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….

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…
Vegetarian Valentine’s Dinner
Valentine’s day. Ahhh… possibly the most dreaded day of all men. A day full of expectations, excitement, happiness and sometimes disappointment. The latter largely from the female species, unfortunately. Is it a surprise the thought of the V word (not the other one, tsk tsk) could send the men to a world of dilemmas, and…
Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
The only memory I have with Cannelloni was the bland and overcooked version from certain hospital cafeteria. Trust me, after one too many fake curries, chewy meat dishes and greasy fried rice there (I didn’t always bring my own lunch) your mind would strangely point you to somewhat ‘safe’ options of vegetarian pasta. Big mistake….
Claypot Tofu with Vegetables
It’s been nearly a week on the Vegetarian diet and so far so good! I’m a little obsessive and have been spending a lot of time typing up and revising my ‘diet plan’. I’ll let you have a look at it. By the way, I got the date of Chap Goh Meh* wrong so ignore…
The Quest for the Best Beef Burger in Kuala Lumpur
And that happens right here in my kitchen, as requested by Frank. Last sinful post before embarking on a vegetarian diet for 2 weeks. Who would have known that, some 120 years ago, that this ‘meat in a bun’ would take the world by storm? We have major fast food chains such as McDonald’s to…
Com Bo Luc Lac (Vietnamese Shaking Beef with Tomato Rice)
Another Vietnamese meal this week! I think I’ve well and truly satisfied my cravings by this stage. Needless to say, I’m also feeling very bloated from all the festive eating. I think another vegan week is in order. But first, let me present to you: Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef), another popular Vietnamese dish. No,…
Pan Fried Vegetarian Dumplings (Potstickers)
My addiction to Dumplings has to be traced all the way back to Melbourne. The frequent visits to Shanghai Noodle House during the student years (cheap, but service is nasty). The more refined Hu Tong for their Xiao Long Baos. Or the weekly work lunch at Ping’s Dumplings Bar in Clayton (Awesome vegetarian dumplings!). Back…
