Nasi Daging
•
It’s Ramadan, and the Movement Control Order (MCO) is in effect resulting in the surge of home cooks, so there are tons of yummy looking recipes flying around on the Internet. The Bestie shared this Nasi Daging (beef rice) recipe from daridapur.com, and it looked simply amazing. I’ve had nasi daging several times in…

Prawn Panzerotti
•
Got some really good saltwater shrimp from Everfresh the other day, and I was looking for more ideas for simple meals for sahur during this Ramadan. I’ve made steamed buns and burger buns using my Kenwood BM450 breadmaker, so now I’m revisiting very old pizza recipes using the new equipment I have on hand.

Breadmaker Calzone Dough
•
Many years ago I got into a pizza-making craze, and I made many different types of pizzas and calzones almost every weekend. After that other crazes followed, and I just simply stopped making pizzas altogether. This Ramadan I finally dusted off my old pizza cookbook to make Prawn Panzerotti, a dish I tried many…

Japanese Meat Buns (Nikuman)
•
I’ve always loved Japan, their wonderful country, culture and food. Oftentimes when I visit a konbini like Lawson or Family Mart I’d stare longingly at the selection of steamed buns, especially the nikuman, and wonder what they taste like. Of course I’ll never know for real, as they are most certainly made of pork…

Chicken Char Siu with a Pressure Cooker

One of my favorite things to order whenever I go for dim sum is their BBQ chicken buns, or char siu chicken buns. There are a number of good halal dim sum places in KL, but we rarely eat out anyway, so meals there are few and far between usually. Here’s my first attempt…

Pau Dough: Make Your Own
•
It’s been a very long time since Kak’mbang and I made pau. Back when we were still living in Terengganu, every so often we would buy boxes of Blue Key flour and make chicken mushroom pau. Kak’mbang made the filling and I was on pau dough duty. Freshly steamed buns would then be sent…

Homemade Bagels
•
I love bagels. Especially the ones freshly toasted and slathered with a ton of cream cheese. Top it with some yummy smoked salmon and you’ll have a complete breakfast. I tried making my own bagels before which turned out pretty yummy, however it wasn’t very long before they became a bit stale. So I…

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.
