Sunday dinners were a pretty big thing in the Lau family home. Lunch was already a quite the ordeal for my grandparents who would be making homemade dumplings from scratch – mincing up shrimp, rolling out dumplings wrappers to feed my family, my cousins and aunts and uncles. Dinner was not much simpler. It was…
Chinese Chicken and Black Fungus (No Oil)
10 min Black Sesame Soup (No Rice 芝麻糊)
No matter how full we were, there was always room for dessert. We would eagerly wait as the waiter walked over to collect our empty plates and ask what we wanted for dessert – green bean soup, red bean soup, mixed beans soup? After a delicious meal of braised tofu, stirfried vegetables with salted egg, roasted…
10 min Stovetop Granola (Oil-Free) + Airfryer Version
Clink clink clink. The sound rings clear as the granola spills into the bowl. Pour some almond or soy milk over and maybe some extra berries or banana – and YUM. I made sure to to snap a few pics on my iPhone before letting my fiance down the cup of granola and milk! Spending a…
Molten Lava Cakes – made with beets! (GF, Vegan)
The moment of truth. You hold your breathe. Timidly and cautiously you push your silver spoon through the center. As you reach the bottom, you slowly feel it out and open up hoping to see a stream of melted thick chocolate ooze out. Yes that’s when you know you have a proper chocolate molten lava…
The Best Eggplant Lasagna (Vegan + Low Carb)
Lasagna has always been a staple “treat” in the Lau household. We had a signature “veggie” lasagna that was layered with lasagna sheets, roasted eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms, cheese and marinara sauce. It was phenomenal. I remember looking forward to those nights when we had family gatherings or guests over. Although lasagna can sometimes be…

Authentic Singaporean Chicken Satay (Gluten Free, Oil-Free)
It seem so long since I was in Singapore. The last time we were there, I was visiting my fiancé’s family and Zoe was visiting her husband’s family. Thinking about it now, I really do miss going on holiday. The best part of traveling isn’t about sight-seeing or going on a plane, but the wonder…
Vegan Pandan Sorbet (With Tofu)
This week at work we had a discussion about what was one thing we wanted to do next year once we reach somewhat of a post-pandemic normal. The unanimous answer to that question was: “Travel”. After a delicious Saturday dinner at Korean restaurant downtown, my fiancé and I spent an hour in the large asian…
Chocolate Zucchini Oatmeal
Waking up to the chilly breeze and a dark sky reminds me of the many early mornings back in high school when I would be up by 5:30 to study or to head to church for our seminary class. Although I don’t miss those days, but the memories of being at home makes me homesick….
