Melbourne’s more than chilly weather off late makes me crave for soup. Hot, heart-warming nourishing soup! I think I’m the hibernating kind when temperatures plummet to brrrrrrrfreezing cold (for me at least); my appetite is unusually suppressed during the winter season. It’s the perfect time for soups, stews, roasts, carbs, lots of [...] Continue reading Pork Ribs and White Radish Soup
Bite-size savoury pumpkin cakes Aunty No. 2 from my dad’s side of the family has bestowed many slabs of this tasty treat to us when we were growing up and it remains a personal favourite snack of mine. Much like the white radish cakes served at yum cha establishments, this savoury pumpkin [...] Continue reading Savoury Pumpkin Cake
Believe it or not, this is my first successful chinese egg tart attempt!

Quick and simple, this popular Taiwanese dish makes [...] Continue reading Taiwanese ‘Pop-Corn’ Chicken with Crispy Basil Leaves
I love this Hakka dish for its simplicity. I associate this dish with my popo (grandma) who used to whisk this up for Sunday dinners. I remember being content polishing off a small chunk of this tasty dish (yes we have to share) with nothing else but plain rice and I would even pray I got the chunk with the [...] Continue reading Steamed Egg and Pork Mince with Salted Duck Egg Yolk
Mom used to cook and bake heaps but between manning the fort we call home, bringing up 5 kids and chauffeuring us to school, after school activities, tuition classes and what not, meant her food (especially lunches) gradually became one-pot/one-wok meals that met our protein and other nutrient requirements. It is not uncommon [...] Continue reading Ginger Lamb and Carrot Stew – Mama’s style |
