  • Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops Using Pressure Cooker

    Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops Using Pressure Cooker

    Kak’mbang has been yelling at me for leaving the lamb shoulder chops I bought some time ago to just sit in the freezer for ages.  With my crazy work schedule, I honestly have no energy to make anything involving too much work.  I found this braised recipe lamb shoulder chops recipe on allrecipes.com which got pretty…

  • Weekend Cooking: Pressure Cooker Lamb Stew

    Weekend Cooking: Pressure Cooker Lamb Stew

    Tesco was selling lamb shoulder cubes for cheap during the Deepavali festive season, and I figured I’d bring out my pressure cooker and let it see some action.  I based this recipe on one I found on food.com, and it was super easy to make and turned out really yummy. I love my pressure cooker!

  • Pressure-Cooked Chick Peas (Kacang Kuda Rebus)

    Pressure-Cooked Chick Peas (Kacang Kuda Rebus)

    Some of the yummiest snacks are the simplest, and one of my favorites is boiled chick peas.  For an afternoon snack (and anything in between), boiled chick peas are perhaps a healthier alternative, and I could keep munching on these all day while sipping yummy cups of coffee.  Before the advent of pressure cookers…

  • Weekend Cooking: Chef Ammar’s Quail Ozzi with Saffron Boiled Eggs

    Weekend Cooking: Chef Ammar’s Quail Ozzi with Saffron Boiled Eggs

    Found some quails at Tesco recently, and was really curious about them.  I remembered that Chef Ammar had a quail recipe in his book, so I decided to grab a bag of ten birds.  Making this dish marked a few firsts for me; first time preparing quails, and first time frying breaded stuff in the…

  • Weekend Cooking: Air-fried Peri-peri Wings

    Weekend Cooking: Air-fried Peri-peri Wings

    Yeah you read it right: air-fried.  The other day I put my Philips HD 9220 airfryer up for sale via the Preloved group on Facebook, since I’ve had it for years and only used it less than 5 times. When one of the potential buyers asked me to test it to see if it still works, I…

  • Chicken Bergedil Recipe

    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…

  • Beef Kabsah With Basmathi Rice

    Beef Kabsah With Basmathi Rice

    I’ve been waiting for Chef Ammar’s spices and recipe book to go mainstream for a very long time, but somehow it never did.  His books are not sold in any major bookstore, and his bottled spices are not sold in any major grocer or supermarket.  His stuff is only sold online by seemingly home-based…

  • The Dinner Club: Turkey Ham Breadsticks

    The Dinner Club: Turkey Ham Breadsticks

    This wasn’t originally on the menu for our first Dinner Club meet scheduled for tomorrow.  But I was digging through my freezer and found some turkey ham and, since breadsticks usually get included in pizza meal sets, I decided to make these as well. They keep well for a couple of days, so I…
