Chicken Mandy with Rice
•
It’s Ramadan and every few days or so we inevitably end up breaking fast with friends or family at one of the many wonderful iftar sessions, be it at restaurants or five-star hotels. I recently had a lovely buka puasa with my former colleagues at Dua Sentral, where they brought in some absolutely delicious nasi Arab from Restoran…

Air-fryer Donat Susu
•
As always, during the month of Ramadan, the uber-famous Malaysian cooking content creator Khairul Aming (@khairulaming) shared a video of him making Donat Susu, which apparently went viral for some time. Honestly I didn’t even know this was a thing until I saw his post, nonetheless the idea of using sweetened condensed milk in…

Nasi Daging
•
It’s Ramadan, and the Movement Control Order (MCO) is in effect resulting in the surge of home cooks, so there are tons of yummy looking recipes flying around on the Internet. The Bestie shared this Nasi Daging (beef rice) recipe from daridapur.com, and it looked simply amazing. I’ve had nasi daging several times in…

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)
•
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…

Moroccan Chickpea Soup
•
Made a few more soups for Mummy to try. A few ingredients I recently tried were tomato, which was yummy but too light, and corn which was too heavy. Since Mummy liked the lentil soup I made I figured other types of beans would also make decent soups with the right amount of heartiness,…

Ramadan Cooking: Eman’s Chicken Mandy
•
It’s the last weekend of Ramadan. Gosh, time really flies. I wanted to make Chef Wan’s briyani gam with chicken kuzi, but I was missing a few ingredients and I’ll only be going to the market tomorrow. Since I’ll also be eating out tomorrow, if I wanted to make something, tonight was my only window of…

Karnataka-style Chicken Briyani
•
Last Ramadan I was binging on Middle Eastern recipes, but this year I stumbled upon this YouTube channel called Get Curried and was intrigued by their selection of Indian recipes. At first I wanted to try their butter chicken, but it’s the weekend and I should do something fancier and Mom also suggested I…

Ramadan Cooking: Shuraba (Meat and Oat Soup)
•
Mummy has been losing weight of late, and I’ve been trying out various soup recipes for her to have some variety in her diet. I wanted to keep things interesting enough for her to want to eat, while at the same time provide her with all the necessary nutrition to stay healthy. Since it’s…

Ramadan Cooking: Shrimp Scampi Pasta
•
I found some really nice (albeit expensive) shrimp at B.I.G. recently, and at the same time was having such a craving for pasta. I’ve mentioned previously that I really love the shrimp scampi at Tony Roma’s, although over the years they seemed to have modified the recipe or something and even that has lost…
