The Secret to Perfect Homecooked Fried Rice + My Husband's Childhood Recipes

If there is one ultimate comfort food that instantly feels like home, it has to be a steaming plate of fried rice. But if you ask three different people how they cook it, you’ll probably get three completely different answers! In our household, fried rice isn't just a quick way to clear out the fridge, it's a trip down memory lane. Recently, my husband took over the wok to recreate two nostalgic fried rice recipes he grew up eating as a youngster, alongside our go-to classic version. Watching him cook reminded me that the best meals don’t require fancy ingredients; they just require a few time-tested techniques. Whether you're craving a rich, glossy Kicap Manis version or a classic shrimp stir-fry, here are the absolute must-do steps and golden rules from our kitchen to yours to ensure your fried rice turns out perfectly separate, fluffy, and packed with flavor every single time! 3 Different Recipes, 3 Different Colours of Fried Rice Master Tip #1: The Fried Rice Foundation...

Eventful Week

Hi... I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus. Was so busy last week with Betrothal day on Tues, bed installation on Thurs and moving-in + steamboat lunch + advance Mother's Day celebration on Sat. Tell me. Where got mood to blog right? So now with bits of time, let me update a bit. If not, kiss goodbye to my dear readers.

6 May 2014 - Betrothal Day


Prepared this for my mother-in-law which supposed to give after the Betrothal Day. I don't know but I find that the lady's side is always on the losing end because we prepared lots more than the guy's side. WTF! Nvm. Just a small amount to symbolize this occasion. Whatever.



The return-gifts to the guy's side. Prep all by my mum. Hehehe... My oranges are bigger than those from the guy's side. Sweeter too. 



And so he arrived 9+ near 10 in the morning with all these stuff.



The wedding cakes from Gin Thye Cake Maker is awesome. No coarse texture which really makes you feel so dry. This is good. With decades of experience in cake making, I think it is a good choice for couples to order wedding cakes. 


So this is the buffet I ordered from Neo Garden. Awesome food. I made the right choice from their menu.


The pineapple rice is fantastic and all of us are praising it. Hot weather so I didn't really had much plus so many people at my house.


Sorry for taking the peekture half way through. Too busy. Plus the food is fast selling yo.

10 May 2014 - Move-in + Steamboat lunch + Advance Mother's Day

入宅


So I planned this before hand that both side of our family to gather at our new house for lunch. A celebratory day that I planned. Success! Plus fake bouquet of cheap pretty flowers for 3 mothers: my mom, my mother-in-law and sis-in-law. Nv take peektures. Totally forgotten. Anyway, everyone was happy and enjoy that day. Now is the last stop: our wedding on 18 May. Finally. Everything is done. I just can't wait. So tiring from all the plannings. Mostly me. My hub? Mostly I plan n he do. Okay lah. He mostly do the house thingy like repair and etc. I contribute quite a lot though. Nt bad. He cannot say I do nothing. Slap him then he know.

K. Shall update again. Heading off for waxing appointment. Bye!
