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.

Cranberry, Almond and Walnut Bread
•
I had leftover natural yoghurt in the fridge I’d like to clear out before it goes bad. Looking through the recipe book that came with my Kenwood BM450 machine I saw this recipe, and I had all the ingredients (or their substitutes) on hand, so here we are.

Italian Herb and Parmesan Bread
•
After years of using my trusty Kenwood BM250 breadmaker, I did the stupidest thing. I let the breadpan sit in a sink filled with just a couple of inches of water. It wasn’t that much water, but it was enough for rust to build around the paddle rotator, and it became stuck. No amount…

Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels
•
It’s so hard to find good bagels in KL. I can name a couple of bakeries selling it, but can’t say they are particularly spectacular. One day I had a major craving for bagels, so I looked up a few recipes and picked up the one by Sophisticated Gourmet, which didn’t seem too complicated…

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: Lamb Meghazlia Rice
•
This was on my To-Make list for a while now, and finally I managed to make it this week. Use a mix of meat and bones for a more flavorful stock; I chose lamb shoulder chops specifically for this purpose. If you’re not keen on making your own meghazlia spice mix, I’m sure subbing…

Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)
•
To me, cooking is a way to destress after a long week slogging at the office. Making bread, however, is what I find most enjoyable. When a bread recipe appeared in Saudi Food Eman’s Facebook feed, I knew I had to try it ASAP. I mean, bread stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with syrup?…

Weekend Cooking: Lamb Haneeth with Rice
•
During a rare trip to Berkat Madinah, a Middle Eastern grocer, I bought a jar of Chef Ammar’s haneeth spice. We love the haneeth served at Half Moon, our favorite Arab restaurant, so I figured I’d try making it on my own. However recipes I found online were very different from what I thought…

Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok
•
I saw this recipe on Facebook some time back. Apparently it was something that was going viral here in Malaysia. Looking through the ingredients it did seem quite yummy, so I started writing this post, with some small adjustments and notes. It took me two tries to get this right, using my trusty old…

Weekend Cooking: Pressure Cooker Chicken with Chickpeas, Tomatoes, and Sausage
•
After having my morning coffee and having finished this week’s copy of The Edge, I wandered into the kitchen and saw Kak’mbang staring at the chicken she just cut up. I asked her what was on her mind, and she said she had trouble figuring out what to do with it for lunch today.…
