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…

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…

Fish Pie
•
Recently, enough visits to the doctor’s made everyone in my household realize that we all need to watch our cholestrol levels. One of the advice given by the dietician (long story) was to have fish much more frequently in a week. A few days prior, Mummy was also craving Shepherd’s Pie but felt very…

Duck Fat Mashed Potatoes Recipe
•
We had friends over for steak dinner, and I offered to make the sides and starches. On the menu was my Bayou Chicken Pasta, breadmaker brioche, and I wanted some mashed potatoes to go with the giant steaks we bought. I’ve tried a few mashed potato recipes in the past, but most were really…

Portuguese Duck Rice

I was eating meh duck rice the other day, then remembered the whole duck I had in the freezer. I wanted to try making my own duck rice at home, so I started looking around for (Chinese-style) recipes, only to stumble upon this interesting Portuguese version. The ingredients and steps were quite simple, so…

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.

Steak and Mushroom Pie
•
When I first started cooking I basically had one go-to chef for most recipes I wanted to try – Emeril Lagasse. In the beginning I focused more on so-called Western dishes – pies, pasta, and casseroles – and one of my earliest attempts on pies was this steak and mushroom pie. Last time I…

Prejean’s Potato Salad
•
I’m on a short break before starting a new job next month, and Kak’mbang has gone back to Terengganu and will only be back at the end of the week. We’ve been eating leftovers and takeout for the past few days, so today I made Smoked Duck and Sausage Gumbo for dinner, for a…

Ramadan Cooking: Peri-peri Sausage Rolls
•
Ramadan mubarak, everyone! I can’t believe a year went by so fast. Since I get off work an hour early, again I try to make small dishes like appetisers and snacks for breaking fast. I still have a few bottles of Nando’s PERi-PERi sauce in the larder, so I looked through their website for…
