  • Prawn Panzerotti

    Prawn Panzerotti

    Got some really good saltwater shrimp from Everfresh the other day, and I was looking for more ideas for simple meals for sahur during this Ramadan. I’ve made steamed buns and burger buns using my Kenwood BM450 breadmaker, so now I’m revisiting very old pizza recipes using the new equipment I have on hand.

  • Japanese Meat Buns (Nikuman)

    Japanese Meat Buns (Nikuman)

    I’ve always loved Japan, their wonderful country, culture and food. Oftentimes when I visit a konbini like Lawson or Family Mart I’d stare longingly at the selection of steamed buns, especially the nikuman, and wonder what they taste like. Of course I’ll never know for real, as they are most certainly made of pork…

  • Breadmaker Milo Buns

    Breadmaker Milo Buns

    I’ve been putting off making this recipe for a while now, and finally got around to it today. We got a jar of Ovomaltine Crunchy Spread from Tiffany , and I figured a malted chocolate spread would be a great match for these Milo buns. These buns are pillowy soft, and the crunch from…

  • Wonton Noodle Soup

    Wonton Noodle Soup

    I love dumplings, and I love noodles in soup. To me at least, they are the ultimate comfort food. When both are combined into a single, yummy dish, that just takes it to the next level. Imagine a gloomy, rainy night, tucking into a large steaming bowl of soupy noodles topped with wontons bursting…

  • Char Siu Buns (Chicken version)

    Char Siu Buns (Chicken version)

    I love dim sum. Dolly Dim Sum, Luk Yu Tea House and Lai Po Heen are my favorite places in KL for good dim sum, but unfortunately it’s not often that I get a chance to enjoy their food. One of the typical dim sum I would order are the BBQ chicken buns, or…

  • Seared Crispy Skin Duck Breast with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes

    Seared Crispy Skin Duck Breast with Duck Fat Fried Potatoes

    Bought some duck breast from Tesco then took my own sweet time to make something from it. Ended up with this simple enough dish, to satisfy your duck cravings without the hassle of roasting a whole bird. Watch out the roasting times; overcooking the duck will result in dry, tougher meat. The original recipe…

  • Homemade Bagels

    Homemade Bagels

    I love bagels. Especially the ones freshly toasted and slathered with a ton of cream cheese. Top it with some yummy smoked salmon and you’ll have a complete breakfast. I tried making my own bagels before which turned out pretty yummy, however it wasn’t very long before they became a bit stale. So I…

  • Red Bean Cookies – Grandma’s Legendary Recipe

    Red Bean Cookies – Grandma’s Legendary Recipe

    My (mysterious) Grandma made red bean cookies that were practically legendary in my family. Unfortunately I was not blessed with the opportunity to savour the real deal, but Abang Fauzi definitely remembers watching her make the cookies, and among my siblings I think he loved them the most.

  • Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    It’s so hard to find good bagels in KL. I can name a couple of bakeries selling it, but can’t say they are particularly spectacular. One day I had a major craving for bagels, so I looked up a few recipes and picked up the one by Sophisticated Gourmet, which didn’t seem too complicated…

  • Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    Weekend Cooking: Sausage Meatballs with Red Gravy

    This was a recipe I made a long, long time ago for Hari Raya celebrations, and at the point of time I haven’t started blogging my culinary exploits just yet. The recipe is from Emeril’s Potluck, and as you probably can imagine, this makes a potluck-sized batch.
