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….
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…
Luscious Potato Gratin with Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Bleu Cheese.
Having a partner in the pub business means that often our meal times could be quite unpredictable. More so for him as I’m usually the one waiting for him to get off work. Sometimes, he’d fend for himself. More often than not, he’d come home with a massive appetite and hunger. Which means sometimes I…
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…
