Special Occasion: Manly Man Lasagna
•
I’ve been wanting to make this dish for years now, but every time I read the recipe, the list of ingredients and the sheer time and effort required to make this seem simply… daunting. But this is the month of June and it is a certain someone’s special day, so I figured that it…

Weekend Cooking: Chicken Spaghetti
•
Been out of the home-cooking scene for quite a while now. Recently, out of sheer boredom I started browsing through the Food Network website and finally discovered Ree Drummond. Her recipes look simple, inexpensive and quite comfort food-ish; totally my kind of food. So over the weekend I decided to try out one of…

In the car on the way to lunch with our mothers to celebrate Mother’s Day, Rudy and I suddenly started talking about a few promising recipes I saw on the Internet, and finally on the spur of the moment we decided to invite our friends over for dinner and board games. After lunch, we…

Weekend Cooking: Kentang Bol (Potato Balls)

Chicken in a Box
•
This event actually started off as a simple gathering among friends to share a whole pile of uneaten chocolates. 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…

Raya 2012 Part Deux: Beef Stroganoff
•
Since Abg Fauzi didn’t spend the first few days of Hari Raya with us, we had a 2nd gathering of sorts, which involved a few dishes making a comeback (the meatballs and the tuna tetrazzini) as well as the debut of a very sinful, very yummy dish. While the total cost of ingredients may…

GobbleFest 2012: Emerilized Green Bean Casserole
•
[Updated 25 Dec 2016] I wanted to make a veggie dish to go with our turkey, but given that my guests (and myself included) are generally carnivores, the challenge is in finding a dish that won’t end up getting ignored the entire evening. I finally chose this surprisingly delicious casserole by Emeril Lagasse, and it was…
