Tomyum Creamy Pasta

Last Friday I was craving some tomyum creamy pasta from Pastamania. I thought I'd have that for my me time lunch. But. I got turned off at the queue with lots of students. Urgh. How much pocket money do these kids get?!

So I went NTUC instead and got ingredients for Sunday's experiment meal.

I couldn't find much tomyum pastes, which I thought was weird, so I settled for NTUC brand paste. Didn't get any seafood either cos I don't fancy seafood that much. The darling daughter had 3 hours nap, which left me with much time to iron clothes, sweep the floor, cook the pasta sauce and marinate chicken breasts to be eaten with the pasta (I didn't put meat into the sauce).

I cooked for dinner for myself and Husband, with agarations as usual since there's no recipe per se.

Cooking the veges first


Tomyum Creamy Pasta

1 onion, sliced
2 lemongrass, bruised
3 tbsp NTUC tomyum paste (2 for less spicy)
100ml cooking cream
100ml milk
(no need salt!)

  1. Heat a pot and coat lightly with oil. 
  2. Fry the lemongrass until fragrant, then add in onions and fry until fragrant.
  3. Add in the vegetables to cook through. I used leftover stuff like broccoli, baby corn, and I added mushrooms and tomatoes. 
  4. Add a little water and close with lid to steam cook stuff like broccoli and baby corn.
  5. Add in the tomyum paste and cook off the water added earlier.
  6. Once all veges are cooked, add the cream and milk and mix well until incorporated.
  7. Serve with pasta and chicken.
I still have some tomyum paste left, can do more in the future! Maybe can use less cream more milk. Husband said it's good. Yay! That's big for someone who usually cannot appreciate my experiments hahaha.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone.

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
