Fresh Fruits Crumble – an absolutely genius recipe to enjoy the heavenly seasonal fruits.
Fresh fruits platter for dessert. That’s what most Chinese community including myself grew up with. Easy, light, sweet and yummy… In my humble opinion, a fresh fruits platter makes a great dessert or snack.

Mak Kimchi (Quick Cabbage Kimchi) – the spicy addictive Korean dish that you must absolutely try, with a dose of natural probiotics

You can fill them with anything you want and they make great packed lunch, also a portable snack. Pack them up in a cooler and go on a picnic! Who could resist a sushi burger? Continue Reading →
