Stir-Fried Luncheon Meat Recipe: Korean Style

Luncheon meat cubes stir-fried with zucchini, soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, ginger, garlic, black sesame seeds, and spring onions.
Are you a fan of luncheon meat? Then this recipe is for you! Even if you're not, why not give it a shot? Before diving into the recipe, let's clear up the difference between Spam and luncheon meat.

Spam is a specific brand of canned, cooked pork, while luncheon meat is a more generic term for similar products that come in various types, including pork (PORK CHOP RECIPE), chicken, beef, or turkey. Though some criticize luncheon meat for being unhealthy, there are now higher-quality options available.

Soto Ayam/Malaysian Chicken Noodle Soup

Broth made from chicken bones, herbs, & spices, ladled over blanched rice noodles, garnished with spring onions, coriander leaves, red chilies & crispy shallots.
The best food for rainy, chilly weather is undoubtedly comfort food. For me, comfort food means a hearty bowl of noodle soup - a wholesome, satisfying meal. Over time, I’ve made various types of chicken noodle soup, but this time I chose to prepare Soto Ayam, a Malay Malaysian Chicken Noodle Soup (VEGETABLE STEW/MASAK LODEH PUTIH)

A Day Trip To Sekinchan, Selangor

Similar to Pulau Ketam (WHAT TO DO IN PULAU KETAM - PART 2), Sekinchan is another gem that leaves those who visit it singing its praises. Sekinchan is often touted as a must-visit destination, and if you haven't experienced it, it's like missing out on a significant chapter of life. This, ladies and gentlemen, sparked my curiosity to uncover the allure of Sekinchan.

Crispy Potato Cutlet Recipe: Aloo Tikki

10 medium-sized, crispy on the outside and soft inside, with the aroma of cumin seeds and coriander leaves.
One thing I've learned about cooking is that simplicity and minimal ingredients go a long way. In today's fast-paced world, a well-stocked pantry can make cooking dishes like crispy potato cutlets, or aloo tikki, a breeze. While the potatoes simmer, gather the rest of the ingredients. Once mashed, simply combine everything, shape into balls, flatten, and fry until golden.

Eye Care Product: Simple Water Boost Hydrating Eye Gel

Outer cardboard slim packaging with a light blue and white color theme for an eye gel.
Taking care of your eyes isn’t just important; it’s essential. Eye care has no age limit - it’s never too early or too late to start (SIMPLE ANTI-AGING TIPS). Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, paying attention to the delicate skin around your eyes can make a difference. When it comes to eye care products, you’ll typically choose between an eye cream or an eye gel. Personally, I’ve grown to favor eye gels over the years.

Easy Instant Bak Kut Teh Recipe

A bowl of soup made with pork belly, Chinese herbs, soy sauce, garlic, and water, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
Bak Kut Teh - some call it pork ribs soup, others refer to it as pork bone tea, and for people like Ms. Nava, it's Chinese Herbal Pork Soup (VEGETARIAN BAK KUT TEH RECIPE). Making bak kut teh at home, especially the easy instant version, is quite different from the ones served in Chinese restaurants or stalls. They often have secret ingredients that elevate the flavor, and they cook it for hours using large pork chunks.

At home, we typically slice the pork into smaller pieces, and you can choose your preferred pork cut. Personally, I love pork belly - it cooks quickly, and the pork fat is said to be a source of collagen, which is great for anti-aging.
