We love Scottish smoked salmon! Although we can get them in KL, it comes with a high price tag... so when we were in Scotland for our holidays, we ensured that we ate our fair share of it! One of the mornings, we made this scrambled egg and smoked salmon wrap for breakfast and it was delicious.We used...
Last weekend, we were at Pavilion KL to pick up some Line soft toys we won from a giveaway. After that, we decided to have lunch in the mall before heading home. Decided to try Ichiban Boshi since I was craving for Japanese food (again!).The restaurant is located on the 1st Floor; it is pretty...
One of the simplest, most satisfying breakfasts that we often had while on holiday in Scotland was poached eggs on avocado toasts. I love how we are able to walk into any supermarkets here and get a ripe avocado, which is ready to eat right away. Unlike in Malaysia where most of the avocados are still green...
Hubby and I wanted to have mussels for dinner, so we looked through our cookbooks for a quick bread recipe. I bookmarked this beer bread recipe from Gordon Ramsay, but never got around to making it as I wasn't keen in serving beer bread to the kids. Since it was just me and Hubby having dinner that day, it...

So I decided to whip up a quick and easy vegetarian omelette for our breakfast.For our vegetarian omelette, I added thinly sliced zucchini, red onion and topped it with some mozzarella cheese for an oozy,...
Do you remember trying a dish and not liking it, and deciding never to try it again? A long time ago, I was served a dry piece of cooked salmon and from then, I decided cooked salmon was not for me. That however did not stop me from eating raw salmon (aka sashimi), in fact it is one of my favorite...
Steak and fries, you can't go wrong with this combination. Great for an easy weeknight dinner - after picking the kids up from school, dinner can be served in under 15 minutes.I usually use O'Connor rib eye steaks and we are very happy with this cut of meat. Cooked to a beautiful medium doneness, this was...
You may have seen this on My Kitchen Angel post last week.Steamed fish is always a welcome sight on our dinner table. Since there are so few ingredients involved in making this dish, it is crucial to use the freshest fish available as well as high-quality soy sauce. This will allow the natural sweetness of...

We finally made the effort to visit Top Catch Fisheries in OUG last week when our sashimi cravings kicked in. Parking in that area is a bit of a problem, so we parked a little further way and walked to the shop.Top Catch Fisheries is essentially a fishmonger, albeit in a clean, air-conditioned...
Whenever I run out of ideas of what to cook for a quick lunch, a box of frozen mussels always comes in handy. This time, I steamed them in a spicy tomato sauce - I added in some chilli flakes to give a hint of spiciness to the tomato sauce and dried basil, as well as some fresh basil just before...
At home, we will usually have the Malaysian-style bak kut tehat least once a week when the weather is cooler. A couple of months ago, I tried the Singapore-style bak kut teh during one of my staycations over in Singapore and really liked it, so I thought why not try making it at home for...
We had a packet of gnocchi (which we got from here), and after giving it some thought, I decided to serve it with a nice rib eye steak. Gnocchi are thick dough dumplings made from potato and flour, with a soft and chewy texture.These gnocchi were easy to cook - just cook in boiling salted water for 2...

Our family are big fans of the cuisine, and furthermore, we have heard lots of good things about the restaurant.Iketeru serves both modern and traditional Japanese cuisine in a serene setting.
One of our families favorite pasta sauce is pesto. Particularly the homemade version. Our boy especially enjoys the whole pesto-making process, be it with the pestle and mortar or the food processor (lately we've been using the latter as it's more convenient). It begins with plucking the sweet basil leaves...
Spaghetti is high on the list for "BabySumoKids Favorite Foods". They always smile widely when they see it on the dinner table. A couple of weeks ago, we got this squid ink spaghetti (from here) which I cooked for dinner, but I was a little worried at first that the kids may not be able to accept it due to...
