Breadmaker Calzone Dough
•
Many years ago I got into a pizza-making craze, and I made many different types of pizzas and calzones almost every weekend. After that other crazes followed, and I just simply stopped making pizzas altogether. This Ramadan I finally dusted off my old pizza cookbook to make Prawn Panzerotti, a dish I tried many…

Japanese Meat Buns (Nikuman)
•
I’ve always loved Japan, their wonderful country, culture and food. Oftentimes when I visit a konbini like Lawson or Family Mart I’d stare longingly at the selection of steamed buns, especially the nikuman, and wonder what they taste like. Of course I’ll never know for real, as they are most certainly made of pork…

Breadmaker Burger Buns
•
It’s been a month since the Movement Control Order (MCO) officially started. I said ‘officially’ because Rudy and I have been on self quarantine since about 10 days before that, after coming back from our trip to Hokkaido.

Wonton Noodle Soup
•
I love dumplings, and I love noodles in soup. To me at least, they are the ultimate comfort food. When both are combined into a single, yummy dish, that just takes it to the next level. Imagine a gloomy, rainy night, tucking into a large steaming bowl of soupy noodles topped with wontons bursting…

Char Siu Buns (Chicken version)
•
I love dim sum. Dolly Dim Sum, Luk Yu Tea House and Lai Po Heen are my favorite places in KL for good dim sum, but unfortunately it’s not often that I get a chance to enjoy their food. One of the typical dim sum I would order are the BBQ chicken buns, or…

Chicken Char Siu with a Pressure Cooker
•
One of my favorite things to order whenever I go for dim sum is their BBQ chicken buns, or char siu chicken buns. There are a number of good halal dim sum places in KL, but we rarely eat out anyway, so meals there are few and far between usually. Here’s my first attempt…

Make Your Own: Chicken Stock
•
When making most of the recipes in this blog which calls for chicken stock, I usually go for the quick and easy method by using store-bought stock cubes. However, for or when you have some extra time on hand, or when the flavor of the stock is truly the heart of a dish, here’s…
