Weekend Cooking: Crispy Curry Puff Pastry
•
I discovered that I had some frozen leftover Kentang Bol filling, so I decided to throw together a quick afternoon snack, and made some (not-so-curry) curry puffs. This is the recipe for just the pastry, which is really light and crispy; you can use whatever filling you like, actually (empanadas, anyone?). Next time I’m thinking of subbing…

Weekend Cooking: Baked Chicken Alfredo Pasta
•
I had some leftover alfredo sauce in the fridge, and decided to make something simple for dinner. I remembered that I had shared a recipe by Gimme Some Oven on Facebook a few weeks back, and it became my inspiration for dinner tonight. Yummy and light yet very easy to make, this comfort dish is perfect for…

Weekend Cooking: Fish Bukhari Rice
•
During our last trip to the market, I asked Kak’mbang to pick up some fish for making this dish I was curious about, by Chef Ammar. She took the fish out of the freezer today thinking I was going to make it for dinner, but honestly it almost slipped my mind. When I remembered,…

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: Sweet Honey Cornbread
•
I was writing a draft of a different recipe I planned on making soon, and when looking for tips for making good cornbread, I stumbled upon this simple but yummy looking recipe on NotJustBaked.com. I’ve tried several different cornbread recipes before and didn’t find one that I particularly liked, but this one was amazing. Despite using…

Mary Ryan’s Chicken Pie
•
This one has been on the back burner for a while (yes the kitchen expression was deliberate. Haha!), but I finally had all the ingredients and equipment I needed on hand. I totally underestimated how much time it would take to make these, so what was originally supposed to be last night’s dinner ended up being…

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…

Weekend Cooking: Kak’mbang’s Cek Mek Molek
•
I bought some large sweet potatoes recently to make something else, but days turned to weeks and they were still sitting in the basket, sprouting whiskers. Kak’mbang asked when exactly am I planning to do anything with them, and being super lazy I decided to ask her to make one of my favourite traditional Malay…

•
The Dinner Club is back, and this time the theme is… Tex Mex! I decided to bring back some old favourites while trying out new recipes, so the menu was as follows: Taco Salad | Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Con Queso | Chicken Enchiladas The main dish of the night was of course the enchiladas,…

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…
