Pad Thai Noodles

I always wanted to replicate this noodle dish at home as I miss eating the version I had during our stay in Brisbane. As you know this is one of the well-known dish  in Thailand known as Pad Thai. It has a subtle substance of flavours with pickled turnip, crushed peanuts, fresh chives and a dash of lime. You can hardly find a good one in Singapore because they are not as popular as Thai curry and rice dishes.

Lotus Root, Water Chestnut & Loquat Soup

After a long search, I manage to find Loquat which is also known as “枇杷果“ in Chinese. This fruit is very good as it helps to expel heat from the lungs, eliminate sputum and stop coughing due to Heat. As this is a seasonal fruit it might be slight difficult to get hold so do keep a look out for them in the supermarkets or fruit stalls. 

The taste of the soup is very smoothing and full of fragrant that is hard to describe. With the mixture of lotus roots, pear, water chestnut and loquat you have to try this soup on your end to justify the taste. But no worry it this is not those sweet soup taste.

Cantonese Style Steam Chicken

Find this Cantonese Style Steam Chicken dish looks delicious from one of the cookbook I loan from the library. I wonder how does it taste with the extra ingredient; Chinese Sausage (腊肠) added into this dish because I normally just steamed chicken with ginger and spring onion.

Steam Pork Shoulder With Black Bean Sauce

Since I have some Pork Shoulder (妃子骨) in the fridge, I decided to make this Steamed Pork Shoulder with Black Bean Sauce which recommended by one of my blogger friend. According to her, pork shoulder bone has little cartilage and the meat is also of better quality which in a way the result will be smooth and soft.
