My love to bring back instant noodles when  I travel. Tasting the instant noodles also let me know about the local culture. What are they eating for instant noodles. Below are the noodles I tasted. Sorted by country From : Japan-Ramen.  You can find this in those "tourist supermarket. I did not see this in the supermarket in the remote areas. If you love thin noodles, you will like this. The thick brooth (like tonkatsu soup-though not exactly taste like it) will make you happy if you are craving for tonkatsu soup based noodles. From Japan- Udon with dried Tofu. A new find for us while shopping in a supermarket at a remote area near Kirin Beer factory. Cost only 98 Yen. The udon is those fresh udon and there is a dried tofu. Very good indeed. I guess it will be my new must bring home item from Japan in future. From Japan - Ramen :  Saw this at a Supermarket near Kirin Beer Factory. Cost less than SGD2 for a packet of 5. Saw a  Japanese housewife buying it. So I fo

Its my birthday. So we try out this place for ribs. #Morganfield's Ribs We spent a total of $112 for what we have today. Not cheap but looking at its quality, still not too bad. Immediately I like this place upon entering the air-conditioned area. Tables are big, chairs are comfortable There is a promo going on. But only for spending above $400 Saute mushrooms. Quite well done. The problem is, mushroom is like a sponge. If you fry them, the likely hood of them eating up the oil is very high. So I rather choose not to eat too much cause my stomach cannot take too oily food. Now the main star. Its an American ribs restaurant.  So we ordered their house specialty. Full slab priced between 40 to 50 dollars. The ribs very well done. Soft meat easily tear from its bones and not tough to bite. Delucious.  We tried the ribeye. Though  it is nice, there is nothing to shout about. I should say it is better to have their ribs when you are here

10 Sep 2017 - Happy 21st birthday Its my daughter's birthday. So I made her a cake she requested. With the bluberries tea leaves she brought home. I used he tea leaves, tweet the pandan cake recipe and ta da, here is the cake created. Some tell me it is a little to much berries. But after we cut and ate it, we find that this combination is just nice. We finished half of the cake in less than 30mins.  Now, it is time to indulge.  My daughter wanted a restaurant somewhere near the sea. Out of the town. So we decided to choose East Coast Park. Decided to revisit Sandbank as we tried before and quite good. My daughter goggled and made her pick from the menu from the website. When we reach there, she realised she checked on the wrong website. She has mistakenly checked on Atmosphere Bistro instead. So, we decided to go with the flow. Try out Atmosphere Bistro.  http://atmosphere-bistro.com.sg/east-coast-park-parkland-green/ It is a good mistake. Food is good, service i

It is Saturday and one of my daughter is having lunch at home before heading out. I will try my best to cook for them so long as my children are at home for lunch or dinner knowing that they will not have enough vegetables intake when dining out. Decided to cook teochew porridge. We have switch to brown rice for quite some time. Decided to cook chinese spinach. I have some left over of duck wings from Taipei. So it ended up as my porridge side dish as well. Simple lunch for 2 person. Our favourite to have plenty of vegetables. Yes, supposed to use century egg. But I have got left over of 3 flavour eggs from my Taipei trip. So decided to use it to cook with the vegetables. 1. Place water to boil in the kwali 2. Boil the stalk for 1 min, then stir in the leaves for another 3 mins. 3. Add the cut eggs. Add salt to taste. 4. Add fried garlic. Serve. Oh usually, I will pre-fried some garlic for daily use. However, garlic prices has increased so much that I decided to try out the rea

We bought a packet of instant cold noodles form Big Box last weekend and it taste really great after trying it. We all felt that if we have some pickle to go with it, it will taste even better. So I decided to try out making my own pickle. After checking out a few website, the recipe seems to be the same. 1 portion sugar 1 portion vinegar 1 portion water. Boil all the above and let it cool Placed the cut vegetables and let it soak. So I decided to try out myself. For a start, I make a little so that in case anything goes wrong, my food won't get wasted. 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vinegar (I add a 1/4 more vinegar) 1/2 turnip and 1 small carrot. I boil the sugar and water first. Until the sugar dissolved, I add vinegar and turn off the fire once it boil. I add more vinegar to it as I felt it is not sour enough  to have that typical korean pickle taste. Once the liquid cool down, I soak them into small containers. My taste test 1. 30 mins. - a hint of bitte

I love korean spicy soup. Always spent $8 per bowl for 1 bowl of such soup. I was watching this Korean celebrity cook show and realised they used only the bean paste to cook some soup. So I decided to cook my own soup. Its my first try today. Oh boy, it taste so good. The normal bean paste Spicy bean paste Ingredients Tofu 1 pkt Egg 1 Non spicy bean paste -1 rounded teaspoon Spicy bean paste - 1 teaspoon Note The paste may not be able to dissolve easily in the soup. So it may be good to stir the paste in a bowl separately with some water before adding into the soup. If you want a stronger punch, a teaspoon of chopped garlic will do the trick. For more spice, add some pepper flakes. To adjust to a smooth taste, you may add a little sugar. Step 1 Boil 1/2 cup of water in a small sauce pan Add spicy bean paste to water. Stir to dissolve. Upon boiling, add the cut tofu. You will realised the soup look more after the tofu was added. Upon boiling, add the non-spicy bea

Wanted to eat the cucumber salad so badly but not able to buy from anywhere. Decided to check out on the internet and found this website - http://crazykoreancooking.com/recipe/seasoned-cucumber-oi-muchim I tried it with 100% ingredients. It taste good.  However, I find it a little too salty. So after a few tries, I have tweaked to only the following ingredients without having to follow exactly the portion of ingredients. I have also excluded the garlic and onions. I guess its about salad dressing to the vegetables. We can change up to our taste. Main ingredients - Cucumber, or I can add tomato 1 teaspoon of vinegar 1 teaspoon of sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of Korean Hot Pepper flakes (more for more spicy) 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil Sesame seeds (Fried, optional) Step one, cut the cucumber to your preferred shape Mix all the ingredients except cucumber in a bowl. Use a glove, mix the ingredients to the cucumber. Try out one piece. You can
