Melbourne Culinary Journey: Birdman Eating

Birdman Eating is another restaurant that I have read about several times and had not the chance the visit previously. Situated in Fitzroy, a suburb that Frank has developed a soft spot for, the name comes from the famous Birdman rally during Moomba festival held yearly in Melbourne. If you don’t know about the Birdman…

Melbourne Culinary Journey: Brunch at Mr Tulk

I’m back in Kuala Lumpur again and this time with a few extra pounds. I tend to lose my willpower when it comes to holidays. But one wise man once said: “Don’t waste your calories on bad food”, and I think I am a prime example of that. Heh. So I thought about how to…

Melbourne, Here I come!

It’s highly likely that this blog will be quiet for a little more than a week as I make my way to Melbourne for a little retreat. Looking forward to trying the new exciting places that have sprouted since I’ve been away. Meanwhile, you could follow my updates on twitter, or facebook even, to see…

Beef and Vegetables Lasagna with Truffle Oil

It’s always useful to have a few recipes that you know by heart. Most of our moms probably cook everything without measurements of any kind. The basic meat sauce recipe is a good one to start with. Apart from the classic beef lasagna, you could use it with Spaghetti for your classic Spag Bol. You…

Bibimbap (Korean Mixed Rice)

Bibimbap is one of the most iconic Korean dish, next to the Kimchi. It’s commonly served in households and also restaurants. It literally means mixed rice, or mixed bowl. Tradiotionally, this is a dish the Korean housewives would make with various delectable leftovers in the fridge. And as you can see, there are a wide…

Zucchini and Broccoli Slice

I do apologize for the few days of hiatus. I’ve been back in Bintulu for my cousin’s wedding. The trip itself was ok, although I did get a bad case of hayfever due to the renovations going on at my house. Main thing is I’ve spent a few days relaxing with family and enjoyed the…

Pan Fried Salmon, Spinach Quinoa, and Mango Salsa

The first time I’ve ever had Quinoa was in Newmarket Hotel, St Kilda. At the time I didn’t know exactly what it was and thought it was a type of grain. Wrong. It’s actually a ‘grain-like’ crop grown for its seeds. Or so Wiki tells me. Even though it has been consumed by the Incas…

Spanish Style Baked Eggs

Whenever I see baked eggs on a menu, I’d have to order it. I’d even skip the Eggs Benedict for this. Serious. It’s the kind of dish that makes a gloomy day seems so much brighter, the birds sing, and my heart smiles. How does the heart look like when it smiles? Errr….. I prefer…

Appearing in “The Star”

The wonders of social media landed me an opportunity to be interviewed by Rage, The Star, a local newspaper. In the article, I talked about how I plan my meals using a food plan and the abundance of resources online to help us do that. Here’s is my updated food plan for the rest of…

Linguine with Peanut Sauce

So I have joined Pinterest, out of a moment of boredom (I’ve been having a lot of that lately). As predicted, Frank’s reaction: “One more social media site? Haven’t you already joined about a million?” Right, right, I’m a sucker when it comes to these. I’m also who you’d call a marketer’s dream. But that’s…
