About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

    Sorry that I am one day late for the monthly pick as November just fly pass too fast without me realising. I guess one of the reasons is because I am away to Bali for 6 days.

    Here is the list of recipes that I have posted for the month of November. And since the list is not too long, I will just choose one pick for this month.


  • Dried Oyster, Scallops and Chicken Porridge (Conge...




  • Grilled Asparagus in Bacon Rolls




  • Stir-fry Sambal Chilli Minced Meat with Onions and...




  • Chinese Wongbok (China Cabbage, Bai Cai) Soup




  • Stir-fry Broccoli and Scallops with Garlic




  • Deep Fry Breaded Prawns (Using Ritz Crackers)




  • Stir-fry Chicken and Tomatoes with Oyster Sauce



    • Pick of November

    Stir-fry Broccoli and Scallops

    The reason why I have decided on this dish as it is not uncommon to a lot as it is often seen on different kind of occasions. And importantly is that we should have sufficient amount of vegetable daily and broccoli is one of the vegetable that I highly recommended due to it's high nutrients value.

    I hope you will like my choice too! =)

    Picks of September 2011

    While I was writing this post, Pick of September 2011, I went through my September posts and realised that I have only written 10 posts this month - one recipe every three days, is it sufficient? Last month I have 26 posts, it meant I have been posting almost everyday! =)

    Actually the reason why I have not been posting so often as I am worried that one day, I will be lack of recipe to post up. =( Hence, I need to spread out my post, 3 posts per week. I hope this is still a reasonable frequency.

    Below is the list of recipes that I have posted for September categorised into Chinese and Western styles:

    Chinese
    Western
    I have chosen 2 Picks for this month; One each for Chinese and Western Styles:

    Pick for Chinese Dish

    Pick for Western Dish

    I hope that you will like the two picks for this month. =)

    Picks of August 2011

    Most people, excluding chefs of course, normally cook what we like to eat and all the recipes that I have posted are my babies.

    Posting "Pick of the Month" is such a cruel thing for myself and it is nearly mission impossible to pick only one of out all the recipes that I have published, So I change the topic from "Pick of the Month" to "Picks of the Month". =P

    Below is the list of recipes that I have posted for August categorised into Chinese, Western, Asian and Dessert:

    Chinese
    Western
    Asian
    Dessert

    I have chosen 3 "Picks of the Month" as follows:

    Simple and Nice Pick
    Simple recipe with easy steps and little preparation
    Grilled Salmon 

    "Achievement of the Month" Pick
    My greatest challenge with many trials and errors and it is still not my 100%!
    My first grill recipe and to-date, it is still frequently seen on my dining table

    Leave a comment to tell me what's your pick then? =)
