Hi there! Happy 2020! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ This year's  Chinese New Year is merely a month after Christmas! I don't know if I'll have time to bake any CNY goodies but let's start with an auspicious looking dish that can be served during reunion meal! 8-Treasure Bag with Dancing Chef's Chicken Rice Sauce Why 8-treasure?

Hi there! If you already know, I love making Chinese New Year (CNY) snacks and goodies but only the  easy ones . Until I have more time (read: the kids are older), I will not attempt time consuming goodies like pineapple tarts and sort. These Florentine Mixed Nuts Crisps have been in my CNY to-do list for at least 4 years! However, it somehow got pushed down the list while I did other easy goodies like crispy seaweed-codfish & cranberries cornflakes cookies (≧∇≦), until my dear friend gift me a tub of her homemade flavorful nutty crisps last year, that I remind myself to make some this year! Thinner version I like my florentine crisps thin and filled with toasted nutty fragrance! You may increase the amount of florentine powder in this recipe if you prefer thicker texture. Thicker version （╹◡╹）♡ 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 t...

I had been thinking about making a soup that is nourishing and flavorful, at the same time presentable for Chinese New Year (CNY) dinner. Then I saw coconuts at the supermarket and recalled seeing posts of chicken soup in coconut. That gave me an idea and here's my recipe for Fortune Double-boiled Chicken Soup in Coconut . I hope you will like this as much as we did! The light herbal complements the natural sweet tasting soup!

Hi, everyone! I realise my last post was in November! 2 long months of neglecting this lil space! We went to Bangkok & Huahin during the December school holidays, which I hope to blog about soon! ♡ But for now, it's a simple recipe of XO sauce braised Ee-fu noodles! Both my boys love eating ee-fu noodles, which is so simple to cook and I usually do non-spicy for them.  Recipe link here . But today, I fry up a mild spicy version using  Fortune brand  original dried scallop in XO sauce. I also added Locos and Abalone sauce from the same brand. （╹◡╹）♡ 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.

Ohhhhh these are the legendary irresistable crispy crabstick snack that got many homecooks making them at home!!! It's my first time making these and in fact, also the first time tasting them! I've never tried those that were sold outside and of course, not willing to spend 10 over bucks on them! #CalculativeModeOn There are many recipes and methods circulating online. Some used deep-fried method, oven baked and air-fried method. I decided to use the latter! And because of the many different methods going around on how to achieve a nice golden crisp for this inexpensive snack, I really don't know how and who to credit. So if you happen to read and think this is your original recipe, do drop me an email. I'll be happy to credit you. Thanks :)  Ok, here's how I did my Air-fried Crispy Crabstick Strips !   Ingredients: 1 pkt of Crabsticks 2TBS Oil I used this brand :) Method: •Thaw crabsticks and unroll them, then tear into strips about 0.5-1cm ...

I've been wanting to make some home made snacks for CNY (Chinese New Year). With limited time in the mornings while the boys are in school, pineapple tarts and kueh bangkit are certainly not on my to-do list. And the snack I make must be something my boys will eat, otherwise it defeats the purpose! So.... Honey Cornflakes it shall be! It's really easy and took me less than 30mins! Makes about 40 pieces (3.5cm cupcake case) Ingredients: 150gm Plain Cornflakes 50gm Unsalted Butter 2TBS Honey Sufficient amount of Hundreds & Thousands (to sprinkle) Method: •Gently crush up the cornflakes and pour into a mixing bowl. •Lay cupcake casings on baking tray. •Melt butter and honey over low fire, till it turns frothy. •Pour the hot mixture into cornflakes and mix well. •Scoop the cornflake mix into cupcake casings and sprinkle "Hundreds & Thousands" on top. •Preheat oven at 150degC and bake for about 12mins until cornflakes turn...
