  • Pizzaman (Japanese Steamed Pizza Buns): Halal Version

    Pizzaman (Japanese Steamed Pizza Buns): Halal Version

    I’ve always loved Japan and so many things about it, the language, the culture, and of course their food. Japanese konbini or convenience store food is practically a whole unique segment of Japanese cuisine, and one of their most fascinating food items is pizzaman (a contraction of the words ‘pizza’ and ‘manju’), literally a…

  • Roti Paung Terengganu

    Roti Paung Terengganu

    When I was younger, afternoon tea was pretty much a daily routine.  Mummy would drive out (practically every place in Kuala Terengganu was only a 5 minutes’ drive away) and buy cakes or snacks for our afternoon tea, such as banana fritters, traditional Malay kuih, and occasionally, freshly baked roti paung.  A favorite place for us to buy…

  • Chocolate Swirl Bread

    Chocolate Swirl Bread

    When I was a kid, there was a local bakery which sold a two-colored white and chocolate bread loaf, a ‘chocolate swirl bread’, so to speak. We called it ‘roti kahwin’ (literally translates to ‘married bread’) at home, for some reason. This was a misnomer, as roti kahwin usually refers to two pieces of…

  • Breadmaker Garlic Cheese Bread

    Breadmaker Garlic Cheese Bread

    I try to bake a fresh loaf of bread at least once a week, and usually I would alternate between a sweet loaf and a savory one. Last week I reattempted the Condensed Milk Bread with some improvements, so this week I wanted something savory. This Garlic Cheese bread came up in my Youtube…

  • Condensed Milk Bread

    Condensed Milk Bread

    Saw this video from Savor Easy for a while now, but finally got around to trying it today. This bread uses sweetened condensed milk in the dough itself as well as in the glaze, and my oh my the bread is so soft and quite heavenly. If you have some glaze leftover, USE IT.…

  • Breadmaker Roti Benggali

    Breadmaker Roti Benggali

    When I was a kid, on weekends when we went to visit my brother in boarding school, we’d stop by a market in Batu Enam to buy Bengali bread rolls filled with kaya. The bread was simple, soft but not milky, and the kaya was the cheapo diluted type unlike the fancy gourmet ones…

  • Breadmaker Kicked-up Dinner Rolls

    Breadmaker Kicked-up Dinner Rolls

    I wanted some bread to go with the Honey-butter Baked Chicken I made, so I decided to make some of my own.  These fluffy, buttery dinner rolls are not too sweet or flavorful on their own, great for soaking up pot roast gravy or soups.  I just wish I had some soup or gumbo…

  • Mozzarella & Turkey Ham Stromboli

    Mozzarella & Turkey Ham Stromboli

    Many many years ago I made this lovely stromboli recipe from 500 Pizzas & Flatbreads. I was still such a newbie back then and my skills were pretty rough, so during my last attempt my stromboli were quite misshapen and uneven. What was certain, however, was how amazingly good these savory rolls were.

  • Make Your Own: Yellow Noodles (Mi Kuning)

    Make Your Own: Yellow Noodles (Mi Kuning)

    Been craving noodles. I generally love soupy noodle dishes and noodles in general, but I never really liked store-bought yellow noodles, or mi gemuk as I liked to call them. I find them to have a very unpleasant aftertaste, and some are so full of boric acid and lord knows what other additives, I…

  • Breadmaker Pumpkin Bread

    Breadmaker Pumpkin Bread

    In some parts of the world, it’s pumpkin season. Halloween is around the corner, folks are enjoying their Fall treats, maybe while carving faces into pumpkins and such. No such thing here in Malaysia, but it doesn’t stop us from enjoying our pumpkins in any shape or form. I received some really gorgeous pumpkins…
