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…

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

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…
