Hokkien Prawn Mee

What to cook for Saturday lunch ??? Here's another 1 dish meal from Fong's Kitchen Journal.

Popiah Party

I bought a food processor for myself as a birthday present. Its sooooo good as it can knead, blend and even whipped !

Since then, I've been using this more then my KA mixer.

It takes less then 5 mins to shred 2 turnips and 2 carrots. I fried individually and use a rice cooker to simmer the vegetables.

Ayam Sioh

This recipe is super healthy, no oil, and lots of garlic and coriander powder. Its also easy to prepare. Recipe from Generation to Generation by PLMC

This is one of our family favourites - Grilled Chicken Wings. It taste exactly like the one sold outside.

Ingredients are simple dark soya sauce, 2 tsp ground white pepper, 2 tsp suger, 1 tbsp taucheo, garlic and shallots. Season the 10 chicken wings and grill or roast at 240C for 20 minutes till golden brown. Recipes from Generations to Generations published by Paya Lebar Methodist Church

Hakka Abacus

I love to eat Hakka Abacus ever since I tried one from my inlaw's neighbour. So everytime if there's any hawker selling this, I'll surely buy but its not as good as theirs.
This is the first time I'm making this after referrring to alot of recipes shared by others.
As I've left with alot of purple sweet potatoes from the making of Ang Ku Kueh, I used sweet potatoes instead of yam.
I dont know is it becos of that, my abacus tasted like rubber. That's what my children claimed. I too find its abit hard but thankfully the taste is there.
So if I'm gona make this again, I will use yam.

Herbal Jelly (Gua Ling Gao)

I chanced upon this packet of jelly powder from Malaysia.
Its RM20 for 5 packets. It taste the same as the one we ate at
the Chinese restaurant. It hardens easily so my last portion
I pour it in a large mould. Add honey before serving. My children loves it !

Pulot Serikaya

I've been keeping this recipe for many years but recently I plucked up the courage to try as I've left with alot of glutinous rice.
No regrets, according my sister, in terms of presentation and taste they are GREAT !
I dont used colourings for this too. The green colours are from my 6 stalks of pandan leaves blended together with the coconut.
Its easy to make.

Purple Ang Ku Kueh

I've been hunting for a purple sweet potato and finally managed to get them at Punggol Sheng Siong. The colours were rich and no colourings are added. It gives me a sense of satisfactions whenever I make this.
