Kway Chap (Flat Rice Noodles with Pork Stew)

This is another popular street food in South East Asia – something I would not have considered making at home if I live there. Traditionally, the stew consists of pork and various pig organs but for simplicity and convenience, pork tenderloin or other pork cuts would suffice and be as delicious! Enjoy! {Adapted from Spice […]

Chicken Egg Rolls

The deep-frying saga continues today, lol. Another thing I craved recently is fried spring rolls. I ended up making egg rolls instead since I didn’t feel like going to the Asian store to buy spring roll wraps. I have to say I am pretty impressed with the Nasoya egg roll wraps – everything you need […]

Tuna Salad

Delicious! 2 (7 ounce) cans tuna (I use Chicken of the Sea Tuna Chunk Light) 3/4 cup mayo 2 tablespoons sweet relish 1 stalk celery, […]

Rambutans

Rambutans in Costco??? Shocking! So Keith was in Costco last Saturday and came across these rambutans – he bought a pack and forgot to tell me about it till this afternoon, lol. I’m so surprised! It has been over 20 years since I last ate fresh rambutans. I remember as a child, I would often […]

Black Forest Organic Gummy Bears

I haven’t eaten gummy bears for a looooong time. I’m glad there are healthier options now that are free of dyes. I’m partial to the orange and strawberry flavors – delicious! 😁

Fried Radish Cake and Porridge

I had fried radish cake (made this a while back and froze it and promptly forgot I have it until a couple of days ago, lol) and simple porridge with stir-fried green beans and roasted peanuts for breakfast. Comfort food indeed! ❤️ Radish cake recipe is from MyKitchen101en.com. Porridge is simply made from rice (I […]

Shrimp and Avocado Sushi Bowls
