This recipe will work in a Thermocook or a Thermomix using the same settings. (ps. you might know by now my recipes are based on my culinary philosophy of "agak-agak" or "guesstimating", so adapt as you see fit with similar kitchen appliances). For a non-appliance dependent recipe, please check out my previous post - How to Make Kaya » Read More
How to Make Cocktail Buns (Using a Thermocook)
July 8, 2016 by
Cocktail buns are soft rolls filled with coconut and can often be found at Chinese bun shops. This recipe takes advantage of my Thermocook's kneading and heating functions which allow me to set exact temperatures to first make the water roux, then knead the dough and also mix and heat the filling for me. In the absence of a Thermocook or similar » Read More
Spiral Curry Puffs using a Thermomix
March 21, 2016 by
One of the benefits of making dough in the Thermomix, for me, is its ability to handle small-ish batches and also contain the flour and other ingredients within its closed system during kneading. It means you don't end up with your kitchen bench covered with flour, which was always a source of annoyance with my old Kenwood. This recipe will yield » Read More

How to Make Singapore Chwee Kueh (Thermomix)
February 15, 2016 by
Last Wednesday, my associate Zona and I launched a new weekly Live Broadcast cooking series on Asian Thermomix recipes. This was the first one off the ranks - Singapore Chwee Kueh. As you can see from the video, my chwee kuehs were a bit less smooth and springy as I would have liked, so I’ve tweaked the recipe here for better results » Read More
How to Make Fish Floss or Meat Floss (Thermomix)
February 9, 2016 by
I love chicken floss but as a kid growing up in Malaysia it was always a bit of a luxury item so I never got to eat as much of it or have it as often as I wished. (I guess they mustn’t have been cheap even back in those days.) I remember my parents might pick some up in Kuala Lumpur during one of our infrequent day trips to Malaysia’s capital, or » Read More
How does a Thermomix Handle Asian Ingredients?
January 6, 2016 by
I remember as a kid back in my Templer Flat days in Seremban, one of my neighbours once brought a gigantic stone mill up to their 11th floor unit and set it up on their balcony. It was so heavy and our block of welfare units was so flimsy I wondered their balcony was going to one day break off under the weight of the mill. I think they used it » Read More
How to Make Garlic Chilli Sauce (Thermomix)
November 24, 2015 by
If you don’t own a Thermomix, you can quite easily make this in a regular blender - it takes longer and may require more stopping and stirring/scraping but that’s about it. If this were all the Thermomix is capable of, it’d be a pretty expensive blender, but of course, it can do quite a few other things as well. I will be sharing more recipes » Read More
Jackie M’s Thermomix Review
November 24, 2015 by
I think the first I heard about Thermomix was round about when The Katering Show’s YouTube series came out (warning: language). I really didn’t know much about it and figured it was sort of a glorified blender for people (read: rich Westerners) whose diets consisted mainly of healthy dips and smoothies. I don’t do “healthy”, and I don’t do dips » Read More
