Home-style fried eggs

-
I didn't actually plan on cooking anything tonight but I was watching Kylie Kwong's DVD and it made it hungry. It was also about dinner time. I had help making this dish as I'm not the biggest fan of frying especially in a lot of oil, I'm afraid of oil splatter >_< This recipe is one of Kylie Kwong's and she calls it Mrs Jang's home-style fried eggs. This recipe is really simple to make and its so tasty, I repeat so tasty.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large free-range eggs
1 tbs oyster sauce
small pinch of ground white pepper
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1-2 red bird's eyes chillies, finely sliced
  1. Heat oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly. Crack the eggs in a small bowl, then pour into the hot oil. After 2 minutes, reduce heat to allow the bottom of the eggs to become firm and crisp; the yolk should still be runny at this point.
  2. Gently remove eggs from wok and drain off excess oil before easing onto plate. Drizzle egg with oyster sauce and garnish with pepper, spring onions and chillies.
Note:
*The recipe above serves 2 people or depends how much of a big eater you are :P For me this dish, I cooked by feel...I didn't really follow the recipe too specifically in regards to the amount of ingredients. 
*I also added coriander to the garnish, I love the herb and it went quite well with the dish.

For those of you who don't know who Kylie Kwong is, she is a restaurant owner, award-winning chef and fifth generation Chinese-Australian.

Green with Asian Envy - Pandan Kaya Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

-
Image
I call them "Green with Asian Envy" a.k.a Pandan Coconut Cupcakes with a suprise kaya filling topped with pandan cream cheese frosting and toasted shredded coconut. The reason for the name is because these cupcakes are probably the most Asian of cupcakes that I have ever made and eaten. What's there not to love about pandan or kaya (coconut jam)? Combine the both of them together and the flavours bring me back to my childhood days of eating kaya on bread. Most non-Asian kids would have been brought up on nutella or peanut butter on bread but I was brought up on kaya. Below is the recipe for "Green With Asian Envy" which I have adapted from Cupcake Central 's red velvet cupcake recipe. If you have not gotten your hands on their "Hatch That Dream" cookbook, you are missing out! So...what are you waiting for? If you love asian flavours and are a sweet tooth, do give this recipe a go! :)

Cafe Casuarina - your friendly neighbourhood cafe

Cafe Casuarina 4/77 Douglas Parade Williamstown VIC 3016 Opening Hours: Breakfast & Lunch (7 days a week) Last Saturday morning, we (Eddie, Pete and myself) visited Cafe Casuarina for an early breakfast. Mind you, the early I am talking about is about 8am. Usually I am still in bed but Eddie had a haircut appointment at 10am so for once, I was an early riser. By the time we got to the cafe, there were already a few people enjoying their breakkie. We were seated in the booth right up the back (as per our request). First observations, the cafe was really clean and the decor was nice and simple. Whilst we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious menu, I looked over and saw Jason practicing his flower arrangement skills. When we were ready to order, Jason promptly came to our booth and took our order. I chose the freshly squeezed juice as my choice of drink, I was asked what I would like in it and I told Jason to surprise me. my delicious combinat...

Eating My Way Through Singapore in 6 days

I remember once as a kid in Malaysia; my mum whisked me from school and took me to Singapore with her for the day as she had some business meetings to attend to. Did I remember her attending business meetings? Not really but I do remember the both of us sitting in a restaurant overlooking Orchard Road where we observed the people who went by. We had Japanese food; I had an ebi don and mum had an unagi don. I am blessed that at a very young age, I was exposed to different types of cuisines and I enjoy eating as much as I can. It's not the first time that I have been to Singapore but the past two times that I was there, I did not get to explore the food scene as much as I wanted to. So, this time I made it a point that I would try to hit up as many food places and eat as much as my stomach will let me. Below are the list of places that I visited whilst in Singapore:-
