Pak Tong Koh


Pak Tong Koh (白糖糕) is one of my favourite childhood breakfast treat which my dad used to get for me. And recently I happen to find this recipe from one of the "Local Kueh" recipe book that I bought. The recipe itself is easy to follow but the fermentation time is a bit way too long; need to rest the batter undisturbed for about 8 hours. In such case I did not try out the recipe until I come across another similar one from a website.

Mango Pudding

Saw this Mango Puddings recipe from m4m website forum and it was strongly recommended by most of the people who had tried it. Since now it is mango season where you can easily get hold of fresh and juicy mango, I decided to give this recipe a try. I followed most of the ingredients given by Hugbear (base on her recipe) except by replacing some of the required ice-cream to mango juice and milk because I don't have enough at home.

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.
