Cheese Twists

Roti Prata is such a popular hawker dish in Singapore that frozen prata doughs are common in the supermarkets for people to satisfy their craving any time they want at home.

I love roti prata. My hubby and I will travel to places to try different versions of it. Some crispy, some doughy. But I have never purchased the frozen version of it until last year during the Circuit Breaker. We were afraid, just like most people, that there might not be enough food as the borders were closed or restricted. So we bought food that can last, just in case.

But the food supply in Singapore was not affected much. So the packet of frozen prata dough sat in the freezer for months. When our freezer was almost bursting, we decided to use it to clear some space for fresh food. We experimented with it to create different things instead of eating it like the normal roti prata. And now, we love it.

Rice Cooker Recipes

The rice cooker is normally used as a tool to cook rice in most Asian families. This is probably one of the first kitchen appliances that we bought when we moved in to our own home. For years, we used it to cook white rice and porridge and on some rare occasions, we cooked some bean desserts with it.

When the pandemic started last year and during the Circuit Breaker (lockdown), we cooked all 3 meals every day. It is tiring to cook 3 meals each day for a prolonged period of time. So we thought of some simple and easy way of cooking some of the meals. And hence, the birth of our one-pot-rice or rice cooker recipe series.

Breakfast Ideas

I have to thank my mother and grandmother for inculcating the good habit of eating breakfast every day since young. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it replenishes the nutrients after the body is rested over the night. It helps to restart the body engine and makes one more alert and energetic for the day. I enjoy my breakfast with a cup of black coffee, no sugar and no milk. This gets me going and makes me alert in my job and now, recipe creation.

I started the habit of letting my phone camera eats my food before me when I started to make my own breakfasts at home. It started with store bought bread with homemade or store bought spreads or toppings. Then I started baking my own bread. Over time, we know the importance of consuming lesser processed food and hence I try to cook a lot using fresh ingredients instead of using bottled or canned food whenever possible.

Radish Cake

Radish Cake or Lo Bak Go or Turnip Cake or Chai Tow Kueh.

This is one of my favourite dishes that my mum has made. This is also the ONE recipe that triggered me to start writing down recipes properly.

Welcome to My Blog

My hubby has been pestering me to start a blog for a number of years. He has seen me getting frustrated when I can't remember the exact ingredients and steps for some dishes and frantically combing through my scrap books for the bits and pieces of the recipes scribbled in somehow illegible handwriting. I have also always wanted to document as many of the dishes that my mum has cooked since young which we have enjoyed so that we can preserve them and remember how to cook them.

But I have been delaying this project. Time is always the excuse.
