  • Italian Herb and Parmesan Bread

    Italian Herb and Parmesan Bread

    After years of using my trusty Kenwood BM250 breadmaker, I did the stupidest thing. I let the breadpan sit in a sink filled with just a couple of inches of water. It wasn’t that much water, but it was enough for rust to build around the paddle rotator, and it became stuck. No amount…

  • Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    It’s so hard to find good bagels in KL. I can name a couple of bakeries selling it, but can’t say they are particularly spectacular. One day I had a major craving for bagels, so I looked up a few recipes and picked up the one by Sophisticated Gourmet, which didn’t seem too complicated…

    Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)

    To me, cooking is a way to destress after a long week slogging at the office.  Making bread, however, is what I find most enjoyable.   When a bread recipe appeared in Saudi Food Eman’s Facebook feed, I knew I had to try it ASAP.  I mean, bread stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with syrup?…

  • Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok

    Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok

    I saw this recipe on Facebook some time back.  Apparently it was something that was going viral here in Malaysia.  Looking through the ingredients it did seem quite yummy, so I started writing this post, with some small adjustments and notes. It took me two tries to get this right, using my trusty old…

  • Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits

    Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits

    For the Breakfast Mac and Cheese I needed a quick and simple breakfast biscuit recipe, because I just wasn’t willing to fork out 20-plus ringgit to buy the frozen ones from some upmarket grocer.  There are probably other better recipes out there, but this one gets the job done. I find rolling out the…

  • Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base

    Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base

    When making my Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls, I originally just wanted to use ready-made pizza dough, and bought some from the store.  I thought nothing of it, but when I finally took the dough out from the fridge, to my horror the stuff I bought turned out to be pre-baked pizza crust, and was therefore…

  • Weekend Cooking: Extra-Buttery Dinner Rolls

    Weekend Cooking: Extra-Buttery Dinner Rolls

    Lately I’ve been trying to make my own roti paung, and I searched through the net for different ideas to experiment with.  I still haven’t found the right recipe so far, but during one of my experiments I accidentally created these buttery dinner rolls which, I daresay, tasted better than the Parker House Rolls I…

  • GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls

    GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls

    When having roast turkey, one usually would have it with stuffing.  Even though I butterfly my turkey and therefore there’s nothing I can stuff my stuffing into, I usually would still make stuffing on the side.  So far I haven’t found any stuffing recipe that Rudy actually liked, and dinner wouldn’t be complete without dinner…

  • GobbleFest 2015: Brown Butter Cornbread

    GobbleFest 2015: Brown Butter Cornbread

    When putting together the menu for this year’s GobbleFest, I asked the Round Knights for suggestions and Azuan pointed out that we were missing a bakery item.  Serious Eats had already put together an amazing classic Thanksgiving menu, and this cornbread recipe was on the list, so I decided to try it out. I’ve tried other cornbread…

  • Dinner Club: Parker House Rolls

    Dinner Club: Parker House Rolls

    For last night’s Dinner Club session, I needed a few good sides to serve with my roast lamb shoulder, and while surfing around the Net I came upon this site which lists out some really good side dish suggestions.  Who can resist good dinner rolls, let alone rolls completely coated in butter before baking.  I just had…
