Curry Noodles
•
During the Covid pandemic, I made curry mee for the first time. Eating out was simply not an option, and sometimes we really wanted something different than the usual rice and side dishes. A few years would pass before I started making it again. Che Nom dropped her new Ipoh-style curry noodles recipe video…

Chicken Paprik
•
It’s been over a year since Kak’mbang retired. She used to prepare all kinds of dishes to accompany our rice for every meal, and all of them were simple yet really good. Those were the good ‘ol days, and I truly miss her cooking. Now, the task of preparing our daily meals is passed…

Bayou Chicken Pasta
•
Over the weekend a group of 10 came over for pot roast, and I worried we wouldn’t have enough starch as a “filler” dish. So, at the very last minute I threw in another pasta dish to the menu. I decided on this simple but incredibly delicious pasta, modified from the recipe by Emeril Lagasse. I’ve…

Chicken Miso Ramen
•
Rudy loved Japanese food. He missed sushi the most, as consuming raw/ undercooked foods was not advised when undergoing his treatments. As much as we could we still tried to have our Japanese food fix, and ramen was one of the things we wanted to have more of.

Chicken Chashu Fried Rice (Chashu Chahan)
•
I still had some chicken chashu leftover, but not much ramen left to use it as a topping. So I resorted to making the most common thing Asians would with leftovers: make chashu fried rice!

Swedish Meatballs: IKEA Copycat Recipe
•
It’s been ages since we’ve been to IKEA. Surely, window shopping or filling our carts with cool stuff we don’t need is fun, but the highlight of our IKEA trips is usually lunch at their cafeteria. Typically, we’d order the usual staples like the fried chicken wings, grilled salmon, and of course the meatballs.

Chicken Yakisoba
•
I really like yakisoba. Back when I was a student living in Nagoya for over a year, every few days we’d walk down the road to the neighborhood supermarket to get groceries, and prepare our own meals in the dorm kitchen. One of the things I’d pick up from time to time was a…

Curry Noodles
•
I love mi kari. I love them a specific way, where the broth is creamy but not too rich or thick, with a good mix of toppings but not overboard or trying too hard. I also like the broth to be flavorful and bursting with umami, which I imagined should come from some form…

Mediterranean Baked Fish
•
Bought a kilo of really nice cod fillets from Seafood Maestro, some I used for the Fish Pie. I still had a few pieces left over, so I trawled the Internet for a recipe which is relatively simple to make, and with ingredients which will allow the flavor of the cod to really shine…

Fish Pie
•
Recently, enough visits to the doctor’s made everyone in my household realize that we all need to watch our cholestrol levels. One of the advice given by the dietician (long story) was to have fish much more frequently in a week. A few days prior, Mummy was also craving Shepherd’s Pie but felt very…
