13 Festive Chinese Recipes For the Occasion

Had some leftover fish stock from the other day, so just nice to use it up for a Fuzhou Fishballs Mee Tai Bak Soup today. Simply dilute the fish soup with a little water and season it with 天津冬菜, shallot oil, light soya sauce, pepper, Chinese cooking wine and a little seasoning powder. Simple and healthy #onepotmeal #comfortfood 🤤🤤

Cooked Thai Red Curry today ! Had it prepped up in a more creamy way by reducing the water to coconut milk ratio, moderate the taste with fish sauce and sugar and it was really good ! Only used boneless chicken and potatoes for the curry before finishing off with extra herb flavours from Thai basil leaves at the end. 🤤

🍔Tried out these “McDonalds” taste-alike chicken burger patties and nuggets from @newmultisg today. 🍗The Spicy Boneless Chicken Thigh is practically a replica of the “McSpicy” with the Chicken Nuggets trailing right behind. The Original Chicken Patty also has a close resemblance to the “McMuffin” sausage patty though I think the “McSpicy alike still wins all hands down. 🎉Feel free to use promo code “eatwhattonight5” to enjoy 5% discount off total bill on www.newmultifood.com (except promotional items) with a $8 delivery fee and free delivery for orders above $65, valid till 31st Dec 2023.
