| The Water Convolvolusas, or Kang Kong as it is more commonly known, is a very hardy plant which requires very little care. Left on it's own, it will flourish along the riverbanks and even in the canals. Due to it's prolific nature, farmers used to feed them to livestocks such as pigs. Being an aquatic vegetable, do wash them thoroughly for the presence of tiny snails especially inside the hollow stems. What I do is to soak them in concentrated salt water for at least 30 minutes. Since I will be using roughly two tablespoons of liquids from the bottle of Fermented Beancurd, I will not add more salt to the dish. You may want to sprinkle a pinch of sugar to balance the taste although that is optional. Here are some benefits of the Kang Kong: - Antioxidant - Controls Blood Sugar - Combats Hypertension Try this out and let me know how you like it? Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| As it's name suggest, the Stinkbean gives off a pungent smell not many could accept. Also known as the Petai, it is something that requires an acquired taste. It would take tremendous courage for a first timer to try it but once he did, I am sure he would fall in love with this! (think Smelly Tofu) You could eat it raw straight away but in my opinion, Petai tastes best when cooked with Sambal Chilli! My recipe today is done via the lazy way without Assam (Tamarind) or pounding the Rempah from scratch. I am replacing the Assam with Lime Juice and the Sambal Chilli used in this recipe is ready-made bought from the wet market. If you have time, you could chop the Petai into smaller chunks. I find it tastes even better that way! Here are some benefits of the Petai: - Beats Depression - Combats Anaemia - Lowers Blood Pressure I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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.
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。
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.
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.

| 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! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
