Need an idea for a festive brunch but don’t want to work too hard on it because you have spent the whole night fussing about the Turkey, Glazed Ham with all the trimmings? What about some carrot fritters? Everyone would have a carrot or 3 lying around the fridge somewhere (that is, unless you are…

This Night Owl Loves Her Eggs
Are you a morning lark, or a night owl? Do you function best in the morning without the aid of caffeine or do you envy the ones who can? Believe it or not, our circadian clock might have something to do with our genes. Some studies (read up here and here) have even suggested the…
Breakfast is so much better with homemade bread
It’s yet another Saturday! There are so many events on today in the Klang Valley. MTV World Stage (not going because I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber, enough said), Bon Odori, Clinique Beach Party and TEDxKL. Yet I’m staying at home with a mild food poisoning from unknown source. I suspect it’s from the…
Got a hangover? Try the Baked Eggs
Whoa! Last night’s Heineken New Bottle Launch party was one hell of a night. Personally I’m more of a wine addict drinker (lower calories, better taste) but I got carried away with the beer. A new bottle kept being handed to me before I finish the one before. And to think I’m supposed to be on…
Vanilla Quinoa “Rice” Pudding
So it’s a rainy and somewhat cold morning and I woke up way too early. I suspect it’s to do with the pain in my hip. That’s right, I had yet another fall. Somebody please childproof this apartment! Sleep deprived, and wanting something soft and creamy, I’ve come up with a “Rice Pudding” except with…
Smashed Avocado and Feta on Toast
Ahh…. I don’t eat avocados enough. It’s mainly because the avocados here are all imported and can get quite expensive. (RM5.99 for one in Village grocer!) But from time to time I do get cravings for this incredibly creamy and delicious fruit. So when the craving strikes I just have to close my eyes and pick one…
Broccoli and Cauliflower Fritters
I remember there was a period corn fritters were all the ‘craze’ for brunch options. Suddenly all the cafes in Melbourne started churning out their own takes. That might have been why these delicious morsels sneaked in my weekend repertoire and so far has been the go-to dish when I don’t know what else to…
Shakshouka: The Breakfast of Champions
It’s not the first time I’ve proclaimed my love for eggs here. This blog should be called Kelly Siew Loves Eggs. Or something like that. I’m not very imaginative when it comes to names. And when it comes to egg dishes, Shakshouka would probably be top the list, excelling both the aesthetic department, and taste….
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…
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…
