Welcome to my recipe blog, where I share my passion for food and flavor with the rest of the world! I’m not the best at fluffy writing, which means you won’t have to scroll through blocks of text to get to the recipe you’re looking for.

Cheers to a guilt free dessert that will have your friends and family coming back for more in no time. Enjoy!
5-minute enoki mushrooms
Enoki mushrooms are a great choice for those who aren't a big fan of mushrooms but would like to give it a try. The taste is very mild and clean, compared to other mushrooms with more earthy tastes. They cook really quickly in stir-frys, soups, and stand-alone dishes like this one, and can even be eaten raw in salads.
veggie tom kha
Tom Yum is one of my favorite soups because of is intricate flavor profile consisting of: pungent lemongrass, tangy galangal and lime, intoxicating kaffir lime leaves, and spicy red chilies. Adding the creamy coconut milk makes the soup a “Tom Kha” soup. Some people leave the coconut milk out for a more tangy and spicy taste, but I personally prefer for the milk to cut the acidity of this soup.
cilantro + lime hummus
I had half a sack of limes let over after making Tom Yum soup and guacamole the other day, so I decided to incorporate limes into my hummus instead of using lemons. The result was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
braised stuffed koh gua (bitter melon)
In Chinese cuisine, bitter melon is rather popular due to the belief that it provides a "cooling" effect on the body.
matcha pancakes
If you haven't heard, this matcha craze is actually healthy for you! Matcha green tea is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and stress-reducing amino acids.
roasted red peppers + hummus
This is a wonderful hummus variation containing loads of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
omega baked bars
Just a few simple ingredients baked in an oven will give you these healthy and tasty snacks filled with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Krystle's daily shake
Clients have been asking what I put in my shake everyday, so here it is!
Malaysian vegetable curry
Yep, this is another curry recipe. This time, we have a veggie-filled pot that takes just a bit longer to make than the last recipe, and yields a lot more food. A pot like this is perfect for meals with a group of people, or for anyone who likes to make a big batch of food to last for days.
slow-cooked whole chicken
I made an entire chicken with the Crock Pot and the results were fantastic. The meat was flavorful and tender, and there was enough food to last for days - great for meal prepping! There was no need to make a side of quinoa or rice because there were so many vegetables already in the pot.
sing jau chow mei (Singapore fried rice noodles)
Growing up in a Malaysian/Cambodian household, I ate my fair share of beehoon (rice noodles), in both soups and stir-frys. My favorite way of eating these light noodles is stir-frying them in a pan with a bunch of curry powder (aka Singapore Chow Mei Fun).
late night baked salmon
This is a flavorful and nutritious one-pan meal that you can whip up in just 20 minutes!
bánh xèo (sizzling Vietnamese crepes)
"Bánh xèo" literally means "sizzling pancake" because of the sound it makes once the batter touches a hot skillet. These savory crepes are often filled with a meat protein and served with fresh lettuce and herbs.
berry fluffy pancakes
Looking for a gluten-free pancake recipe that doesn’t taste gluten-free? These light cakes taste better than the “real” thing.
shrimp + curry in a hurry
This is a quick yet flavorful curry you can throw together with just a few ingredients.
are you prepping your overnight oats properly?
Oats contain an anti-nutrient that binds important minerals in our body, potentially promoting mineral deficiencies and preventing proper digestion.
