Onde Onde or Klepon (in Indonesia) is a delicious and aromatic local asian snack made with glutinous rice flour, filled with melted coconut palm sugar and coated with freshly grated coconut.

Fresh succulent tiger prawns steamed with egg tofu, vermicelli and crispy aromatics. This is a typical Chinese dish but I make it yearly for our Chinese New Year reunion dinner.
Tomato Egg 15-Minute Stir-Fry Recipe (番茄炒蛋)
This 15-minute stir-fry tomato egg dish is all you need to make a protein-rich, quick and easy meal that can be served over rice, noodles, toast or on its own. I particularly like it with steamed plain rice with a little drizzle of chilli oil.
Fruit Cake, Super Moist and Super Easy
This Fruit Cake recipe is tops! Make it for Christmas or any festive season. I heat-soaked the dried fruits on the same day I baked the cake. And no need for special baking equipment, just a mixing bowl and whisk to mix all ingredients together. Super moist and flavourful, super easy to make.
Classic Marinara Seafood Spaghetti (Spaghetti alla Pescatora)
This Marinara Seafood Spaghetti is an Italian classic that can only taste better with plenty of fresh seafood and a gorgeous rich marinara sauce.
Muah Chee / Mochi / 麻糍 (Steamed or Fried)
Muah Chee or 麻糍 can be easily made at home. I love this pillowy soft, chewy and bouncy snack coated with peanuts and black sesame powder, especially when it’s freshly made.
Egg Tart 蛋挞 (Refined Sugar-Free)
Creamy custardy and mildly sweet egg custard in a buttery flaky melt-in-your-mouth pastry tart, handmade from scratch and baked fresh from the oven. I love to enjoy these warm egg tarts with a cup of teh-c-kosong, Singapore’s version of milk tea with no sugar. This is the perfect afternoon tea break for me.
