  • Pierogi (Polish dumplings)

    Pierogi (Polish dumplings)

    My obsession with dumplings continues, and this time I stumbled upon a recipe of a less expected origin: Poland. I’m following @fatdadcooks on Instagram, and one day I saw him post a photo of pan-fried pierogies he got from a friend. Curious, I started looking up recipes for pierogies. Apparently there are so many…

  • 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…

  • Horlicks Bread

    Horlicks Bread

    I generally like Horlicks, but I noticed that it is slowly disappearing from day to day life. Many eateries no longer offer Horlicks on their beverage menu, although a few places like the wonderful Inside Scoop has Horlicks ice cream (yum!) I wondered how Horlicks put in bread would taste like, so here I…

  • 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…

  • Breadmaker Italian Bread

    Breadmaker Italian Bread

    Needed some hearty bread to serve with my beef stew, and also wanted to make some grilled cheese sandwiches, so settled for this super basic Italian bread recipe, based on the recipe by Brooklyn Farm Girl.
