Recipe • Orh Nee (Teochew Yam Paste Dessert)

Image
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...

Tutorial • Mickey Mouse Imprint Egg

Image
。. .。.:*・゜゚・* Season's Greetings to all! *・゜゚・*:.。..。 Today's tutorial is inspired by the very magical Mickey Mouse imprint hard boiled egg I had at Tokyo Disneyland last year! Quite a number of my friends "WoW" at the egg when I posted the photo then. So I tried to replicate it, considered successful until the last part when I peeled the egg shell while it was still hot and broke part of the egg white :/ Please peel the egg after it'd cooled down. Ok, before it gets too lengthy, let's begin!

I was given the opportunity in this collaboration between Dancing Chef™ (Singapore) and Singapore Home Cooks (Facebook). Using Dancing Chef™ Laksa paste and Hainanese Chicken Rice paste to create dishes other than the usual bowl of laksa and chicken rice. I'm sharing my first featured dish today as well as the recipe, using Dancing Chef™ Hainanese Chicken Rice paste. This is the base ingredient for the special sauce.
