Recipes with seafood
The first time I tried this Thai prawn glass noodles dish was just earlier this year when we went to Thailand. It was our first overseas trip post-Covid and one of my brothers took us out to a famous seafood restaurant, Somboon Seafood. Such was its popularity that it's actually a chain restaurant so there … Continue reading Thai Prawn Glass Noodles
Black pepper crab is traditionally fried before being tossed in this wonderfully fragrant sauce. As much as it's still absolutely delicious, I don't like how oily it makes the dish overall. I prefer it to have a similar sauciness to a sweet chilli crab dish instead of this dry, oily concoction. Maybe not as drowning … Continue reading Steamed black pepper crab
My mum used to make this basic popiah quite often because it was one of my dad's favourite dishes. The irony was that although he loved this dish the most, he was also the worst at wrapping. 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)
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)
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
You can make parmesan crusted fish with almost any type of fish. I prefer it on a white fish, that are usually more mild in taste allowing the parmesan crumb to do the heavy lifting. I used basa for this one because we had some in the freezer, which I'm busily tryingto empty because of … Continue reading Parmesan crusted fish
This clams recipe is very quick to make and is so full of flavour that it is perfect with rice. Cambodian food always packs a big flavour punch and this 'cha leah' is no different. My husband and I had something similar in Siem Reap. I say it's similar, but not quite the same as … Continue reading Cambodian stir fried clams recipe (Cha Leah)
This fish taco recipe has a bit of a kick to it, just as a word of warning. You can reduce the cayenne pepper and hot sauce if you want something milder. The calorie count is on the generous side as it assumes you use up all the sauce and toppings, which you won't. Tacos … Continue reading Fish Taco Recipe
This Mohinga recipe is a cheat's version that uses canned fish to get the same outcome as the traditional way of cooking, deboning and flaking the fish manually. For those that don't know, mohinga is a Burmese fish noodle soup that is often eaten for breakfast - or anytime really. It's one of my favourite … Continue reading Cheat’s Mohinga (Burmese Fish Noodle Soup)
