Kimchi Fried Rice -- kam sa ham ni da (Thank you in Korean language)


Woke up late today and was too lazy to head out for lunch. Yes, I woke up during lunchtime ;P (Paiseh!). Checked the fridge and there was this bottle of kimchi bought recently and leftover rice from last night. Did not take me long to decide on the combination - Kimchi fried rice...yummy!

Macaroons Finally!


Why did I title this blog as " Macaroons Finally"? It is really "finally". "FINALLY", after 3 trial and errors, I have managed to make macaroons look like macaroons. (I am not exagerating.) The sense of achievement is not so much about being successful  but that I did not give up.

Healthy ABC Soup


Invited some friends over for dinner today. Decided to make ABC soup despite I am not really a soup person but one of my friends is. She is a cantonese. And this is one of the easier soup to make. No fuss and healthy. Instead of using slow-cooker, I decided to try out my seldom-used thermo-pot.

Hence I decided that I should recreate what I have tasted. The difference is I converted it from a juice base to a sorbet and mine is healthier as you can control the amount of sugar you want to out inside.

I love Pecan Tart


My ambition is to master all the foods I love. Pecan tart is my favourite. Eat it warm with one scoop of vanilla ice cream. I will drool at the thought of it. Been looking around for a reliable pecan recipe and came across a cookbook - Pastry: Savoury & Sweet by Michel Roux. I have modified the recipe slightly to suit my style of cooking - which made it easier and more convenient for my sake
