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)
•
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
•
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.

Prejean’s Potato Salad
•
I’m on a short break before starting a new job next month, and Kak’mbang has gone back to Terengganu and will only be back at the end of the week. We’ve been eating leftovers and takeout for the past few days, so today I made Smoked Duck and Sausage Gumbo for dinner, for a…

RayaFest 2018: Kak’mbang’s Peanut Sauce (Kuah Kacang)
•
Kak’mbang seriously makes the best kuah kacang. We love it so much, whenever we see kuah kacang sold by vendors out there we never gave them a second look. Of course Kak’mbang thinks everything she makes is just so-so, which is downright ridiculous. Anyway, since there was a lot we needed to prep for Hari Raya, I volunteered…

Pulut Lepa Terengganu
•
Being from Terengganu, I grew up thinking fish is a natural, common ingredient in so many local favorites; nasi lemak with sambal ikan tongkol, karipap, pulut panggang (we call ’em pulut lepa)… but *of course* fish is the main ingredient! Wait… you guys have nasi lemak with chicken rendang and *gasp* paru (beef lung)? Karipap kentang? What is this orange coconut nonsense in this pulut…

Ramadan Cooking: Peri-peri Sausage Rolls
•
Ramadan mubarak, everyone! I can’t believe a year went by so fast. Since I get off work an hour early, again I try to make small dishes like appetisers and snacks for breaking fast. I still have a few bottles of Nando’s PERi-PERi sauce in the larder, so I looked through their website for…

Air-Fried Caramel Banana & Coconut Spring Roll
•
Kak’mbang and I were just chilling out one day talking about food (because why not), and she mentioned this yummy looking recipe she found on a random can of F&N sweetened condensed creamer. Only the ingredients list was on the can, but spring rolls stuffed with bananas and grated coconut and drizzled with sweetened…

Weekend Cooking: Apple Cider Doughnuts
•
Post turkey dinner I had a lot of apple cider left over, and was wondering what to do with it. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon the idea of making doughnuts with apple cider, but now that I have, why didn’t I think of this sooner?? There are quite a few recipes out…

GobbleFest 2017 Leftovers: Turkey Waldorf Salad
•
Happy New Year, everyone! It’s a lazy New Year’s Day, and I wanted to put together a light snack. The first few times I made this was way back in 2012, when I was still actively involved in the Repertory Theater Club (RTC). I made this for a post-rehearsal gathering with the RTC gang,…
