Jiu Hu Char (Stir-Fried Jicama with Dried Cuttlefish)

This Chinese New Year, I had the privilege of learning how to make jiu hu char, a beloved Nyonya dish, from my mum.

Chinese Roast Chicken

For most of my life, I’ve regarded roast chicken as a dish flavoured with “Western” herbs like rosemary and thyme. Then at a Christmas party, I ate a roast chicken that overturned all my assumptions. The flavours were deep, complex and unlike any roast chicken I’d ever tasted. When I asked the chef for the…

Ah, shrimp toast brings back fond memories of my childhood. Growing up, I spent a lot of time poring over mum’s mountains of recipe books.

Beef Noodles at Kuan Soo Noodle Stall, ICC Pudu

Beef Noodles at Kuan Soo Noodle Stall, ICC Pudu

I’m a latecomer to the pleasures of beef noodles. Specifically, the beef SOUP noodle type. Somehow, I just never ate a version anywhere that was good enough to impress me – they were all too watery, like reconstituted Bovril, and were measly in their helpings. I still enjoyed beef noodles though, but only the dry…
