Oven Dishes.
You can bake chicken, fish or pork. Try various types of marinating, just like for steaming. You can use oyster sauce, salt and sugar, sesame oil and pepper; or use chinese herbs (soak it in a little hot water before adding to the chicken, add salt for taste. The only difference is the cooking time. For baking, you need 40 minutes instead of 15 minutes for chicken. If it is boneless, 20-30mins is sufficient. You can also buy pre-marinated chicken or pork or beef from the supermarket. Or get the ready-made pizza or shepherd's pie and bake it in the oven. Its still very much cheaper than eating out.
Stir-fry Chicken Meat.
You can stir-fry with shitake mushroom, fresh button mushroom or whatever mushroom available. As usual, marinate the chicken pieces (bite size) with soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper and corn flour. Fry some ginger then add the chicken followed by the mushroom then add some water to make the gravy. Add a litte bit of oyster sauce, black sauce and salt. Instead of mushroom, you can use potatoes but the potatoes need to be pre-cooked by steaming or boiling or deep-fried. If you use onions and tomatoes also but its nicer to add some sugar, lime juice or vinegar. The gravy will usually thicken by itself because of the corn flour used during marinating.

You can fry rice the same way. 
For beehoon soup, add water to the cooked ingredients, add seasoning then add presoaked bee-hoon. (no need to soak in hot water- use cold water) No need bean sprouts or carrot. Add mushroom instead.
