I was not feeling well recently. Without pouring out details of my afflictions, suffice to say I was feeling rather delicate and while convalescing, I needed equally gentle yet comforting food. So the natural thing to do was turn to the sort of meals my mother used to make for me when I was recovering … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Pork & Pumpkin Porridge
The Saturday Kitchen – Chwee Kueh for Breakfast
When I was a little kid, I used to follow my mum to the wet market on Sunday mornings. Being a chubby, greedy child, there was one thing that motivated me to accompany her to the hot, stuffy market with her--the chwee kueh stall. Growing up, we ate this traditional Chinese snack only on Sundays … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Chwee Kueh for Breakfast
The Saturday Kitchen — Exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander Salad
I love Asian salads. Most of them burst with bold, aromatic flavours yet they are always refreshing and light. This exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander salad is one of my favourites, and go-to when I have guests over, or just as part of a midweek meal. It is very healthy and makes use of some … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen — Exotic Baiye Tofu & Coriander Salad

It made me think about my elusive recipe which … Continue reading The Elusive Recipe, Mumps & Indigo Tigers
The Saturday Kitchen – Szechuan Cucumber Pickles
I found three Japanese cucumbers lurking at the bottom of my fridge the other day. They were a little past their absolute prime though by no means badly compromised. But there were plans to go out for dinner that night and the next few days, so leaving the cukes to languish was not a wise … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Szechuan Cucumber Pickles
The Saturday Kitchen – Traditional Cantonese Radish Cake
Oh no! Is it already Sunday? This post may be late, but my kitchen was indeed busy on Saturday. This is my fifth attempt at making 'Lor Bak Gou', literally translated as 'radish cake'. It's not really a cake, but a steamed savoury Cantonese snack made of grated radish mixed with rice flour and aromatics, … Continue reading The Saturday Kitchen – Traditional Cantonese Radish Cake
Welcome to The Saturday Kitchen
In Blogging101, I had committed myself to a weekly food/recipe post every Friday. This was to instil some branding and discipline to my blog. While my fellow Blogging101-ers had already put that into motion, I have sadly lagged behind for two weeks. But today, I finally start! Instead of Fridays, Saturdays work better for me. … Continue reading Welcome to The Saturday Kitchen
