Most time consuming thing I've made to date : burgers Which took me almost the whole day mostly because of the different things that went into the burger that required much frying, tossing, coating, sautee-ing. (read: greedy and wanted to put everything inside)  But it was s'good! Even if I do say so myself. What may surprise you is that the burger patty is one of the easiest things to make! Here's my recipe for the easiest (potentially yummiest) beef burger patty you will ever need to have...ever! In 3 simple steps! p.s. this is the basic recipe, you can add garlic, cheese, onions, etc as you please. Ingredients : Egg (1) Salt &Pepper (1/2 tsp)  Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce (2 tbsp) and of course, Ground beef (400 grams) - use the best beef you can find, really 1. Whisk egg, lea and perrin sauce, salt and pepper in large bowl. Add in bread crumbs and ground beef and mix well....with hands. You mix 'm and you mix em good. 2. Shape into patties, about 1/2 to ...

Salted egg chicken, how hard can it be?  That's how I convinced myself to make it hahah! Truth is, it's not.  To begin, and this is the hardest part, you need:  1. to know that you'll need to do deep frying 2. to realize that you'll need to wash your hair after  - even if you did wash it earlier today because you WILL smell like oil and chicken 3. be okay that there will be oil everywhere and be ready to scrub your counter and soak your pans 4. to get rid of the oil in a environmentally friendly way, there's this oil coagulator powder you can find in Daiso that turns hot oil solid so you can throw it away (not down the sink). Alternatively, to avoid 1-4, you can pan fry the chicken instead but it won't turn out as crispy la. For chicken batter, mix all to form paste: 2 tbsp cornflour 2 tbsp custard powder 1/4 cup flour 1/2 cup water To fry : 2 chicken breast, cut into cubes  I used the breasts, but I'd recommend the thigh, it's tender-er. 2 steamed salte...

....or is it zhu jiao chu? As everyone knows, I don't speak an ounce of Mandarin. So buying pork trotters was a bit of a challenge. There I was in the pork section of TTDI market, where I approached the butcher hesitantly: "Hi, uhm... Can I get the trotter?" "HA? What?"  lady butcher replies. "The front trotter?"  "What is that ah?" This is where I started a mini game of charades with the butcher lady, waving both my hands in the air in a "trotting" movement "Ohh! the hand ah?" "Oh..yes, the hands. I want to make Vinegar Pork, I use this part right?" "WHAT??" Between this and watching a pigs leg slapped onto the board in front of me and butchered in to pieces, it was almost a cultural experience for me. Especially since no one in my house 1. goes to the wet market to buy pork and 2. even eats pork trotters. But not bad hey? Mum : What is this? "Vinegar pork" "Oh, why did you make this? Yo...
