boiled eggs It is worth giving a try. The left over chicken soya sauce can keep in the freezer for any quick meals usage like fried bee hoon or any meat stir fry.

New York Cheesecake

Cheese cake is either you love it or hate it. I used to hate cheese when I was a kid. I’m not sure when I start to love cheese. One day, I checked on all the baking ingredients available in my fridge. I saw cream cheese, digestive biscuits, butter, sour cream….. So New york cheesecake recipes come to my mind. *wink wink wink*

Wasabi Mayo Prawn



Once I attended my colleague's wedding, I fell in love in one of the wedding dishes and this is my very first time trying on this Wasabi Mayo Prawn. Basically, it's rather easy to prepare this dish, mainly the well-blend of mayo cum wasabi. I tried this for the very first time, the review was it tasted better if i add more wasabi powder.
