Awesome Wiffy! Microwave recipes should be in my menu now. All the best for the next recipes! I’m sure everyone will love it :)
Hi hi… just curious… where can i get the bread bowls from? have been hunting for quite some time but no luck
Hi Zhixin, I bought it from The Soup Spoon in SG :)
Microwave is really convenient!
Congratulations on the new campaign! Your clam chowder looks fantastic.
Well done! Looking forward to more :)
AMAZING photos wiffy! Absolutely top notch and congratulations for 2 of your reviews already getting posted on Samsung’s site. Wishing you the best with your upcoming reviews. :)
Thanks for the great informartion about cooking with Microwave! I’m looking forward to more :)
I love soup…I’m staring at the clam chowder…
These look great. I love clam chowder but have never tried making it myself.
i really like both of them.. they make me so tempted to eat them :) haha.. ur photos are good..
Wiffy, you are making me thinking of buying microwave, so regret I gave it away :P
Ooh, the chowder looks so good! Yumm…
Congrats wiffy, for being invited to write microwave recipes for Samsung. You are doing a great job. I’m looking forward to new recipes in subsequent weeks. Well done! :)
Wiffy, you are really good….like damn damn good!!! The clam chowder looks like it is to die for and very very convenient….Thank you so much for the osmanthus flowers too…I have been very very busy getting sick and travelling and have not had much time but this one look too awesome and I need to leave a comment and let you know how amazing you are!
Thanks Quinn, I’m really touched by your support. Hope you are feeling now, take care!
Of course, I’d love to have that clam chowder! Now, I’ve got the cravings at 2 in the morning, haha. Only if I had the ingredients, hehe. Thanks for the wonderful post. Enjoy your weekend.
Really look good. Hard to imagine you can cook clam chowder vie the microwave.
Good guide on making food using a microwave. By starting with simple items like soups and salads, one would start to get used to the its convenience and expand the menu within time.
I am so impressed you made chicken in the microwave! You are so talented – mine has always come out inedible.
Looks totally delicious! And everything is prepared with a microwave.
Thanks a bunch for the much effort to come out with all these tempting recipes and writing for the campaign microsite “The Noob’s Guide to Microwave Cooking with Samsung“.
It’s so professionally presented that a noobies would not believe it that these yummy menus is deliciously prepared by a Noob too.
Always on the look out for new surprises and recipes from you to experiment it myself.
Congrats “Chef NoobCook”!
“Chef” is an embarrassing tag, I’m just a noob cook. But thanks for your encouragement :)
I love clam chowder but never thought to use the microwave to cook it! Congrats on authoring the recipes, sounds really cool :)
Yr caesar salad recipe came at the right time as I am trying to eat healthier by having more vege. Where can I buy anchovy fillet and is it necessary to include for the dressing? Can I replace parchment paper with baking sheet? Is MWO + Conv the same as the combination mode shown on my microwave oven?
Sorry for bombarding u with so many questions as I never cook using my microwave. Only use it to heat up food…. Congrats on being the spokeswoman for Samsung….
hi juhuacha, you can buy the anchovy fillets at NTUC finest, Cold Storage, Jasons etc. This is the one I got:http://www.johnwest.com.au/products/specialty/anchovies/anchovies-in-olive-oil-45g/ it’s a small box like the knorr chicken cube box size. It’s optional to add it, but if you don’t, you need to salt your dressing, because the anchovies are salty. I think you can use baking sheet. The MWO + Conv in the Samsung oven may not be the same as the combination mode of yours, but you can try it out. Happy cooking :)
Hey, congrats! The clam chowder soup looks especially tempting!!
Great microwave cooking guide and anything that makes life easier (especially cooking), I’m all for it. BTW the clam chowder looks really good.
Thanks everyone for the words of support, I really appreciate it :)
Awesome! Run to Samsung’s micro site now to read more :)
Congratulations to Sophia!
Nice looking dishes! And congrats to the winners!
Congrats to the winner !
I just learned how to make otak-otak too last few weeks. Otak-otak served with coconut rice is so tempting.
Congrats to the winner.
The Assam Fish and Otak-Otak are so tempting. *drooling all the way to the microsite*
I like this week’s Asian theme. Can’t believe these can be done using the microwave, esp the otak-otak. So yummy! :)
cant believe these dishes can be cooked via microwave!
this is incredible! i never thought microwave oven can do so much!
Hi Wiffy,
Love these dishes and the step by step cooking instructions you presented on the Samsung site. I am excited that it is possible to create these local dishes with a microwave oven. Bravo to you!
Thank you, wiffy and Samsung, for this fabulous blog and contest!
Thank you for the well wishes!
Congratulations again. Enjoy your oven :)
Your otak looks so good wiffy! Restaurant quality! Actually better!

Microwave cooking has probably never been mnore delicious! Especially love the luo han zai :)
Me too love the lou han zhai! I can eat it just like that!

I can’t believe microwave can cook these dishes! keep these recipes coming!
I love lou han zai!! My grandma makes it every month, ahhhhh I miss home.
I like making Buddist Delight as well, but mine is not always a vegetarian version due to the type of oyster sauce : ).
Luo Han Zhai is always my favorite. Usually mum cook this on 1st day of CNY. :)
The Vegetarian Pesto Pizza sounds (and looks) delicious!
I like how you showcase different cusine using the microwave! I like the idea of using pesto in pizzas! and the healthy luo han zhai!
Your creations look delicious Wiffy! I am loving your pesto pizza!
The luo han zhai looks really appetizing..with rice…oh just heavenly

Let me see….how long haven’t I had “luo han zhan”? I guess at least 10 years…I miss it a lot.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Angie
Both look really yummy. Heading over to see the recipes now :).
Your pesto pizza looks great! Love the veggies on it.
Both look great. Pretty cool making these with a microwave!
Thanks everyone for your kind words and support :)
I just love your roasted chicken! They look so juicy and tender! Awesome!
The roast chicken was made in the microwave?? Awesome!
The skin of the roast chicken looks so good!
You had me at “pumpkin risotto.” What a fabulous way to use the microwave. Mm mm good.
I love the roast chicken! I must try it in the microwave. Thanks!
Those were cooked with microwave? Awesome! I have to try the recipes :)
NC, just the eye-popping color of each component is making me hungry!
I’m certain this is as delicious as it looks.
As always, beautifully-arranged, mouthwatering dishes!
I’ve never had roasted chicken in the microwave before. I’ll have to give it a try.
I love the roast chicken, making me drooling!
Both dishes look great! Pumpkin risotto sounds great for fall.
Yeah, looks awesome! Looks like a lot of appliances can be put to good use, unexpectedly :)
Love the look of the chicken and risotto! A good combo for a meal! I love cooking in a microwave oven but I only use it for certain dishes.
I’m truly amazed all this came out of the microwave. You are so clever! And that risotto looks glorious. I lurve pumpkin risotto…
Wow I can’t believe you used the microwave for these! They look so tasty hehe
How about a paella dish using microwave? :) I’ve been craving for it since I tasted the seafood one (cooked in a huge paella pan) at the Farmer’s Market (Loewen Garden, Singapore)
Hi Min, I have already completed the microwave cooking recipes. No paella, but there will be some western desserts for the last update :)
Thank you everyone for your kind words! :)
Needless to say, NC, you’ve taken microwave cooking to a whole—and deliciously new— level!
Wah, the steaming tray for the microwave is great!
I am always for steamed cuisine. In fact, I made dinner with all steamed dishes last night! The dumplings made it! Yay!
I’m a big fan of steamed cupcakes. Yours look great and win my heart. :)
I never had a steamed cupcake and am amazed you can do that with a microwave! It looks so perfect and so scrumptious!
I totally agree with Marysol’s comment about taking microwave cooking to a new level! You’re so creative with your cooking and it shows.
The dumplings are so cute, they’re like mini purses. ^-^ And the steamed muffins look so soft, I would be tempted to poke a hole in the middle with my finger teeheehee!
I’ve never ever steamed a cake in my microwave. The only thing I have ever done in it is to reheat up food. Haha … but this looks really good and lesss washing up too with the microwave.
The steamed pandan cake is done so well!
hello there!
what an amazing job! like you cooking and webiste very much! what is sponge gel? is it a must in this recipe? as im not too sure whether i can find it in melbourne.
Thanks kindly
Thanks! It is a stabliser and gives a more “airy” texture to the cupcake. If I’m not wrong, it’s more commonly known as ovalette in Australia. You can find it at the baking section of supermarkets.
Hello again
Thanks for the reply! we are all blessed with ur talented cooking and the generosity of sharing the recipes! its a good job and wish you can keep up to it!
Thanks kindly
Thanks everyone for your compliments and support, I really appreciate it :)
Can’t believe you can make all these versatile goodies in the microwave. You’re really opening my eyes!
Hi Wiffy
I would love to try out your nasi lemak recipe using the microwave oven. But I am not sure if I’ve interpreted the measurements as stated in your recipe correctly. This is with reference to the water – coconut milk ratio. Say for example, for 1 cup rice, I need 1.5 cups water and 3 cups coconut milk?!?! This seems like a lot of liquid. Also, did you use packet coconut milk or you make it from scratch?
“Add in 1 part of the required amount of water, plus 2 parts coconut milk into the cooker.”
Hi there, what I meant by the instructions above was, if the recipe calls for 1 cup water, use 1 part (i.e. 1/3 cup) water, and 2 parts (i.e. 2/3 cup) coconut milk. I use those tetra pak coconut milk, but if you can make it from scratch it’s even better. Hope this helps :)
Hi wiffy
Thanks for the advice. I will give it a try one of these days. By the way, I tried some of your recipes like easy steamed fish and fried bee hoon with stewed pork. They turned out rather well. Looking forward to more postings of your recipes. Keep up the fantastic work!
Lovely clean pics as always, Wiffy!
Love Creme Brulee! The last? Oh I hope you can do more, I love it all … excellent job Wiffy :)
Lovely pictures with textures that make me want to try this beautiful recipe!
Wow, how amazing what a microwave can do!
Thanks for the recipe, they are awesome! :)
Wow for this creme brulee recipe, I might actually consider buying a microwave!
Thanks everyone :)
Who woulda thunk you could make creme brulee in a microwave? This is blowing my mind. Both look very delicious.
