  • Bayou Chicken Pasta

    Bayou Chicken Pasta

    Over the weekend I had a group of 10 come over for pot roast, and I was worried we wouldn’t have enough starch as a “filler” dish, so at the very last minute I decided to throw in another pasta dish to the menu.  I decided on this simple but incredibly delicious pasta, modified from the…

  • Condensed Milk Bread

    Condensed Milk Bread

    Saw this video from Savor Easy for a while now, but finally got around to trying it today. This bread uses sweetened condensed milk in the dough itself as well as in the glaze, and my oh my the bread is so soft and quite heavenly. If you have some glaze leftover, USE IT.…

  • Chicken Miso Ramen

    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.

  • Benggali Bread

    Benggali Bread

    When I was a kid, on weekends when we went to visit my brother in boarding school, we’d stop by a market in Batu Enam to buy Benggali bread rolls filled with kaya. The bread was simple, soft but not milky, and the kaya was the cheapo diluted type unlike the fancy gourmet ones…

  • Chicken Chashu Chahan (Fried Rice)

    Chicken Chashu Chahan (Fried Rice)

    I still had some chicken chashu leftover but not much ramen left to use it as a topping, so I resorted to the most common thing Asians would do with leftovers: make fried rice!

  • Swedish Meatballs

    Swedish Meatballs

    Been ages since we’ve been to IKEA. Window shopping or filling our carts with cool stuff we don’t need is fun, sure, but usually the highlight of our IKEA trips is usually lunch at their cafeteria. We’d order the usual staples like the fried chicken wings, grilled salmon, and of course the meatballs.

  • Chicken Yakisoba

    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…

  • Mozzarella & Turkey Ham Stromboli

    Mozzarella & Turkey Ham Stromboli

    Many many years ago I made this lovely stromboli recipe from 500 Pizzas & Flatbreads. I was still such a newbie back then and my skills were pretty rough, so during my last attempt my stromboli were quite misshapen and uneven. What was certain, however, was how amazingly good these savory rolls were.

  • Curry Noodles

    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

    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…
