Hi folks I was born in Singapore but moved to Australia when I was young. I’ve lived here for 50 years but I still crave the ‘home food’. It’s not always easy to get here and the authenticity is usually compromised.

Artisan Bread. I have been experimenting with making Artisan bread. The photo is a loaf of bread with cheese and I added sun-dried tomatoes and olives. It worked out well. It will feed a whole family and is great in the dinner table.

Wat Tan Hor Fun is a family favourite. I’ve made it with a different recipe this time. The measurements for the ingredients are much better.

Drunken noodles with Beef and Prawns. I used a recipe but I added a lot more vegetables. Delicious.

Recipe from Curries with Bumbi on YouTube.

This is Chicken Marsala. It is a delicious meal for my family as we have one family member battling cancer. Our favourite spicy food is not an option right now.
The recipe was found on YouTube. ‘Italian Grandma Makes Chicken Marsala’.

Sorry guys!
I have a very sick family member who cannot eat spicy food for a while. YES he is a Aussie who is devastated not to have Nyonya food!
I cooked a huge Pot Roast with veges and French Mashed Potato so everyone had dinner plus sandwich meat for a week.
I tried to add the recipe but it wouldn’t work. Sorry

Char Siew Chicken with rice and veges. A good lunch for a University student.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Hi Folks. I’ve been continuing my ‘cooking lessons’ with YouTube chefs. This is my offering a few nights ago. Char Siew Chicken and stir fried veges.

This is Pepper Steak. I have been experimenting with velveting meat. I wish I had started this journey sooner. I used Chuck or Flank steak for this dish and velveting cut the cooking time significantly and the meat was silky and soft.

Hi guys, this was my first attempt at a traditional Silky Egg Hor Fun. I should have been braver and made the sauce thicker.
I cannot leave a recipe because I used ideas from several options.

Hi guys! This is my first photo of something I cooked. Ambila Beef with lots of vegetables. It is basically the way my Grandma and my Dad would make it.
