Sausage McMuffins (Chicken): McDonald’s Copycat
•
One of my guilty pleasures is the McDonald’s breakfast menu. I particularly like their Sausage McMuffins (even better with egg). But nowadays breakfast ends earlier at 10:30am and I always end up missing the window, and of late I also noticed their sausage patties are insanely salty. It could just be me getting older…

Breadmaker Wu Pao Chun Champion Toast Bread
•
I’m on quite a few Facebook groups related to breadmaking and breadmaker usage, and quite often I see folks posting their Wu Pao Chun bread. I was wondering what this was all about, and many times those posts didn’t come with the recipe. One day Rudy shared with me the link to the recipe…

Grilled Cheese Sandwich
•
Anyone who has seen the movie Chef starring Jon Favreau would probably remember the scene with the absolutely decadent-looking grilled cheese sandwich. In the early days after watching the film, I practically fantasized about how gooey the cheese might be, and what the different cheeses might taste like. At long last, after quite a…

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?…

Ramadan Cooking: Potato Croquettes
•
Ever since Ramadan started, I’ve been taking my quick breaks walking through the aisles of Ben’s Independent Grocer (B.I.G.) almost every working day. Sometimes (very rarely) I leave empty handed, but most of the time I would buy some fruit at half price or bread or some ingredient I could use to make something…

Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Mac and Cheese
•
One day Khairil sent me a link on Facebook messenger to this really yummy looking recipe by Spicy Southern Kitchen. It looked simple enough, and I just received a bag of shredded Cheddar from Merv, so I thought it’d be nice to make this over the weekend and invite Adik over for brunch. So…

Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits
•
For the Breakfast Mac and Cheese I needed a quick and simple breakfast biscuit recipe, because I just wasn’t willing to fork out 20-plus ringgit to buy the frozen ones from some upmarket grocer. There are probably other better recipes out there, but this one gets the job done. I find rolling out the…

Weekend Cooking: Sautéed Mushrooms
•
We had friends over at our place yesterday for brunch and a round of Zombicide, so I threw together the standard stuff one might see on a cafe “breakfast platter” – beef bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, grilled tomatoes, hash browns, and sautéed mushrooms. Merv brought juices, coffee, and bread with cream cheese. So awesome. These mushrooms…

Weekend Cooking: Scrambled Egg Muffin Sliders
•
It’s been a few weeks since I made brunch, so even though I had some stuff to do this morning I made time to try out this recipe I’ve been eyeing for quite a while. With cheese and bacon in the muffins, and accompanied by silky scrambled eggs, how can this combination possibly go…

Weekend Cooking: Fennel Cheese Rolls
•
I wanted to make a proper dinner tonight, but didn’t have quite a few of the required ingredients on hand. I still wanted to make something, though, and being a bread lover, I decided to make some for breakfast over the coming weekend. I decided on these rolls by Chef Wan from his book, Langkah Demi Langkah…
