Hong Kong Bolognese Spaghetti I make this Hong Kong Bolognese Spaghetti when I want a comforting meal to share with my family. Ground beef, crushed tomatoes, and soy sauce create a rich and creamy sauce full of umami. I love how the Asian pantry staples simplify the process and make this an easy weekday dinner or meal prep option.

Valentine’s Sour Gummy Candy is a fun and festive homemade candy made with flavored gelatin and coated in a sweet-and-sour sugar mixture that tastes similar to Sour Patch Kids. These chewy gummy hearts are surprisingly easy to make and perfect for Valentine’s Day parties, classroom treats, or homemade gifts. You can even adjust the sour coating to suit your taste, making them as sweet or as tangy as you like.

Yang Zhou Fried Rice (扬州炒饭) Easy but authentic 30 minute meals like this Yangzhou fried rice are always at the top of my list for a random weekday. I love the crispy rice paired with bits of shrimp and Chinese BBQ pork that are rich and aromatic. My recipe is incredibly simple to put together and tastes far better than most Chinese takeout.

Next morning, I toasted two muffins for breakfast. The Apple Crumble (苹果香酥) is their new product which is covered with crunchy crumbs on top while you get crisp cubes of apple 🍎 with hint of cinnamon inside. A little disappointed with the Strawberry Cheese (草莓奶酪) muffin as you only get the jam with no real strawberry 🍓 inside. There is however, a dollop of creamy cheese 🧀 in the centre to boost up its flavour profile. As for the Oreo muffins, they are reserved for mum and sis to enjoy.
