Onde onde

First made onde onde in secondary school HomeScience class. It was fun. Remembered using sweet potato and pandan juice to color the mashed sweet potato green.
Now, we have purple sweet potato, so sweet that you don't need to add sugar to the mash. The important part is the gula melaka in the centre of the each onde onde. This 'surprise' should be a little generous.

23 Oct 2016 picked up some Vietnam sweet potato from NTUC Supermarket and bought the fresh grated coconut from the wet market. All set ...

Onde onde is ok in the fridge for about 2 days, after which the gula melaka will start to get 'wet'.


Market vendor gave me all the remaining coconut as it was close to noon already

Nice snack





5 Nov 2016 made another batch of onde onde for a dinner party

Spicy Sour Mustard Green Stew (Tua Chai / Choy Keok / Chai Boey)

The elusive vegetable - Mustard Green - only found in the fresh markets (in Singapore), rarely in the supermarkets. There are quite a few write-ups about this post-Chinese-New-Year brilliant recipe to use up leftover meats. Leftover as in roast meats and pig trotter stewed meats that no one wants to eat anymore after over-indulging on rich dishes for several days. So, a genius person of olden days made a stew of these meats with assam (tamarind), dried chillies and mustard green vegetable to absord all the flavour. https://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/chai-boey-mustard-greens-stew/ https://www.rotinrice.com/chop-suey-soup-chai-boey/ https://beyondnorm.com/2017/03/19/choy-keok-recipe/ http://www.msyummylicious.asia/2016/02/hot-and-sour-chinese-mustard-vegetable.html I wanted to make this dish but had no 'leftover meats'. So, I started to collect my meats from the supermarket best buys' section for roast spring chicken and pork. I ate a little of the fresh roa...

Homemade Vinegar Chilli Sauce (cili cuka)

Homemade chilli sauce. Simple homemade chilli sauce, similar to the chilli sauce served with chicken rice. For blending: Red chillies - 10-15 Garlic - 5-7 cloves Ginger - 2inch For mixing: Vinegar - 50ml to start with, the chilli sauce should not be too watery, the sour, tangy taste should be there Sugar - 1.5-2 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp Unfortunately, in true homemade style, I learnt to make this from my mum without measurements. Just a sense of proportion that there should be more chilli than garlic and less of ginger. Of course, the vinegar, sugar and salt are similarly adjusted to taste. Too spicy - add salt, sugar. Too bland - add salt, vinegar. Just mixing all these ingredients together is sufficient, no cooking is required. The vinegar, sugar and salt are preservatives. But I always make sure the chillies, garlic and ginger are washed and dried before I blend them. Also, discard some chilli seeds, otherwise, it will be very spicy. For slow consumption, I keep the bott...
