Prawns in Blankets

A while ago we had an impromptu BBQ party at a friend’s. Initially the idea was to make ‘tons of Buffalo Wings’ and plonk ourselves in front of the TV for movie marathon. But the idea soon transformed because we ‘discovered’ a rather unloved BBQ nestling at Ralph’s balcony. And with that, several other dishes…

Poached Egg, Salmon, Quinoa Cakes and Wilted Spinach

When it comes to eggs, there’s no denying how versatile they are. It’s impossible to count ways you could use an egg. But when it comes to breakfast, usually the simplest form suffice. I mean, who can resist a perfectly poached egg, that when you cut into it, gorgeous runny yolk flows out like nobody’s…

Chicken Piccata with Spaghetti

Wow! It sure has been super hot over the past week or so. I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to the heat. Everytime I go out, I suffer a headache and worse still I start feeling faint and dizzy. Can’t keep up the water intake with the water loss! Needless to say, I can’t be more thankful…

Dak Galbi (Korean Spicy Fried Chicken)

Several weeks ago, my friend Louise and I visited a Korean restaurant in Solaris Mont Kiara “Uncle Jang”, which specialises in Dak Galbi. It was my first experience and boy I was hooked. For the uninitiated, Dak Galbi is a dish consisting of spicy marinated chicken pieces, stir fried with various vegetables, plus or minus…

Angel Hair Aglio Olio with Broccoli and Mushrooms

My appetite has been rather poor for the past week or so. I suppose this has to do with the out-of-whack sleeping pattern. The constant drilling next door starting from early mornings doesn’t help (Why do they need to drill for the whole week from 9-5??). I remember reading somewhere that constant noise do have…

Ratatouille with Quinoa

Many of us have come to know this adorable sounding dish Ratatouille from the hugely successful Pixar animation movie of the namesake. The cooking rat has indeed captured the hearts of many. I bet the sales of eggplants, red capsicums and zucchini went sky high following the release of the movie. And I am guilty…

Cheddar Biscuits

As promised, more frequent blog posts. I actually have a few more reviews to write but for some reason I just don’t know how to start. Perhaps these places are not exciting enough for me to wax lyrical over them. Or maybe I’m just ‘better’ at sharing recipes. Either way, this definitely helps me to…

Hot Cross Buns

Happy Easter to everyone! How have you been spending your long weekend? I spent most of yesterday recovering from an epic hangover.  But Friday night was spent with excellent company and delicious food. Perfect. This post is 2 days late, as Hot Cross Buns are meant to be consumed on Good Friday, which we did….

Curried Carrot Soup for a Rainy day, or Anytime really.

Living in a tropical country means we have to endure the same hot and humid weather all year round. The only saving grace is, of course, the rain. Having said that it’s only nice if you are indoors and planning to stay that way for a little while because KL turns into a massive car…
