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...

Culinary | Hungry Post!

Recently, I have got no mood to maintain this blog. Lots of draft. Probably I should just post more photos than telling grandmother's story. Let's start.


BAKING

One day, I tried baking this choc chips but failed. Either I didn't mix well or I didn't handle the oven well. Boo... what on earth are those charred chips? 





COOKING


Obvious about what I'm gonna cook right? Yes... Laksa on a weekend despite the terrible weather. 


Here is a pot of Laksa. Lots of ingredients right? So love my Happy Call pot. Can contain just for 2 of us to last at least lunch and dinner. Bravo.


COOKING


One dinner on an evening of weekday. I totally run out of idea what to have for dinner. This shall solve it perfectly.


COOKING


Guess what I'm cooking? Answer is.................................................................... Hokkien Mee. I posted on FB Group and was asked for the recipe. But actually we based on our impression of Hokkien Mee to whip up the dish. Others might use prawns heads to boil the soup but what we did was you dry small shrimps to do the soup (for cooking). 


So tasty but then 2 things to improve: more moist and also not to use frozen squids. Overall taste was BEST!


BAKING

Used the pre-mix my SIL gave it to me but still, after many attempts in adjusting the temp, it failed. She encountered such problem too with this premix but no problem for others. 



Realize many poke holes right? Was testing if it is properly baked. But only the outer part is baked but not in the middle. Boo...


COOKING

One weekend dinner. There are veggie, soup and meat. 



Documented again my cooking + 30% of my hub's cooking. Basically cooking at home during weekend is love. Enough of takeaway food for 5 days straight. Sometimes I do cook my own dinner on weekdays if I feel like it. My own dinner. Not including the hub's dinner. His is mainly takeaway. 

Stay tune for updates. Probably soon...
