Did you have a good weekend? I sure did! Weekends are always eventful for me as I gig almost every Friday and Saturday. Best thing about performing in a bar/restaurant setting is that I often catch up with my friends at the same time. It’s great doing what you love as a ‘job’. And Sundays?…

Cha Soba
There are times I fire up the laptop and open up WordPress but stares at it for hours without knowing what to write. Similarly, there are days, though not often, I’d stare at my pantry not knowing what to cook. I’m blaming the weather (the weather gets a lot of blaming from me I must…
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….
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…
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…
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…
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…
