As a Chinese, I love stir fry dishes with lots of gravy or sauce that I can spoon over my rice and enjoy. My mum does a fantastic stir fried chicken in dark soy sauce with crispy ginger which I have been eating for umpteen years and this is a dish I will NEVER get bored of.Stir fried chicken in dark soy...
Beautiful morning here in KL.. glorious day!The sun and sky is so orange..
Have you tried a savoury muffin before? I saw this recipe for corn and bacon muffins on Curtis Stone's website which got me curious and Joyce also made this, and she said it was good, so I was even more tempted to try. I had some leftover corn and bacon, after making the corn, bacon and potato...
One of our regular dim sum spots in Cheras is Hong Kee Restaurant located in Taman Connaught. The dim sum fare here is good, and the restaurant is comfortable as it is air-conditioned. Service is good most of the time, though it can be pretty slow.Over here at Hong Kee, the dim sum are loaded into a trolley...
When dining in a Japanese restaurant (especially when we're having sushi or sashimi course), a small dish of pickled ginger would always be present at our table. Pickled ginger, known as Gari ガリ in Japanese, is a type of tsukemono (pickled vegetables) and is usually used as a palate cleanser.It is made...
I am not sure why Curtis Stone called this a banana bread because it tastes more like a cake (to me), but what I DO know is that this is one delicious bake. It is moist with a beautiful crust, with copious amounts of walnuts. My family was certainly impressed.Banana walnut breadThe "Mummy and Baby D"...

During our family trip to Scotland, we had quite many outdoor activities planned. We were quite lucky that it stayed dry most of the time and a few days into our trip, the weather got warmer and some days we were even blessed with temperatures above 20°C.Our kids love going to the zooand also had so...
It was an impromptu decision to make this soup. I was at the wet market yesterday morning and saw some really nice sweetcorn. I remember seeing a recipe by Curtis Stone on Coles website for corn, bacon and potato chowder and another blogger friend, Lian also made it and it looked good.Corn, bacon and potato...

It has been raining almost evening here in KL, which makes it quite difficult for us to visit the Ramadan Bazaars. Finally, it stayed dry last weekend so we proceed to visit another bazaar nearby, the Ramadan Bazaar Alam Damai.The bazaar is located in the car park near OCBC bank.There are only...
Most people would probably cringe at the idea of having to cook while on holiday, but I was so excited about the fresh produce that we can get in the UK that I cooked at least 50% of our meals there. Even the kids seem to enjoy the food there better - I was happy that during the trip, they ate lots of...
Almost every vegetable stall in the wet market that morning had bunches of Thai baby asparagus for sale. It must be the season for them. Thai baby asparagus are long and thin, and requires minimal cooking time.We bought a couple of bundles home since we love eating asparagus. A quick, easy and nice...
The pepino dulce plant in my garden, also known as solanum muricatum. The taste is a cross between a honeydew melon and cucumber. The fruit is a purple hue with purple stripes and becomes more yellow as it ripens.
Ramadan Bazaars - don't you just love them? Not only can we find a huge variety of local food here, we love taking in the sights and smells, as well as the friendly faces of the vendors (whom all very sportingly posed for photos for us too). For the past two years, we have been taking our kids to the Pasar...
This weekend when we were at Mid Valley, we checked out the newly opened Akachan no Hoppe. The brand originates from the city of Itoigawa, Niigata prefecture of Japan and serves freshly made Japanese mochis. Akachan no Hoppe literally translates to "baby cheeks" and is made from the finest ingredients fully...
Ah.... the craving for a good plate of sang har meen (freshwater prawn noodles) has hit us again! And whenever that happens, there is only one place to go to -- Pan Heong Restaurant in Batu Caves.Look at the size of my prawn ;PWe visited on a rainy weekend morning, and by 9am the place was packed full...
I have just made some homemade pesto that morning. When I was browsing Curtis Stone's website for more recipes I can make for "Cook Like a Star", his recipe for pesto-glazed chicken breast with spaghetti caught my attention - I like it for its simplicity and ease of making as well as it being a really...
We were bringing the kids to Codona's Amusement Park, down by the beach.It was a cold and windy morning and we quickly selected a restaurant to seek refuge at. Among all the restaurants by the beach front, we pickedThe Pier Bistro since it was quite busy, had an interesting menu, andlooked...
