  • Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon with Buttered Asparagus

    Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon with Buttered Asparagus

    Bought a few pieces of salmon fillet from Myfishman.com. Fish and seafood I get from them are usually very fresh and yummy, and I had high expectations from the salmon I got. I wanted to make something that is simple yet fully brings out the fish as the star attraction.

  • Prawn Panzerotti

    Prawn Panzerotti

    Got some really good saltwater shrimp from Everfresh the other day, and I was looking for more ideas for simple meals for sahur during this Ramadan. I’ve made steamed buns and burger buns using my Kenwood BM450 breadmaker, so now I’m revisiting very old pizza recipes using the new equipment I have on hand.

  • Wonton Noodle Soup

    Wonton Noodle Soup

    I love dumplings, and I love noodles in soup. To me at least, they are the ultimate comfort food. When both are combined into a single, yummy dish, that just takes it to the next level. Imagine a gloomy, rainy night, tucking into a large steaming bowl of soupy noodles topped with wontons bursting…

  • Seared Crispy Skin Duck Breast with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes

    Seared Crispy Skin Duck Breast with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes

    Bought some duck breast from Tesco then took my own sweet time to make something from it. Ended up with this simple enough dish, to satisfy your duck cravings without the hassle of roasting a whole bird. Watch out the roasting times; overcooking the duck will result in dry, tougher meat. The original recipe…

  • Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    This was a recipe I made a long, long time ago for Hari Raya celebrations, and at the point of time I haven’t started blogging my culinary exploits just yet. The recipe is from Emeril’s Potluck, and as you probably can imagine, this makes a potluck-sized batch.

  • Steak and Mushroom Pie

    Steak and Mushroom Pie

    When I first started cooking I basically had one go-to chef for most recipes I wanted to try – Emeril Lagasse. In the beginning I focused more on so-called Western dishes – pies, pasta, and casseroles – and one of my earliest attempts on pies was this steak and mushroom pie. Last time I…

  • Weekend Cooking: Braised Duck Legs

    Weekend Cooking: Braised Duck Legs

    Tesco started stocking more than just whole ducks – whole legs, necks (for stock, I’m guessing), wings, and very rarely, breasts. I grabbed a bag of duck legs out of impulse, and after letting them sit in the freezer for a while, I searched the Internet again for ideas, and found this interesting recipe…

  • Ramadan Cooking: Eman’s Chicken Mandy

    Ramadan Cooking: Eman’s Chicken Mandy

    It’s the last weekend of Ramadan. Gosh, time really flies.  I wanted to make Chef Wan’s briyani gam with chicken kuzi, but I was missing a few ingredients and I’ll only be going to the market tomorrow.  Since I’ll also be eating out tomorrow, if I wanted to make something, tonight was my only window of…

  • Karnataka-style Chicken Briyani

    Karnataka-style Chicken Briyani

    Last Ramadan I was binging on Middle Eastern recipes, but this year I stumbled upon this YouTube channel called Get Curried and was intrigued by their selection of Indian recipes.  At first I wanted to try their butter chicken, but it’s the weekend and I should do something fancier and Mom also suggested I…

  • Ramadan Cooking: Shrimp Scampi Pasta

    Ramadan Cooking: Shrimp Scampi Pasta

    I found some really nice (albeit expensive) shrimp at B.I.G. recently, and at the same time was having such a craving for pasta.  I’ve mentioned previously that I really love the shrimp scampi at Tony Roma’s, although over the years they seemed to have modified the recipe or something and even that has lost…
