A new toy - Philips Noodle maker & Zha Jiang Mian [醡酱面]

Yes! My new toy from my hubby! A Philips noodle maker. Impressed by the new machine that can make springy & chewy fresh noodles in just 10mins with no dough wastage! The best part is you just need plain flour, egg & water. No preservative at all. ️ it to the max!  Don't worry about the washing, it is so easy to clean up after your noodle making. 
做面成功!

A bowl of Fried Rice

My mum's fried rice is well liked among us and her grandchildren. 姜还是老的辣! She told me cooking a bowl of nice fried rice, the rice cannot be too soggy & the wok must be very hot during the stir frying. Tonight, I adopted her method! Yes, I can say it really taste so much nicer than my normal fried rice. However, remember to keep frying and beware of the HOT wok.
Give it a try. U can whip out a nice bowl of fried rice at home too within 10mins (exclude the cooking of rice & preparation).
Here come my Colorful salmon fried rice!
大家吃饭咯!

Cheesy Macaroni with corn & shrimps

When u are running out of idea and yet you want to fill up the tummies at home. Cheese & Macaroni came into my mind. Best combination of the 2 items which always available in my pantry. In this recipe, I don't use heavy cream. I replaced it with milk instead to make it a healthier dish and it is yummy!
