I love herbal food, the more bitter the better! But of course with young children at home, I'm more cautious of the herbs used so it's usually the more basic type of herbal soups using herbal soup kits from reputable Chinese medical hall. I was delighted when given this chance to try out Huiji Waist Tonic, this brand has been in the market for 25 years, and is one of the most trusted waist tonic brands in Singapore. It is made with 6 different kinds of premium-quality herbs: Cordyceps, Ginseng, Du Zhong, Dang Gui, Shou Wu and Da Zao. There is no alcohol content, added sugar, honey or thickening agents. Besides consuming it twice a day as recommended, it can be used as an alternative to herbs when preparing herbal dishes. Today's recipe, Huiji Herbal Lion Head Meatballs (汇集焖狮子头) , is a dish suitable for young & old. Lil K kept drizzling his rice with the herbal gravy, it's delicious! Besides the recipe, there is also a giveaway by Huiji Waist Tonic. The lin...

While I want to introduce a variety of new food to my boys, they are not big fans of pasta in "unusual sauces" besides the basic tomato sauce! Incorporating new ingredients to my usual cooking method or presenting it Asian style will be easier to win them over! The boys have macaroni soup very often for their lunches, so I decided to replace macaroni with Casa Rinaldi's gnocchi. These ready-to-cook gnocchi are really convenient and a great substitute, the boys enjoyed eating it! :D I guess it's comfort food! No wonder they say chicken soup for the soul!

Have you tried gnocchi before? These are plump little lumps of pasta made mostly of potato and eaten as a form of pasta dish in Italy. The Italians usually eat it with pasta sauce as part of their staple dish. Some of them panfry this and coat with cheese.

We are a Japanese food loving family! Somehow it's always easier to find suitable food within a teishoku (Japanese set meal) for both Lil K and Mini K. Japanese Pork Katsu is one of our favourite. I cook it often and usually will cook extra to keep for Lil K's lunches. Oh! Talking about crispy breaded pork, here's another recipe , Chinese style! （╹◡╹）♡ If you tried any recipes on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back to me.

This recipe is a joint effort of my mum and I...alright, she made everything from scratch while I only did the photography part! (^^) Presenting... Pulut Hitam Kanten which is Black Glutinous Rice Agar Agar. Usually bubur pulut hitam is eaten hot like sweet porridge with a drizzle of coconut milk/cream but my mum made it as kanten that's eaten chilled. Very refreshing for a change! （╹◡╹）♡ If you tried any recipes on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back to me.

Unlike most saturated fat, coconut fat is MCT (Medium Chain Fatty Acid) which can be broken down by the body more easily. Coconut is also one of the richest food sources of lauric acid which has anti-viral and anti-bacterial functions. Coconut can be a part of healthy diet, when consumed in moderation.  (Source) Give this Coconut Chia Seed Pudding with Berry Compote a try!
