I love caramel, way more than chocolate or lollies. But at the end of the day, it is still sugar, so unless I have trained legs or feel like my blood sugar is low, I try not to eat it too often. But what if […]

Egg cottage cheese salad toastie
If you love eggs, you’ll love this recipe. Even if you don’t love eggs, you’ll still love this, because Lee doesn’t like anything too “eggy” but he loved this. Egg and mayonnaise is such a popular combo, especially in Korea, and I love it too. […]
Super easy Mango Prawn Chilli summer salad
This is a recipe I made at Lee’s parents’ house before we moved into our current place. Since we were sharing the kitchen, I didn’t feel comfortable making complicated meals, so I usually kept things simple. But you know you can still make nice and […]
High protein, low fat : “FAKE” Siu mai recipe
This is the final recipe that Lee perfected. We tested it multiple times to get it as close as possible to the authentic siu mai flavour, but it was actually pretty challenging while keeping it high in protein. We found that imitation crab meat (surimi) […]

Jjolmyeon isn’t as globally popular as many other Korean dishes, but it’s one of the most loved bun-sik foods in Korea — alongside tteokbokki, gimbap, odeng (fish cake), and ramyeon. “Jjolmyeon” literally means chewy noodles, and that iconic texture is what makes the dish so […]
North Korean style chicken Rice
This North Korean–style steamed chicken recipe kept showing up on my algorithm for a while, so of course—I had to make it. (I don’t even know if the average North Korean citizen can afford chicken though) The original recipe uses chicken Maryland, which I’m sure […]
Low cal Hearty Chicken Corn soup
Chicken and corn are a combination you simply can’t resist. Together, they make the soup incredibly hearty and comforting. Deboning cooked chicken drumsticks does take a bit of effort, but for soup, I can’t give up the deep umami flavour that the bones create. Instead […]
