Chicken wings are a big favorite with our family, so I try to make it once a month for them. Last week, I made honey soy roasted chicken wings, and it was a big hit! Both kids ate 2 whole wings and were licking their fingers at the end of it. That's what I like to see - kids with good appetites ;)Honey soy...
What time is it?It's Cookie O'Clock ;)This school holidays, we did a fair bit of baking at home. One of the things the kids really enjoyed making were German cookies. We made them before twice during CNY, and even then, they had enjoyed the simple tasks of rolling the dough into balls and then imprinting...
When we were growing up, our parents took us to Tc Keong in Seremban on a weekly basis as it is our favorite大炒 dai chow restaurant. A must-order for us here is the stir fried beef with oyster sauce and spring onions. Even our kids who frequent this place with my parents whenever they're visiting,...
I only snapped one photo of this dish for Instagram as I wasn't planning to post a recipe for this. But it turned out really nice and the kids enjoyed it so much that I decided after that meal that I should blog about it so other mommies can try this for their kids. A really simple and easy one to do!I...
Hello everybody! It's "Kids in the Kitchen" time again ;)The kids were itching to bake in the kitchen, so I looked up an easy recipe that they can do and found this recipe for "Chorley Cakes" in James Martin's cookbook. Chorley cake is a flattened, fruit filled shortcrust pastry cake originating from the...
Our kids are still on school holidays, which means lots of time for leisurely breakfasts in the morning. This week, we made French toast, and served it with honey yogurt, blueberries, almond flakes and dried cranberries. The kids loved it!Honey yogurt is a great alternative to whipped cream and it's pretty...
Have you ever heard of "pine nut syndrome" or "pine mouth"? In the past, we have always made our pesto using pine nuts (authentic Italian recipes call for it) but on one occasion, I made it and then suddenly everything tasted bitter and metallic, leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I googled it and found out...
Last weekend, we had pork-free dim sum for brunch and it was pretty nice. So this week, when I was craving for char siew (and I was too lazy to go to the wet market to get pork belly), I thought "Let's make pork-free char siew" aka chicken char siu 雞叉燒.I tweaked my char siu marinade recipe (left...
After checking out from the hotel, we decided to stop for strawberry picking before heading home. This time, we decided to check out Mini Cameron Highlands Garden which is located on the left side of the road heading back to KL after you pass the "security check" castle-looking place at Genting / Gohtong...
Growing up, my favorite noodle was wantan mee... and even now, I still love eating it. When I was younger, I didn't really care much about the char siew, but what enticed me was the springy noodles and the delicious sauce coating the noodles.So, the other day, I was craving for wantan mee, but I was...
Lately, we've been seeing lots of bread made using Le Creuset Dutch Oven's so we decided to jump on the bandwagon too. Well, Hubby did - my job this time is purely EATING!This is a pretty straightforward recipe - activate the yeast, knead the dough, rise, punch down, second rise and then bake. The...
Hurray! We recently harvested our second batch of bananas, which means more kitchen experiments for us.One of the things Hubby made was instant banana ice cream. You basically just peel the bananas, chop them into thirds and then place them in the freezer for a few hours until completely frozen. No ice...
How do you keep your husband happy?One of the most effective method is by cooking him his favorite food. In my case, Hubby's favorite food is steak. We bought a 3.3kg slab of rib eye last weekend, and had the shop cut it into 10 pieces and had them vacuum packed.For one of our weekday lunch, we made a...
Aanother favorite seafood of mine other than scallops are mussels. Whenever we go on holiday in Scotland, I would eat to my heart's content since mussels there are so good and fresh.Fresh mussels are not readily available in the supermarkets here in KL, hence I bought a pack of frozen New Zealand greenshell...
During the Ramadan month, dates are in abundance in supermarkets as they are often consumed after a day of fasting. Dates are an excellent source of fiber, sugar, magnesium, potassium, and have carbohydrates which will provide a quick boost of energy and help the body in maintaining health.This is a...
Last week, Hubby suggested that we have an Italian-themed dinner, he was in charge of the starter (tomato bruschetta) while I made the pasta dish. Sounds like a fair barter to me :)The baguette is sliced and lightly toasted with some olive oil under the hot grill, and then tomato mixture is spooned over it...
Eggs are ever-present in our home - I use eggs to create many delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for our family. Half boiled, hard boiled, steamed, omelettes, scrambled or fried, we love them all! My kids favorite is fried egg - they can eat it on its own or topped on their favorite food such as fried...
Once a week, I do a fridge clear out, and this week, I had some eryngii mushrooms and rocket that had to be used. So, I decided to make a vegetarian pasta dish with these two ingredients.Eryngii mushroom pasta with chilli flakes and rocketThe mushrooms are cut into various sizes (some sliced, some cut into...
Both Hubby and I are trying to eat more healthily for lunch (especially if we've had a big breakfast like curry laksa and char koay teow *ahem*). Wraps are our current favorite, as it takes minimal time to prepare and tastes hearty and delicious.Scrambled Egg and Mushroom WrapWe love eryngii mushrooms as...
