  • Air Fryer Sweet Potato

    As Annie recently got her braces, she hasn’t been able to eat much — every bite feels like a challenge. So lately, I’ve been on a little mission to find soft, nourishing foods that still feel comforting and tasty. That’s how I ended up experimenting with sweet potatoes, inspired by…

  • Travel: Jakarta

    After the whirlwind of PSLE season, we finally carved out a few days to breathe — and what better way to celebrate than with a mother-and-daughter cousins’ getaway? My cousin flies to Jakarta often for work, but she rarely gets the chance to explore beyond meetings and hotels. So this…

  • Travel: Hội An

    Vietnam is probably my favourite country to visit in Southeast Asia. I’ve been to Ho Chi Minh City countless times, but this time, we decided to explore somewhere new — Hội An! The nearest airport to Hội An is Đà Nẵng International Airport, just a 2 hour 45 minute flight…

  • Neapolitan-style Pizza

    I’ve been testing out different pizza recipes: one using my focaccia dough, another that was just meh, and finally this one — by far the best pizza I’ve ever made. So of course, I’m sharing the recipe with you! It uses a pre-ferment, has a few more steps, and is…

  • Fried Eggs with Chives (韭菜炒蛋)

    Some dishes bring instant comfort with the simplest ingredients — and fried eggs with chives is one of them! The first time I ever had this was in Ningxia, home to the Hui ethnic group (回族) — and boy, can they fry a good 韭菜炒蛋! (Picture a big fiery wok…

  • Watercress with Pork Ribs Soup

    It’s the PSLE season, and that means it’s time to supercharge my eldest’s nutritional level. She’s already sick of the usual herbal chicken soup that’s said to “boost intelligence levels” (not sure if that really works 🤔). So this week, I decided to switch things up with a pot of…

  • Indon-style Fried Rice

    Whenever I have leftover rice at home, my go-to dish is always fried rice. It’s quick, hearty, and loved by everyone at the table. This Indon-style Fried Rice is my personal take — loaded with protein of choice, egg, veggies, a touch of sweetness from kecap manis and umami from…

  • Spinach with Oyster Sauce

    Sometimes the simplest dishes are the most satisfying. This spinach with oyster sauce and garlic crisp is a classic side you’ll often find at home. It takes just minutes to prepare, yet the flavours are bold — the freshness of spinach, the umami richness of oyster sauce, and the crunch…

  • Fried Wanton

    I make fried wantons quite often at home, sometimes even preparing extra batches to freeze for quick meals. They’re wonderfully versatile — crispy, savoury, and always satisfying. In our family, we especially love enjoying them alongside a plate of char siew noodles, where the crunchy wantons add the perfect complement…
