Cooked up tasty peppery Bak Ku Teh from scratch easily without any premix or 汤包 required. Recipe : 4 slabs of pork ribs 排骨 600ml water (+100ml for topping up if necessary) 清水 1 whole bulb of garlics 蒜蓉 12 pcs buttons + some mushroom water 罐头蘑菇+蘑菇谁 1 1/2 tbsp white peppercorns 白胡椒粒 3/4 tsp salt 海盐 1/2 tsp ground white pepper 白胡椒粉 (adjust according to preferences) Tips : 1) To blanch pork ribs : Add pork ribs to cold/tap water at the start and heat up the water till it boils can remove more impurities/oils from the ribs than when you add the pork ribs only after the water has boiled (Learnt this from a HK cooking show recently!). 2) Add the pork ribs to cold water after blanching can stop the cooking and also allow the impurities that are still on the meat to surface and float out. 3) Cool down the white peppercorns before placing them in soup stock bag, otherwise the bag will break.

Simple and yummy homecooked #mealforone served with plain porridge : 🥢 Fried batang fish steak 🥢 Braised potato slices with minced 🥢 Scrambled eggs with onions 今日简单美味的 #一人份餐 伴清粥 ： 🥢 香煎马鲛鱼扒 🥢 土豆焖肉碎 🥢 大葱煎蛋 Batang fish steak sourced from @9sseafood with dining ware from the Knit Collection by @luzernesg

Cravings for braised chicken with potatoes and carrots today. Especially good to soak the rice entirely in the braised sauce. 🙂 Featuring MOD series of dining ware from @luzernesg .

Going for another Thai today with the hot and spicy Seafood Tom Yam Soup with shrimps, batang fish slices, straw mushrooms, served with Jasmine rice and topped with a sunny side egg. Got quite a fair bit of "Blue Elephant" brand of cooking sets and pastes from Bangkok previously and exploring each and every of them now. The Tom Yam Soup cooking set comes with dried lime leaves, lemongrass and blue ginger slice that are used to cook the soup, whilst I enhanced it into a milky version by adding evaporated milk, seasoning it with sugar and fish sauce before finishing it off with lime juice and it was marvellous ! And the dish looks even more tantalising when plated on these beautiful dining ware from the Knit Collection by @luzernesg .

Cooking Seafood Pad Thai with my new Sodam Cookware set from @modori.sg ! 🤍Been contemplating to get the Sodam Cookware Set for the longest time ever since it was launched because of its sleek minimalist design and excellent space-saving capabilities. What's more, with their newly-in grilled pan and mini pot, I guess it's finally the right time to complete the collection now. 🤎The milky matt white natural ceramic exterior has an excellent non-stick coating that literally sees you getting the cooking done with minimal oil consumption which translate to more cost savings and health benefits in the long run. 💛What's more, it comes with a detachable pan/pot handle that works its versatility from stove to table also sees less washing to be done which meant lesser hassle and more time savings. And if the pan is pretty much grease-free, all it needs is a simple clean up with water itself and it's all good to go. 💯Other than the aesthically pleasing design that sits beautifully against the stovetop, the amount of space it took to nestle 1 grill pan, 1 frying pan, 1 deep pan and 2 cooking pots (5 in all) only take up a small fraction of the kitchen cabinet space which makes minimalism more realistic than ever. ❤Check out the latest post over on www.eatwhattonight.com for a full review along with the yumny Seafood Pad Thai recipe! #modori #modori_sg #sodamcookwareset #modorikitchen #ModoriMakeYourDreamKitchenAReality #buildingthedreamkitchenwithmodori
