I was going to name this dish “Deconstructed Garlic & Chilli Butter Prawn Stir-fry”, but something seemed off. How can you deconstruct a stir-fry? By separating the prawns from the vegetables, and serving both over a bed of cabbage rather than tossing everything in together, it seemed quasi-deconstructed to me.…
It may seem this recipe takes a long time to complete. While this may be true, waiting around for a slow cooker to work its magic is hardly tiresome. On that note – you know your slow cooker. The pork should be cooked long enough to fall apart when pulled,…
This chicken is easy. I’m not going to lie – stirring together some ingredients and baking them isn’t exactly a technical masterpiece, yet the result is something truly wonderful. Bronzed and glossy chicken, flecked with chilli and spritzed with lime . . . I don’t really think you can go…
I’d like to make a shout out to my wonderful aunt and uncle, who gave me some freshly caught and filleted kahawai. When my uncle asked if I’d be making a Peranakan dish, an idea blossomed . . . Thus, this curry was born. After my amazing experience with Food…
My lovely cousin took me out for lunch on Sunday, where I had delicious prawn skewers. Ever since, I’ve been haunted by the feeling that I should recreate something similar in my own, culturally diverse kitchen. Prawns without chillies are lifeless. You may be an avid anti-spice advocate – but,…
Two ingredients. Well, three if you count the basil leaf. This ‘gelato’ – though I’m not sure it’s proper to call it that, as this is really just a cheat’s version – is creamy and utterly gorgeous. With the vivid berries and gentle coconut background, you’d hardly believe how quickly it…
If you’re looking for a low-carb meal that will leave you stunned rather than satisfied, this dish is for you. I’m talking tender chicken and a melting mix of herby cheese, all tied together – quite literally – with the ambrosia of our world. Bacon. (On a side note, I do…
This smoothie is an instant chiller with its subtle coconut and mint. The colour perfectly sums up the taste – light, creamy, and fresh! If you wanted to go hardcore green, you could always add some baby spinach leaves, too. You may replace the frozen mango with banana if you’re…
Perhaps the thing I miss most about Southeast Asian food is the mango shake. On a hot day (which is every day there, really!), there’s nothing better than slurping up this icy, fruity bliss. Creamy and thick, the dairy-free version here is sure to have you feeling totally troppo. There…
You may not go for instant coffee. That’s just fine by me – but the beauty of it here is in no waiting for brewing or chilling. Just pour, shake, and drink! If you do want the real deal, replace the 1/3 cup boiling water and coffee powder with a…
