Weekend Cooking: Grilled Citrus and Herb Shrimp
•
Recently Rudy got more giant shrimp from Daphne, and I wanted to prepare it in a way that will do justice to this rare (and rather pricey) ingredient. I took this lovely recipe by Emeril and modified it using herbs from Mummy’s garden. Try it out yourself with your own mix of herbs, but this…

Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base
•
When making my Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls, I originally just wanted to use ready-made pizza dough, and bought some from the store. I thought nothing of it, but when I finally took the dough out from the fridge, to my horror the stuff I bought turned out to be pre-baked pizza crust, and was therefore…

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew with Carrots and Potatoes
•
During my last trip to the wet market, I bought some beef with the intention of making pot roast for the Round Knights. Weeks passed, and for some reason or the other I just never got around to do it. This is becoming a bit of an annoying habit for me now… Anyway, of…

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
•
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)
•
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
•
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
•
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
•
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
•
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…
