Lemon & Lime Butter Chicken Gold from Flora

Markettiers and Flora has challenged a few bloggers to use Gold from Flora to create our own 5pm family mealtime recipe with less than 10 ingredients and for a budget of £10 or less. The recipes I create will be tested by the Unilever kitchen and will be featured with nutritional information on the Gold from Flora website.  A winning recipe will win an additional prize of a picnic hamper.

BBQ Pork Slice (Bak Kwa)

Earlier this year, I wrote about Singapore BBQ Pork Slice which are available all year round and they are like pork jerky except that it has been barbecued.  It’s one of my favourite snacks.  Whenever I am in Singapore, I will buy at least 200g each time and finish it in no time!  They are sweet, chewy, meaty and delicious.  They are ready to be eaten and can be kept for a couple of days.  They are best consumed at room temperature rather than cold.

How to make Chinese New Year Nian Gao

Earlier this month, I wrote about different types of Chinese New Year goodies including Nian Gao!  Nian Gao is always one of my favourite foods during Chinese New Year. So this year I decided to make my own. After much research from various sites, I decided to use this recipe from my friend.

Oriental Twist Chicken with Crunchy Crumb and McCain French Fries

We all love a Saturday lie-in and a bit of family time together!  Unfortunately this morning, both kids decided that today was not a day for lie-ins and woke us up by jumping on us in bed!  We managed to fight off this onslaught momentarily but the final straw came when the postman knocked on the door so we all got up.

Festive Food and Drink Round Up

Our fabulous Cotton On’s blogger Zoe Lester very kindly organised us huge goody bags! To carry all the goodies, we’re thankfully to JoJoMaman Bebe who sponsored us each a navy JoJo Buggy Bag valued at £9 RRP. This is definitely a great value practical bag. It can be worn over the shoulder or clipped onto the handles of a buggy. It is very big (H36 x W51 x D11cm) and can fill a lot of useful stuff so is perfect for shopping. I have not used it on a buggy as Ms C is able to walk everywhere now.  But I imagine it would be very handy for a picnic too!  The large strap is quite long and the design is unisex which can be also carried by men!

Chicken Pasta Bake and Tom Yum Soup

It is getting so cold and windy!  As you may know, I come from a hot country without the usual four seasons, so when the winter turns cold, I like to cook spicy Asian food to keep me warm!  My husband and the children are not used to eating very spicy food so sometimes I end up cooking two to three different meals to suit the whole family!

I always love Thai food as they can be very spicy! They are best to eat after coming back home from the cold and harsh weather as they give you a fantastic endorphins rush! I choose to cook Thai Tom Yum Soup.

Prawn Crackers: To fry or to buy?

Each time you go to buy a Chinese takeaway, are you tempted to buy a bag of prawn crackers?  Sometimes in Chinese restaurants, they may serve you a basket of prawn crackers too. My children love it and we always have to stop them eating too many in case it spoils their dinner! In fact, prawn crackers are the simplest snack to cook! I always get the them from a Chinese supermarket and they cost less than £2. Uncooked, they are a small solid round shape.
