Once again…one of our favourites… always a noodle soup. This time it’s wonton noodles! It is a famous Cantonese dish and it’s very popular in most Southeast Asia countries. You’ll find different variations of it, even the dried wonton noodle style with the soup served separately or ones that have Char Siu pork as well,…

Juicy Meatballs!
Who doesn’t love a good juicy meatball?! After exploring many methods, we noticed three key things to maximise the juiciness of meatballs: minced meat with 15 to 20% fat, moisten bread crumbs, and NOT overcooking those balls! We combine beef and pork mince for better taste and texture and having a higher fat percentage just…
Pandan Coconut Mochi Cookies
Fan of pandan and mochi? You should definitely try this then! It can be quite addictive! Thanks to a friend of ours who introduced us this youtube video by John and Malie, we got to try out their recipe, and discovered these amazing mochi cookies! Strange but amazing combo!

Billionaires Fried Rice
One would expect Chinese fried rice to be filled with vibrant colours and many different ingredients. However, this Billionaires fried rice is a simple and healthier variant, very aromatic and with lovely texture. This is one of our go-to recipes to prep in bulk for the week, especially during those we-just-want-to-be-lazy days. The only challenge…
Modified Hong Kong style Borscht Soup
In this cold cold weather, nothings better than an amazing warm hearty vegetable soup!! One of the very first recipes we both learnt prior to even meeting each other was the Borscht soup, but more towards the Hong Kong style. It was such a coincidence that we both loved this soup so incredibly. Took us…
Braised Chicken with Chestnuts
Over the past few weeks, we have been bulk cooking this dish and we’ve been absolutely loving it!

Place them flat side down on board….

Chinese Watercress Soup
I always have fond memories of having a large bowl of my mother’s authentic Asian soups going along with a bowl of rice before heading off to school. She would simmer it for hours and the aromatic herbs and spices would linger in the house for days. Out of all those homemade soups, Sai Yeung…
Singapore Chilli Crab
In Australia, we can definitely find the freshest seafoods, however, somehow, the best seafood dishes we have ever had are in Singapore! One of our favourites of all time is the famous Singapore chilli crab. We have been looking forward to make this for so long! For this recipe, we used the Queensland mud crab….
We can eat Pho ever
First thing to know about Phở is not what it is… it’s how do we even say it right? Fuh! Prior to coming to Melbourne in year 2005, I have actually never heard of Pho before. I’m guessing Vietnamese food probably wasn’t that popular yet in Singapore then. However, over the years, I personally feel…
