Weekend Cooking: Shrimp Scampi Pasta
•
Many of my favorite pasta dishes are oil-based, one of them being the Shrimp Scampi pasta at Tony Roma’s. I used to order it very often whenever I’m there, but during my last few trips I felt rather disappointed by the dish. Theoretically the dish doesn’t seem too difficult to make, so I decided to…

GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls
•
When having roast turkey, one usually would have it with stuffing. Even though I butterfly my turkey and therefore there’s nothing I can stuff my stuffing into, I usually would still make stuffing on the side. So far I haven’t found any stuffing recipe that Rudy actually liked, and dinner wouldn’t be complete without dinner…

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…

Potluck: Cheeseburger Sliders
•
I saw a video by Tastemade some time ago on how to make 4 types of sliders, and I knew I had to try making them. I was going to make the cheeseburger sliders for a potluck tonight, but the host came down with fever and had to cancel (get well soon, Elle!). I was really looking…

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!

Weekend Cooking: Pressure Cooker Chicken & Chickpea Masala
•
I’m really liking the Philips electric pressure cooker I bought recently, and I’d really like for it to not be a white elephant, like what almost happened to my air fryer (glad it didn’t, though!). So I looked around for easy pressure cooker recipes that don’t involve unusual/expensive ingredients or require too much work. This recipe…

Weekend Cooking: Kak’mbang’s Chicken Rice
•
Others may have their own personal preferences, but Rudy and I both agree that Kak’mbang’s chicken rice is really, really good. This was another recipe that simply must be preserved for generations to come, but again I’ve always had trouble catching her in action (she’s such a ninja in the kitchen; dishes just magically appear and you…

Weekend Cooking: Roasted Turkey Legs
•
So a few frozen turkey legs mysteriously ended up in my shopping cart at Tesco, so I decided to make something a little different for dinner tonight. The drumsticks were a rather big, so they took a bit longer to cook than I had originally planned. All in all they turned out quite tasty;…

Weekend Cooking: Roasted Herb Butter Parmesan Shrimp
•
One of Rudy’s colleagues went back to Kota Kinabalu over Christmas break, and she was very kind to help us get some amazing seafood her hometown is famed for. We received 2 kilos of the biggest shrimp I’ve ever seen (10 to 12 a kilogram, aptly described as “extra colossal”), and I really wanted…
