  • Breadmaker New England Hot Dog Buns

    Breadmaker New England Hot Dog Buns

    We’re still mostly under lockdown due to the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), and I had a lot of time on my hands so it was high time to clear out the freezer again. Found gourmet lamb sausages bought from B.I.G. some time ago, so why not have some hot dogs for dinner tonight?…

  • Molo (Filipino Dumpling) Soup

    Molo (Filipino Dumpling) Soup

    I generally cannot refuse dumplings of any variety, be it steamed, fried, boiled, served as dim sum or in soup, just name it. Dumplings are simply the best comfort food for me, especially served in steaming bowls of hot soup on cold rainy days. Found out about molo, a Filipino dumpling soup dish, from…

  • Nasi Daging

    Nasi Daging

    It’s Ramadan, and the Movement Control Order (MCO) is in effect resulting in the surge of home cooks, so there are tons of yummy looking recipes flying around on the Internet. The Bestie shared this Nasi Daging (beef rice) recipe from daridapur.com, and it looked simply amazing. I’ve had nasi daging several times in…

  • Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon with Buttered Asparagus

    Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon with Buttered Asparagus

    Bought a few pieces of salmon fillet from Myfishman.com. Fish and seafood I get from them are usually very fresh and yummy, and I had high expectations from the salmon I got. I wanted to make something that is simple yet fully brings out the fish as the star attraction.

  • Prawn Panzerotti

    Prawn Panzerotti

    Got some really good saltwater shrimp from Everfresh the other day, and I was looking for more ideas for simple meals for sahur during this Ramadan. I’ve made steamed buns and burger buns using my Kenwood BM450 breadmaker, so now I’m revisiting very old pizza recipes using the new equipment I have on hand.

  • Breadmaker Calzone Dough

    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)

    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

    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. I had imagined life under lockdown would allow me a lot more opportunities to try out…

  • Breadmaker Milo Buns

    Breadmaker Milo Buns

    I’ve been putting off making this recipe for a while now, and finally got around to it today. We got a jar of Ovomaltine Crunchy Spread from Tiffany , and I figured a malted chocolate spread would be a great match for these Milo buns. These buns are pillowy soft, and the crunch from…

  • Breadmaker Hokkaido Milk Loaf

    Breadmaker Hokkaido Milk Loaf

    On my last trip to Niseko, Hokkaido, we stayed at the nice and homey Yorokobi Lodge, which had a well equipped kitchenette. Seicomart was just down the road, so we could buy basic staples like eggs, cheese, bread, delicious Hokkaido milk and butter to fix our own breakfast. When we somehow still felt like…
