The Original French Cheese Soufflé

Cheese Souffle

Cheese Souffle 2

A soufflé is a French delicacy which can be whipped up with either a sweet or savoury flavour. The word ‘soufflé’ means ‘to blow up’ or to ‘puff up’ in French. In the process of making a soufflé, the egg whites and yolks are separated, with the whites whisked to form a soft peak meringue and then recombined with a flavoured yolk mixture. This combination is then baked till the cake batter rises and puffs up to create a very light and airy appetiser (savoury) or dessert (sweet).

家常便饭 - 马铃薯炒猪肉丝 (Potato & Pork Slices Stir-Fry)

Stir-fry Potato & Pork 2

Stir-fry Potato & Pork 3

This is a very common dish we find at the local economic rice stalls, be it at the hawker centers or foodcourts. We love it when the hawkers spoon lots of brown gravy from the tray onto our pile of rice. At home, we cook this quite often on weekends too as it is a really easy and hassle-free dish to cook. Hope you will love this dish as much as we do. Try it at home yourself; make sure to remember to add in plenty of water to make the to-die-for gravy!

家常便饭 - 清甜玉米菜丝汤 (Sweet Corn & Vegetable Soup)

Vegetable Soup

Vegetable Soup 2

I am not one of those who loves slurping up hot soups or broths for my meals. Soupy noodles, porridge, steamboats – these are the least of my favourite dishes, be it at home or when I eat out. It’s probably due to the humid and hot weather in Singapore that makes for such a preference in me.
