  • Chicken Miso Ramen

    Chicken Miso Ramen

    Rudy loved Japanese food. He missed sushi the most, as consuming raw/ undercooked foods was not advised when undergoing his treatments. As much as we could we still tried to have our Japanese food fix, and ramen was one of the things we wanted to have more of.

  • Make Your Own: Chicken and Duck Andouille Sausage

    Make Your Own: Chicken and Duck Andouille Sausage

    I’ve made quite a few recipes by Emeril Lagasse which called for andouille sausages. I have never seen halal andouille in any of the upmarket grocers or deli stores in KL, and even when an ad for a non-halal deli pops up in my feed (need to do better, Facebook -_-) I rarely see…

  • Breadmaker Roti Benggali

    Breadmaker Roti Benggali

    When I was a kid, on weekends when we went to visit my brother in boarding school, we’d stop by a market in Batu Enam to buy Bengali bread rolls filled with kaya. The bread was simple, soft but not milky, and the kaya was the cheapo diluted type unlike the fancy gourmet ones…

  • Homemade Mexican Chicken Chorizo Sausage

    Homemade Mexican Chicken Chorizo Sausage

    Been wanting to make my own sausages for ages. The recipes I like to try out, usually from Emeril Lagasse, often call for different kinds of sausages, (Spanish or Portuguese) chorizo, andouille, or Italian (both hot and sweet). Sweet Italian sausages are still relatively easier to find, but not so much for the rest.…

  • Make Your Own: Fish Stock

    Make Your Own: Fish Stock

    When I order fish and seafood from @faharseafood I usually ask for the grouper to be filleted, and the fillets will be delivered along with the head and bones. After a few rounds of orders, I accumulated quite a few sets of these, and I felt that it would’ve been such a waste to…

  • Chicken Chashu Chahan (Fried Rice)

    Chicken Chashu Chahan (Fried Rice)

    I still had some chicken chashu leftover but not much ramen left to use it as a topping, so I resorted to the most common thing Asians would do with leftovers: make fried rice!

  • Ramen Eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago)

    Ramen Eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago)

    Having made the chashu as part of the toppings for my ramen, next thing to make are the eggs. I used the leftover chashu braising liquid as a marinade, but if this is not available and you simply want to make the eggs on their own, you only need just a few ingredients. Got…

  • Chicken Chashu for Ramen

    Chicken Chashu for Ramen

    We were gifted a set of DIY ramen, which came with 5 portions worth of noodles, broth paste and chili seasoning. I’d like to prepare this for the family, but obviously I shouldn’t waste the opportunity by serving a bowl of noodles in soup and nothing else. Toppings were definitely required.

  • Breadmaker Kicked-up Dinner Rolls

    Breadmaker Kicked-up Dinner Rolls

    I wanted some bread to go with the Honey-butter Baked Chicken I made, so I decided to make some of my own.  These fluffy, buttery dinner rolls are not too sweet or flavorful on their own, great for soaking up pot roast gravy or soups.  I just wish I had some soup or gumbo…

  • Swedish Meatballs

    Swedish Meatballs

    Been ages since we’ve been to IKEA. Window shopping or filling our carts with cool stuff we don’t need is fun, sure, but usually the highlight of our IKEA trips is usually lunch at their cafeteria. We’d order the usual staples like the fried chicken wings, grilled salmon, and of course the meatballs.
