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…

Weekend Cooking: Caprese Salad
•
I’m virtually a carnivore, and naturally salads don’t feature often on the menu whenever I decide to make dinner. However I felt that I needed something fresh to accompany my Bayou chicken pasta for dinner tonight, and I decided on this lovely Caprese Salad, using the fresh parsley I happened to have on hand, and…

Weekend Cooking: Mac and Cheese
•
I wanted something to go with the peri-peri wings I made yesterday, and decided on a comfort food classic – mac and cheese. I’ve tried all sorts of recipes before, and honestly not a single one of them blew my mind, even though they were generally good. This time I based my recipe on the…

Weekend Cooking: Sautéed Mushrooms
•
We had friends over at our place yesterday for brunch and a round of Zombicide, so I threw together the standard stuff one might see on a cafe “breakfast platter” – beef bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, grilled tomatoes, hash browns, and sautéed mushrooms. Merv brought juices, coffee, and bread with cream cheese. So awesome. These mushrooms…

Potluck: Smoked Chilli Scalloped Sweet Potatoes
•
For the Thanksgiving potluck party with the MSS gang, besides the Cornbread and Sausage Dressing I also made this super simple sweet potato dish, which only uses three (yes, three) ingredients yet is so yummy. The only tricky part is finding the chipotle pepper paste here in KL, and omitting it altogether isn’t exactly a good idea (so…

Potluck: Cornbread and Sausage Dressing
•
So last Thursday the Monday Show Singers gang threw a really fun Thanksgiving party at the studio, which is to also celebrate Ben Lin’s birthday (have a good one Ben!) and Mike Parks’ going away to New York (we’ll miss you!). It was a pot luck party and everybody brought something, and everything was really good. We ate…

The Dinner Club: Taco Salad
•
For the recent Dinner Club meet, I wanted to balance out all the cheesy goodness with some semblance of a veggie dish. It also has to be something that isn’t so “healthy” it ends up just being ignored the entire night. So I ended up with this taco salad, which turned out to be a hearty,…

Chicken Bergedil Recipe
•
My big brother once had an Indonesian helper named Jun, and she makes absolutely *amazing* chicken bergedil. Luckily Kak’mbang learned the recipe from her, although when she makes them at home, she makes a (way) healthier version, which are still delicious nonetheless. Here I’m sharing two versions, my own version using an air fryer…

Project RayaFest 2014: Sambal Arab
•
A Middle Eastern rice dish will not be complete without some type of Arabic salsa as an accompaniment, so for the Beef Kabsah I made during Hari Raya AidilAdha, I tried out Chef Ammar’s Sambal Arab. Hot and tangy, it was perfect to counter the greasy fattiness of the beef. Definitely a must, if…

Project: RayaFest 2014 – Tarragon Chicken Salad
•
As part of the menu for the pot roast dinner I organized recently, I wanted to throw in some sort of veggie/fruit dish, to balance out the meat and starch of the main course. So I decided to try out this chicken salad recipe by Emeril Lagasse. It turned out pretty nicely; the tarragon…
