  • Crescia al Formaggio

    Crescia al Formaggio

    Tons of Parmesan in the freezer for me to clear out. Best place to get ideas for good bread recipes is of course King Arthur Flour, and this Crescia al Formaggio came up quite highly rated. This was a rather low-touch bread which didn’t need much work, but required quite some patience due to…

  • Chinese Beef Pies (Xian Bing)

    Chinese Beef Pies (Xian Bing)

    This recipe from XiaoGaoJie (小高姐) came up in my YouTube feed and looked super interesting. I finally busted out my KitchenAid Artisan mixer, and made both the dough and the filling using it.

  • Savory Cheese Bread

    Savory Cheese Bread

    Recipes from the King Arthur Flour website often call for cheese powder and I got quite curious about it, so I bought some from the recent Lazada 8.8. sale. I bought extra to get Free Shipping, so I was very eager to start using up this new ingredient. This Savory Cheese Bread recipe from…

  • Cheese Buns

    Cheese Buns

    I’ve had that block of Kraft Cheddar in the fridge for ages now. I think I bought it to use for a different recipe, but never got around to do it. Fast forward to today and I really want to clear out ingredients from the fridge ASAP, so here I picked a super quick…

  • Luncheon Meat Gyoza

    Luncheon Meat Gyoza

    Bought halal chicken luncheon meat from Lolili. Each portion is about 300 grams, and I would usually use half of it in each of the luncheon meat dishes I make. Okay maybe not all dishes. I made the super-yummy Sweet & Sour Luncheon Meat with Potatoes and I decided to use the whole thing.…

  • Breadmaker Wu Pao Chun Champion Toast Bread

    Breadmaker Wu Pao Chun Champion Toast Bread

    I’m on quite a few Facebook groups related to breadmaking and breadmaker usage, and quite often I see folks posting their Wu Pao Chun bread. I was wondering what this was all about, and many times those posts didn’t come with the recipe. One day Rudy shared with me the link to the recipe…

  • Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes

    Sweet & Sour Chicken Luncheon Meat with Potatoes

    Recently Rudy ordered a few items from Lolili’s Delights, which sells halal Chinese delicacies like bakkwa, chang, stuff that was completely inaccessible to us in the past. Among the few things we bought was the luncheon meat, and I wasn’t sure how best to use it. Searched online and found this really simple, yummy…

  • Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    Anyone who has seen the movie Chef starring Jon Favreau would probably remember the scene with the absolutely decadent-looking grilled cheese sandwich. In the early days after watching the film, I practically fantasized about how gooey the cheese might be, and what the different cheeses might taste like. At long last, after quite a…

  • Shrimp and Turkey Ham Jambalaya

    Shrimp and Turkey Ham Jambalaya

    Wanted to do another round of clearing up the freezer and larder. I found my stash of turkey ham and happily about half a liter of homemade shrimp stock in the freezer, and there was a can of whole peeled tomatoes in the larder. Dug through my fridge and found all the necessary ingredients…

  • Momo (Nepali Dumplings)

    Momo (Nepali Dumplings)

    So I was talking to my colleagues at work about food and dumplings and yummy stuff to eat, when Shu mentioned momos. Momos are Nepalese dumplings, she said, and you eat them with chutney. To me, that sounded simply wonderful. I have always loved dumplings, and I also thoroughly enjoy making them especially the…
