顺利猪肉粥 Soon Lee Porridge @ Clementi Central

An impromptu visit to Clementi Central last week prompted me to have lunch at Blk 448's Market & Food Centre.

With a myriad of options available, I was spoilt for choice!

I walked along the stalls and it did not take me long before I stopped my tracks at Soon Lee Porridge. 

I placed an order with the lad standing outside the stall and was duly informed that there would be at least a twenty minutes wait.

吃在台北 Eat At Taipei @ JCUBE

座落于裕廊东的 JCUBE （Jurong Entertainment Centre 的前生） 在今年四月就已隆重开幕。由于讨厌人挤人的缘故，到那闲逛的计划一拖再拖，迟迟没能实现。

直到几天前受大哥之托携带家中两老到JCUBE三楼的「吃在台北」品尝台湾小吃我才有借口説服自己到那兜两圈。

Video: Hong Kong School Boy Deep Fried Terrapin

A home-made video from Hong Kong has recently gone viral, drawing flakes from netizens.

Apparently, a school boy has deep fried a small Red Ear Slider and his voice could be heard from behind the video camera describing how to eat the terrapin.

He demonstrates by pushing a fork down the dead terrapin's neck, and using a knife to slice off it's head. The fork with the head was then taken behind the camera followed by an exclamation of "Very crispy!"

He then stabs the terrapin in the abdominal with the knife and hits the terrapin against the bowl repeatedly as the carapace has harderned from prolonged frying. 

The boy eventually cuts the terrapin into two, spilling it's intestine.

Watch the video below.

Cook For Family

With our hectic lifestyle, family dinners are not happening for many of us as much as we had wanted. We would get so caught up with our lives that we tend to neglect our loved ones. 

When Daniel of DanielFoodDiary emailed me about this #CookForFamily initiative started by him, I knew I had to take part.

His objective is simple: To get more bloggers, and hopefully their fans and followers, to start cooking and bond with their families. 

Recipe: Coca Cola Chicken Wings

I have long heard about this weird way of cooking chicken wings with Coca Cola but I have not attempt this recipe till today. I am surprised that this recipe is so easy and the end product can be so good! My Mum, in particular like it so much that she asked me how it was done. One thing I find about this recipe is that the combined 400ml liquid of Coca Cola and water may be a little too much because it takes roughly 20 minutes for the liquids to be reduced. Though the taste is nice, I find the meat texture a little too overcooked for my liking. I think I will reduce the water to 100ml and see how it turns out next time. Try this out and let me know how you like it? Bon appetit!

Recipe: Seaweed Soup With Tofu

Unlike my other 老火汤 recipes which require long hours of simmering, this is a relatively no-frills soup which can be done in a jiffy. So, if you are pressed for time yet craving for soup, this is the recipe for you. This is quite a light soup as the main ingredients are just Tofu and Seaweed. You may like to add some seafood, meatballs or even Yong Tau Foo to make the taste more robust. I happened to have some Prawns and Fish Maw lying around in the fridge so I added those into the soup as well. Here are some benefits of Seaweed: - Prevents fat absorbtion - Reduces water retention - Promotes mental youthfulness I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit!

Recipe: Stir Fry Spinach With Salted Egg

I was at the supermarket choosing Spinach for this recipe when I noticed that it was labeled as 笕菜 on the packaging. This confuses me as I always thought that Spinach is 菠菜 in Chinese? Can someone enlighten me whether 笕菜 and 菠菜 are the same? Anyway, here are some benefits of the Spinach: - Loaded with flavonoids which protects the body from free radicals - Contains anti-inflammatory properties which acts against Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Migraine and Asthma I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit!
