Squid Ink Pasta with Prawn
This squid ink pasta dish is a coypcat of my favourite dish from Lulu La Delizia, one of the best restaurants in Perth. What I love most about their dish is how it has that rich prawn oil flavour with a touch of sweetness from the red vermouth sauce. Of course, it is best to … Continue reading Squid Ink Pasta with Prawn
Prawn Hargow (Crystal Prawn Dumpling)
Homemade prawn hargow will always taste that little bit better than store-bought frozen fare.
XO Sauce Prawns with Finger Lime
Whoever invented XO sauce is trolling everyone because it doesn't have XO cognac and nor is it a sauce. It's a relish. But it is amazing with seafood!
Thai Prawn Glass Noodles

He preferred eating the filling with a spoon and simply biting off the wrapper. This, my friends, is … Continue reading Burmese popiah (fresh spring rolls)
Chinese egg noodle stir fry (lo mein)
Making an egg noodle stir fry is easier than you think. I find them easier than rice noodles befcause they are a little bit sturdier when frying so they don't end up into a blended mess as easily. My favourite egg noodle stir fry is saucy with a lot of crunchy vegetables. I prefer a … Continue reading Chinese egg noodle stir fry (lo mein)
Singapore style chilli swimmer crabs
Swimmer crabs were on sale for a price I could not refuse. The crabs were, however, quite small. My husband remarked that had they been harvested from Australia (instead of somewhere in Asia), they may even have been too small, legally. I actually didn't know what to make with these but I did want Singapore … Continue reading Singapore style chilli swimmer crabs
