I just love to be in the kitchen whether it's cooking,baking or cleaning up.
I enjoy the view from my kitchen window & the cool breeze that's always there...
'Kitchen Breeze'is really an inspiration from my favorite spot in the house.
Hope to share some cooking or baking recipes,kitchen tips or anything in the kitchen!

I just love to cook...I try to cook or bake whenever I can.Cooking is therapeutic for me.
Spending time at the kitchen takes away the stress at work.
My work involves teaching & running a music school which I find very similar to cooking..'hands-on'.

Here's Fried Vermicelli (beehoon)... my kids' favorite lunch fare.


You need:
  1. a pack of beehoon(soaked to soften & drain)
  2. dried shrimps-minced
  3. garlic & shallots-minced
  4. cabbage-sliced
  5. carrot-cut into strips
  6. beancurd-sliced

seasonings to taste:
  1. fish sauce
  2. oyster sauce
  3. thick soya sauce
  4. sesame oil
  5. pepper
 Method:
  1. Shallow-fry soaked beehoon with a little oil & soya sauce first.( My dad's tip)
  2. Dish up beehoon & put aside for later.
  3. Add some oil to fry dried shrimp,shallots & garlic.
  4. Add in beancurd & fry till slightly browned.Keep stirring to prevent sticking & careful of 'splatter'
  5. Put in cabbage & carrot,fish sauce & oyster sauce..add some water.
  6. Add a little thick soya sauce,sesame oil & pepper.
  7. Lastly,put in prefried beehoon & mix well...add a little more water if needed.

 Enjoy this simple dish!
