  • Chinese Beef Pies (Xian Bing)

    Chinese Beef Pies (Xian Bing)

    This recipe from XiaoGaoJie (小高姐) came up in my YouTube feed and looked super interesting. I finally busted out my KitchenAid Artisan mixer, and made both the dough and the filling using it.

  • Luncheon Meat Gyoza

    Luncheon Meat Gyoza

    Bought halal chicken luncheon meat from Lolili. Each portion is about 300 grams, and I would usually use half of it in each of the luncheon meat dishes I make. Okay maybe not all dishes. I made the super-yummy Sweet & Sour Luncheon Meat with Potatoes and I decided to use the whole thing.…

  • Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes

    Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes

    Recently Rudy ordered a few items from Lolili’s Delights, which sells halal Chinese delicacies like bakkwa, chang, stuff that was completely inaccessible to us in the past. Among the few things we bought was the luncheon meat, and I wasn’t sure how best to use it. Searched online and found this really simple, yummy…

  • Momo (Nepali Dumplings)

    Momo (Nepali Dumplings)

    So I was talking to my colleagues at work about food and dumplings and yummy stuff to eat, when Shu mentioned momos. Momos are Nepalese dumplings, she said, and you eat them with chutney. To me, that sounded simply wonderful. I have always loved dumplings, and I also thoroughly enjoy making them especially the…

  • Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs

    Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs

    I usually leave our daily meals to Kak’mbang who is an amazing cook (but of course she denies it for some reason), where we usually have a few meat, veg and/or egg dishes with plain white rice. On rare occasions I contribute a dish to the table, and today I made a simple egg…

  • 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.

  • Smoked Chicken and Cheese Chowder

    Smoked Chicken and Cheese Chowder

    It’s strangely hard for me to find turkey ham of late. Chicken toast is everywhere, but turkey… not so much. I went to the usual places like B.I.G. and Cold Storage near my house and they are always out of stock. So I reached out to Merv, whom I can always count on for…

  • Red Bean Cookies – Grandma’s Legendary Recipe

    Red Bean Cookies – Grandma’s Legendary Recipe

    My (mysterious) Grandma made red bean cookies that were practically legendary in my family. Unfortunately I was not blessed with the opportunity to savour the real deal, but Abang Fauzi definitely remembers watching her make the cookies, and among my siblings I think he loved them the most.

  • Grandma’s Red Bean Filling (Inti Kacang Nenek)

    Grandma’s Red Bean Filling (Inti Kacang Nenek)

    If you are attempting the gauntlet that is my late maternal grandmother’s legendary kuih kacang, you can either fill it with store-bought red bean filling to significantly cut the prep time, or you can make it from scratch following her recipe which has been passed down through the ages.

  • Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    This was a recipe I made a long, long time ago for Hari Raya celebrations, and at the point of time I haven’t started blogging my culinary exploits just yet. The recipe is from Emeril’s Potluck, and as you probably can imagine, this makes a potluck-sized batch.
