Weekend Cooking: Mak Long’s Baked Macaroni (Makaroni Bakar)
•
I usually make my casseroles truly “Western-style” – full of ground meats, dried herbs like oregano, thyme and parsley, and a lot of cheese. A while back Kak’mbang asked me to try making baked macaroni casserole “Malay-style,” which uses common local spices and eggs as the primary binding agent. Every now and then I’d surf…

Potluck: Cheeseburger Sliders
•
I saw a video by Tastemade some time ago on how to make 4 types of sliders, and I knew I had to try making them. I was going to make the cheeseburger sliders for a potluck tonight, but the host came down with fever and had to cancel (get well soon, Elle!). I was really looking…

Potluck: Tuna Tetrazzini
•
This dish was one of the earliest recipes I’ve tried making, when I first starting cooking for fun. I basically stuck to one chef on Food Network – Emeril Lagasse – and generally his dishes turn out great. I started bringing his dishes to office potlucks, and they never disappoint. This tuna tetrazzini is super comforting…

Potluck: Stovetop Mac and Cheese
•
Over the weekend Rudy had a few friends over for a potluck hi-tea of sorts, and given that it was Sunday afternoon I wanted to make something really simple and quick. Mac and cheese came to mind, and up until then I never could find any recipe that I would make again. This one…

Office Potluck: Lasagne
•
A few of my colleagues will be moving out from my floor to a different building, so we decided to throw a farewell potluck of sorts (an excuse to eat good food is always welcome), and one of them was craving lasagne. Since it has been quite a while since I made it, I decided to…

Weekend Cooking: Creamy Smoked Chicken Pie
•
I went grocery shopping today, and was planning to just make some dumpling soup for dinner tonight. Then I saw that they were clearing out their stock of smoked chicken at half price, so I did a quick search online for recipe ideas, and landed on this one. I tweaked the recipe with what I had on…

Weekend Cooking: Mac and Cheese
•
I wanted something to go with the peri-peri wings I made yesterday, and decided on a comfort food classic – mac and cheese. I’ve tried all sorts of recipes before, and honestly not a single one of them blew my mind, even though they were generally good. This time I based my recipe on the…

Chicken Enchiladas
•
The Dinner Club is back, and this time the theme is… Tex Mex! I decided to bring back some old favourites while trying out new recipes, so the menu was as follows: Taco Salad | Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Con Queso | Chicken Enchiladas The main dish of the night was of course the enchiladas,…

Weekend Cooking: Chicken Spaghetti
•
Been out of the home-cooking scene for quite a while now. Recently, out of sheer boredom I started browsing through the Food Network website and finally discovered Ree Drummond. Her recipes look simple, inexpensive and quite comfort food-ish; totally my kind of food. So over the weekend I decided to try out one of…

Chicken in a Box
•
This event actually started off as a simple gathering among friends to share a whole pile of uneaten chocolates. At the same time I wanted to try out Emeril’s fried chicken recipe, and needed guinea pi– I mean, food tasters. Then after some thought I figured I wouldn’t be right serving just fried chicken…
