Weekend Cooking: Fish Bukhari Rice
•
During our last trip to the market, I asked Kak’mbang to pick up some fish for making this dish I was curious about, by Chef Ammar. She took the fish out of the freezer today thinking I was going to make it for dinner, but honestly it almost slipped my mind. When I remembered,…

Weekend Cooking: Scrambled Egg Muffin Sliders
•
It’s been a few weeks since I made brunch, so even though I had some stuff to do this morning I made time to try out this recipe I’ve been eyeing for quite a while. With cheese and bacon in the muffins, and accompanied by silky scrambled eggs, how can this combination possibly go…

Potluck: Smoked Chilli Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
•
For the Thanksgiving potluck party with the MSS gang, besides the Cornbread and Sausage Dressing I also made this super simple sweet potato dish, which only uses three (yes, three) ingredients yet is so yummy. The only tricky part is finding the chipotle pepper paste here in KL, and omitting it altogether isn’t exactly a good idea (so…

Potluck: Cornbread and Sausage Dressing
•
So last Thursday the Monday Show Singers gang threw a really fun Thanksgiving party at the studio, which is to also celebrate Ben Lin’s birthday (have a good one Ben!) and Mike Parks’ going away to New York (we’ll miss you!). It was a pot luck party and everybody brought something, and everything was really good. We ate…

Weekend Cooking: Sweet Honey Cornbread
•
I was writing a draft of a different recipe I planned on making soon, and when looking for tips for making good cornbread, I stumbled upon this simple but yummy looking recipe on NotJustBaked.com. I’ve tried several different cornbread recipes before and didn’t find one that I particularly liked, but this one was amazing. Despite using…

Mary Ryan’s Chicken Pie
•
This one has been on the back burner for a while (yes the kitchen expression was deliberate. Haha!), but I finally had all the ingredients and equipment I needed on hand. I totally underestimated how much time it would take to make these, so what was originally supposed to be last night’s dinner ended up being…

Weekend Cooking: Fennel Cheese Rolls
•
I wanted to make a proper dinner tonight, but didn’t have quite a few of the required ingredients on hand. I still wanted to make something, though, and being a bread lover, I decided to make some for breakfast over the coming weekend. I decided on these rolls by Chef Wan from his book, Langkah Demi Langkah…

Weekend Cooking: Kak’mbang’s Cek Mek Molek
•
I bought some large sweet potatoes recently to make something else, but days turned to weeks and they were still sitting in the basket, sprouting whiskers. Kak’mbang asked when exactly am I planning to do anything with them, and being super lazy I decided to ask her to make one of my favourite traditional Malay…

The Dinner Club: Chilli Con Carne and Chili Con Queso
•
The last time I did a Tex Mex dinner party I made a Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Con Queso combination, and it was indeed a very good dish to have. I wasn’t blown away by the Carne, but the Queso was delish. This time, I decided to bring back the Queso, while putting…

For Your Spice Rack: Taco Seasoning
•
I mixed this a while back, so I don’t have pictures, but this is the taco seasoning I used in the Taco Salad I made recently. You can always find the ready-made ones in grocers, but if you have the ingredients on hand, why not $ave$ome$ and make your own 🙂 To make enough just for…
