This traditional Teochew dessert recipe, Orh Nee , is taught to me by my Mum aka My Mum's Recipe. She's Teochew and loves her yam paste dessert! (♡˙︶˙♡) I beg to differ when she told me it was easy to make this dessert! After we finished making our Orh Nee, she agreed that it wasn't that easy afterall. Lol! 😅 But glad we did it! And reason why it wasn't easy was because this was our first attempt and we did everything manually, 纯手工! No blender! So tedious and engrossed we were while preparing, I actually forgot to take photos of some cooking steps and I stepped away to fetch Mini K from his kindergarten halfway through. Will update the missing photos when I make this dessert again! And you know the saying,"一次生，两次熟"...subsequent tries will be easier (and less messy)! （╹◡╹）♡  Due to the time and effort that went into composing this recipe, k indly do not claim recipe as your own.  If you would like to share on your blog or any other social media pl...

This dish, Hijiki no Nimono (ひじきの煮物) is often referred to as hijiki salad, but it is not exactly a salad. Besides usually served chilled, it's more like a Japanese side dish that is served with teishoku (Japanese set meal). So what is hijiki? It's a brown sea vegetables, rich in dietary fibre and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.  (Source) My boys & I love this appetizer and I usually cook in a reasonable quantity with extras to keep in the freezer. Yep, freezer. It thaws really quickly, making it a great dish to add to lunchboxes!

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.

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!
