Thai Green Chicken Curry

... with my favourite.. brown rice!

Chicken Rice

Whilst I was back home for my holidays, my mummy made her really yummy hainan chicken rice from scratch! I especially love the extra spicy chilli, succulent chicken and fragrant rice! I miss home and cannot wait to go back for good in December... then I can have delicious home-cooked meals every single day. :)

Fruits & Yogurt.

Hi guys.. sorry for my mysterious disappearance once again. Haha.. I'm back in sunny Singapore! I have been really busy going for interviews and meeting up with some of my prospective employers, hence leaving me with little time to even check my emails, much less blog! Anyways, here are some long overdue photos.. because of the stress and tension from exams, I really needed vitamins and nutrients from wholesome foods. That explains why I had lots of fruits, vegetables, brown rice and yogurt. :)

Till next time, take care all!

Dinner with my "lovely" notes as companion.

Egg Garlic Rice with chicken stir fry.

Steak & Vegies.

EXAM OVER!!

My major Oral Surgery exam is finally over!!!! WHOOPIE! So now.. time for some updates eh? Haha.. presenting to you...

chocolate chip strawberry yogurt muffin

I made this a long long time ago.. hahaha.. oops. I was meant to upload the pictures but I just haven't had the time to do so. So anyway, this recipe is definitely a keeper! I made 6 mini muffins and I refrigerated them and warmed them up for breakfast for 1 whole week yet I was not sick of it at all! :)

French Food??? Hmmm.

This was in October last year... in a French restaurant in Bangsar, KL. The food was yummy and the bill only came up to 280 ringgit!.. which is like AUD$90 and for good quality french food, I think it's a good deal. But hey.. I'm the kinda girl that will give up french food anytime for good old popiah!

Entree:

Escargot and wagyu beef with apple and garlic sauce
Foie Gra with mash and quails

Mains:
Fresh fish fillet with sweet cabbage
Walnut crusted lamb cutlets in red wine sauce

Dessert:
Orange souffle

Chicken + Baby carrots + Beans.

What's there not to like about this dish?

Toasted Turkey Turkish Bread.

I am sooo sorry I haven't had the time to write much lately.. uni has just been so full on (I am finally feeling the stress of being a final year student!).. and as you can see, I have been cooking in bulk and also fixing up 10 minute meals. I will try to update as often as I can!

What you need:

Turkish bread, smoked turkey slices, lettuce, spinach, sundried tomatoes, cheese and cracked pepper.

Place in a flat grill for ~5 minutes and you have a perfect sandwich that is crispy on the outside with melted cheese and warm ingredients on the inside.

Beef & Veg Stir fry

Udon nooooodles.

... with vegies and chicken! Yummy yumyum.

Blueberry scones & Yogurt!

Recipe here.

Sundried tomatoesss!

I am becoming a master of quick meals! Haha.. sometimes, I think the preparatory stage of cooking takes up too much time so I end up thinking of ways to whip up a healthy lunch/dinner in 10 minutes or less.

Ingredients you need: Wholemeal bread, sliced cheese (melted in microwave for 20secs), smoked chicken breasts, sundried tomatoes, cracked pepper! Yums! ;)

Exam blues.

Well.. it was not exactly an exam but yesterday, I had a community dentistry test which explains the quick meal and my notes. Haha.. I was pretty last minute when it came to this test but I think it went alright. Anyways, miso soup with tofu, dumplings and seaweed.

Apple & Raisin Scroll

The lingering aroma caught my attention.. the smell of freshly baked bread.. I knew I just had to give in to my temptation. "Just this once", I thought. I stepped right into Baker's Delight and was greeted by rows and rows of fresh bakes. It took me 5 minutes of contemplating (and drooling) before I finally decided what I want.

Wholemeal Apple & Raisin Scroll.

Chunks of apple pieces and raisins embedded in soft and fluffy wholemeal bread.

It was the perfect decision to have this for dinner.

Can I go back there again?

Are you sick of Brown rice yet?

I'm not! Haha.. I happen to be a big fan of brown rice and chicken, white button mushrooms and vegetables! I have just been in this phase but I assure you that there are more updates (not involving brown rice!) coming soon. Haha..

Squid Ink Pizza.

This is the BEST pizza I have ever tried. My family, Eisen and myself had this in a little Jap restaurant in Sydney last year and it was wonderful. A pity I cannot remember the name of the restaurant but I roughly know where it is.. so the next time I visit Sydney, I must have my squid ink pizza fix! :)

Nuts about You.

Nutty nuts coated into rice crispies.

Tom Yum Fried Rice.

Similar to the Tom Yum stir fry.. Load up on vegetables and mushrooms, add cooked brown rice and some Tom Yum paste.. you can add as much as you want. Haha.. very addictive!

3 steps to a Healthy Pizza!

1. On a wholemeal pita bread, pile on lite ham, pineapple pieces, fresh tomato slices...


2. Add just a littleeee bit of light mozzarella cheese (if you're on a diet). Otherwise, just pile on the cheese. Haha.. Then place into a toaster oven for 6-8 minutes.


3. Viola! I know it looks like a mess.. but it's yummy healthy gooey stuff! :)

Tom Yum Stir fry.

This is very similar to the previous post except that I used fresh salmon and Tom Yum paste.. YUMMY! I am craving for it now...

Sour, Spicy, Tangy, Sweet, Deeelicious!

Chicken and Vegetables Stir fry.

Hi guys! Sorry for the short disappearance.. I have been rostered into Oral Surgery for 2 weeks and it is just so full-on and exhausting! Anyway, it is all over now and I'm back with some simple recipes that go well with brown rice. Hehe.. I loveeee the grainy crunch of brown rice and don't forget, there are tremendous health benefits since it is such a good source of fibre! Hehe... ;P


Marinate sliced chicken breast with:
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
dash of black pepper and chicken stock

Stir-fry mixed vegetables and white button mushroom with marinated chicken and chopped garlic. Add your favourite sauce - anything goes, ABC, abalone, oyster sauce or add some chicken stock! Enjoy~

Chocolate Banana Filo Pockets.

This is the other dish I contributed - slice some bananas, add some dark chocolate chunks and fold ready made filo pastry sheets into triangles, seal with a little butter along the sides. Bake at preheated oven at 180deg for 12 minutes and enjoy the gooey chocolatey goodness! *drools*

Sorry no pics of the inside.. it was all gone too soon.

Crispy Chocolate Squares.

What do you get when you combine rice crispies, peanut butter, melted dark chocolate and marshmellows together? Crispy Chocolate Squaresss!!! This is one of the chocolatey dish which I contributed to the party :) Recipe here.

I modified the recipe and added more rice crispies for the crunch and I also placed the mixture in the freezer for an hour so they tasted a little like ice-cream bars!
