Eurasian Cucumber Salad With Chilli Chuka
This is a Eurasian salad recipe featuring all the basic ingredients (hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, lettuce) and a nice chilli chuka dressing to eat the salad with. It’s even easier to prepare if you prepare the dressing in advance. You can also add more of the ingredients that you favour so it’s super flexible to make based on individual preferences.

Heart-Shaped Sultana Scones
A humble afternoon on the first day of March 2026. Let’s eat some scones and get lazy. These scones do not have to be perfect, just edible. Sweet. Buttery. Nice.
家常便饭 – 丝瓜蛋花汤 (Egg & Luffa Soup)
This soup, although commonly served in Chinese households, is very unique in its texture and technique. Firstly, it uses a very unique vegetable called luffa (or loofah), which looks like a huge cucumber, or a green coloured radish, but is very soft when sliced into. When cooked, it becomes very soft and sweet. It is also a nice substitute for bitter gourd in stir-fried dishes if you are not a fan of the bitter vegetable.
Yam Pastry（芋头酥）
I am so proud of myself for being able to successfully make and bake this traditional Chinese yam pastry. I’ve always been very curious about how it’s done – all the kneading, rolling out as well as all the preparations and care put into making it to create the beautiful lines alternating between white and purple and to get that perfect crisp. Now that I know how it’s done, now that I’ve done it myself, I do actually appreciate this pastry a lot more when I bite into it. It’s not too difficult to do, but it does take time and effort to do it right and neatly.
