Hawaiian Pita Pizza

Hawaiian pizza is one of the most popular pizza flavours around. After all, what’s not to like about the fail-safe combination of ham and pineapples? Using the shortcut method of using pita bread as pizza crust & canned pineapples, this popular pizza delight can be whipped up in 15 minutes: 5 minutes to prepare & assemble, and 10 minutes to bake. For more information about pita pizzas, check out my detailed write-up here.

Chunky Soup with Puff Pastry
Chunky Soup with “Puff Pastry Hat” (Cheater’s Edition)

This is how I “dress up” a can of soup to make it taste yummier and look more gourmet. With just a can of chunky soup, puff pastry and an oven, this cute looking soup bowl with a “puff pastry top hat” can be served effortlessly. As you dig into the soup, the puff pastry will sink into the soup making it delightfully soggy. It is a fun way to enjoy an otherwise boring can of soup. Because canned soup was used here, the preparation time is only about 15 minutes.

Insanely Hot Chilli Padi Dip

Insanely Hot Chilli Padi Dip

February 28, 2010

This chilli sauce is so hot that it is almost mindless – even though my nose was running and my eyes were tearing from dipping my foods in it (not a pretty sight), I still persisted because it is so shiok. I love to make this easy chilli dip for steamboat, specifically for dipping shabu shabu meat slices.

Minimalist Roast Chicken

Minimalist Roast Chicken

February 24, 2010

I always thought that it must be really difficult to roast a whole bird. After I tried it out, I realised that on the contrary of being difficult, roasting chicken must be one of the easiest foods to cook. This is a good meal to impress your folks because it looks more difficult than it actually is to prepare ;)
