I’ve been re-reading a lot of 亦舒‘s (Yi Shu) books lately, thanks to the free download on iPad. Though she has published over 180 books including novels and short stories of different genres, she writes mainly romance novels, set in modern day Hong Kong, or Canada (she has migrated there). Most of the main characters under her…
Pan Fried Salmon with Lemon Mustard Sauce, Potato Galette and Green Beans.
Here’s another somewhat healthy dish, if you ignore the fact that it contains butter. Butter might not be good for your heart but it’s good for your soul. True Story. Sure I could substitute it with Olive oil but wouldn’t be as fun now, would it? I like my salmon simply rubbed with salt and…
Roasted Zucchini Pasta (and Happy Belated New Year)
A very belated New Years greeting for all you of out there. 2011 has been a pretty good year. May the 2012 bring you lots of happiness, good food, and good health. Hands up who has been feasting up a storm during the silly season? I know I’m guilty. Though with the ankle injury it…
Naughty Christmas Dinner
How many of you are still recovering from Christmas? I know I am. I unfortunately sustained an ankle injury and a massively bruised knee following a failed stunt performance with one too many Long Island Iced Teas on Christmas Eve. Yeah. Ouch. I did think I was still 21. So there I was on Christmas…
Merry Sid’s-Xmas!!
It’s no secret that I dine frequently at Sid’s Pubs, having a partner working for this chain is one of the reason, the pork burger is another (with cheese and egg, always). But mostly, our friends love the pubs too and we have our frequent ‘mabuk sessions’ there. Of course, this place holds a special…
Make Your Own Cranberry Sauce
Wow, December sure is a hectic month! I’ve been running around like a headless chook (or turkey, to be festive) getting Xmas shopping done. Today alone, we’ve visited three shopping centres in total. One to pick up some gifts, one for groceries, last one for items that the other supermarket didn’t have. And our fridge…
A Pizza heaven
Prior to meeting me, Frank had a typical bachelor diet consisting of beer and pizzas, with Domino’s number on speed dial. Fortunately these days, although not yet a fine example of perfect diet, he has kicked the long term pizza habit but from time to time would request for it. And most of the time…
Jerk Chicken: Because it never calls!
Sometimes I cook dishes that I’ve never tried before. By that I mean in a restaurant or food outlet. I’m easily intrigued by interesting recipes and would just made the dishes without knowing what it SHOULD taste like. Nevertheless with cross checking of different recipes you’ll usually get a pretty good idea of what it…
Childhood Favourite: Fried Lao Shu Fen (Silver Needle Noodles)
My grandma is a super cook in all aspect. Growing up, we always have endless supply of food lovingly prepared by her, such as Ang Jiu (Red rice wine) Chicken Soup (she made her own rice wine), Chwee Kueh, Ang Gu Kueh, Kacangma (Chicken dish made with Kacangma herb and rice wine, also cognac sometimes….
Ben’s Pavilion Kuala Lumpur: Best New Restaurant of the Year?
Frank and I have regular date nights. While it’s lovely to savour a home cooked meal then curl up on the couch together enjoying one of the movies from his ginormous collection, it’s also important for us to occasionally dine out, do some window shopping, soak in the busy city atmosphere etc etc. Seeing that…
