This Dutch baby pancake (aka German pancake) is like a sweet version of popover, mainly made with eggs, milk and flour. It tastes wonderful and goes really well with berries.

Wondering how nice the name of this dish sounds to you? To me, I’m totally intrigued to try just by spotting its name.

This Dutch baby pancake (aka German pancake) is like a sweet version of popover, mainly made with eggs, milk and flour.

The batter is poured into a hot skillet then baked in oven. Not too long, the pancake will puff up around the edges, that’s quite amazing to watch it turning into something looks like an aerated pillow.

To make this hearty and tasty soup is not too long, perfect for chilling days.

This cauliflower chowder tastes so good. Tastewise, the chicken stock as the soup base is the most important part. It adds a depth of flavours. In terms of nutrition, cauliflower contains lots of nutrients our body needs including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It’s low in calories and helps prevent cancer.

This hearty and tasty soup is quite popular in Australia and US. So I made it to see how my family liked it. Not surprisingly, it got thumbs up.

Chicken wings are a crowd pleaser at any party and so easy to prepare. This dish is inspired by Indian cooking that often yields many different spices. Yet, to make this dish, you only need 5 different kinds of spices. By mixing just a little bit of each one to marinate the chicken wings for several hours, the wings will turn to be very aromatic, and absorb enough healthy benefits from the spices.

Sometimes we want to have a banquet-like meal, sometimes we just want a simple one to balance our diet. This tofu and pork mince rice dish is so quick and easy to make. As Hongkongers, we are quite into this kind of one-plate rice dish (碟頭飯) that provides with enough proteins and nutrients. Pork, tofu and eggs are basic kitchen staples in Chinese cooking that I often stock a certain amount in fridge for whipping up our daily meals. Edamame beans (aka fresh soy beans, called 枝豆 / 毛豆 in Chinese) are my all-time favourite food. You might’ve enjoyed these little lovely and delicious beans in Japanese or Chinese restaurants. They are tasty and nutritious, full of proteins. I found these beans are wonderfully fantastic for making this dish. This rice dish is also excellently suitable for packing lunch back to school or work.

Pandan leaves are often used in Thai, Indonesian and Malaysian cooking. I particularly love the green colour as well as its refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

Coconut milk (coconut cream) is a perfect partner with pandan in making desserts. Beating the scorching heat in these few days down under here, I made this delicious cold dessert, pandan-coconut layered agar jelly.

Agar (also known as agar agar) is a gelatinous substance, extracted from algae, an edible seaweed. It produces a firmer texture than gelatine and can set very quickly at room temperature.

This jelly is very smooth, not too sweet, with a subtle mix of pandan and coconut fragrance. It’s absolutely refreshing in such a hot weather.

Whenever I dine out in the nearby Japanese restaurant, I would definitely order Unagi Don (Eel Rice Bowl) besides sushi. The sweet sauce, dressed on top of the fish, is addictively good, just like teriyaki sauce. I don’t want to miss a bit of it literally. The rice absorbs some of the sauce, making the whole dish so flavoursome. To make this dish, it’s very simple and quick. The whole cooking process only takes about 10 minutes or so. This is a keeper for any hectic days.
