First, boil stock ( I used chicken soup left before) in a deep pot.

When the soup boils, add meatballs in. Boil with low or medium heat for around 20 mins. Then add in cabbage and boil for another 10 mins. Season with some salt and serve.

Baked Half Salmon Fish Head 

This dish may look a bit scary, but it’s very delicious and easy.

First, sprinkle salt and black pepper over both sides of fish head ( I just used half of fish head). Then let it rest for around 30 mins.

Preheat oven to 160 degree C.

Bake for 15 mins. After that, turn to 200 degree C and bake for another 10 mins. If you want the fish skin to be more crunchy, you can prolong the baking time.


Serve with several lemon slices.

The best part is fish skin. It’s very crunchy. You can hear its cracking in your mouth. And the meat is very tender. My husband was deeply amazed.

2. Dust crab pieces with salt and cornstarch.

3. Heat some oil in the pan. Shallow fry the crab till about half-cooked.

4. Dish crab out. Leave a little oil in the pan. Heat again. Sauce chopped garlic, chili and curry leaves ( I didn’t have curry leaves, so I just added some chopped spring onion).

Easy & Yummy Quail Egg

First, boil quail eggs in boiling water for 5 mins. 

Then take them out and soak in cold water.

After they are completely cool, Gently remove the shell. 

Put quail eggs in the plate. Next step is to prepare sauce.

Heat pan on stove. Add in a little tsp oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar and water. Keep stirring till sauce becomes very condensed. You can taste the sauce before serving. If it’s salty, add a little more sugar. 

Pour the sauce over quail eggs.


It just became one of my husband’s favorite dishes.

1. Clean prawns and marinate with some salt and cooking wine for around 10 mins.

Stir Fry Pork With Cauliflowers 


I like this dish very much. There are usually two kinds of cauliflower. One is the type having long stem, and the other’s stem is short. I prefer the first type. It tastes better. And it’s ideal to be stir fried.

1. Heat a little oil in the pan. Put in pork slices. Stir fry till a bit golden brown. Then take pork out.

2. Leave the oil in the pan. Heat it again. Add in a little chopped garlic and ginger. Stir fry a bit.

3. Add in cauliflower (torn into small parts already). Stir fry till the edge of cauliflower becomes a bit golden brown.

4. Put pork slices back in the pan. Stir fry with cauliflower evenly.

5. Add in chopped red chili and 1 tsp of light soy sauce. Stir fry evenly.

6. Because my cauliflower pieces were kind of big, so I added 2 tsp water, turned to medium heat. And covered the pan with lid for 2-3 mins. 

7. Remove the lid. Turn to high height. Sprinkle some salt and stir fry evenly.
