Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup
•
This creamy soup is filled with generous amounts of mushrooms, and is seriously the best I have ever tasted. I will not make cream of mushroom soup any other way ever again. A portion of this recipe was used for the Emerilized Green Bean Casserole, and the rest was served as a starter. Definitely…

•
Due to the inability of the Synology 411j NAS to host this wordpress site, we’ve finally moved to Amazon’s EC2 service. This is Amazon’s cloud service with its micro instance starting at USD15 a month if you run it 24/7. Yes, USD15 is a little pricey for just a private wordpress blog, but Amazon…

At the same time I wanted to try out Emeril’s fried chicken recipe, and needed guinea pi– I mean, food tasters. Then after some thought I figured I wouldn’t be right serving just fried chicken…

Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2012

It was gonna be a very quiet Hari Raya this year; Abg Fauzi & Abg. Hadi and their families won’t be in KL to celebrate Raya with us. Regardless, I was tasked to cook a few dishes, and knowing Mummy, her biggest concern was “tak cukup makanan.” So with that in mind, I picked…

Make Your Own: Essence (Worth the trouble)
