We love pancakes, especially when it's topped with whipped cream, plump strawberries and maple syrup.... mm mmm! We've never tried making savoury pancakes at home, however as we have Emmental cheese in our fridge this week (thanks to Bottega Mediterranea), we decided to give it a go!For savoury pancakes, it...
Last week, we attended an event showcasing French potatoes organised by Business France Malaysia. The French Embassy in Malaysia hosted a delegation of French key players in the French potato export industry, and the objective of the mission is to explore Malaysia's suitability as an export destination for...
Store-bought gnocchi is great for quick lunches as they cook in no time at all. For only RM10 per pack, each pack will yield 4 servings (that's two lunches for us), so it's definitely great value for money.When The Unc came back from his holidays, he brought us some nice Spanish chorizo, as well as 30-month...
One of my favorite things to eat in Germany isspätzle. It is a type of soft egg noodle, aka German "pasta"and is commonly found in southern Germany. Since we couldn't find it in the German restaurant we visited in Cologne, we decided to try making it at home. And gosh it's so simple to make!You...
We had half a pack of gnocchi left after we used half in this steak recipe. Sage and butter are two of the most common ingredients to pair with gnocchi, so we decided to use up the remaining half pack of gnocchi and cooked it with sage, butter and mushrooms, and finished it off with some white truffle...
This tomato bruschetta with burrata cheese and basil pesto, is an upgrade from our usual brushetta recipe. Tomato, mozzarella and basil is a classic Italian combination, so it's no surprise this worked out beautifully. As I mentioned previously, burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and...
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...
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...
Both my children LOVE eggs, so you would often see us eating eggs in various cooking styles, such as half boiled egg, fried egg, scrambled eggs and hard boiled eggs. Earlier this week, I made shakshuka for them for brunch.Shakshuka (or shakshouka) is a dish of eggs poached in tomato, with bread on the side...
So, on Easter Sunday, I cooked my daughter's favorite lamb loin chops for dinner. I had friends telling me on social media how good it looks and I couldn't help but add "And it's so easy to cook too!".The last few times I cooked lamb chops, I placed the chops along with vegetables, all in one pan and...
We have been enjoying a bountiful supply of bananas from our garden for the past year. Usually, we would discard or give away the banana blossom (aka banana heart or banana flower or jantung pisang in Malay) as we do not quite know what to do with it. This time, we saved it and made a salad out of it!Banana...
I also made a few side dishes to go along with the slow-roasted leg of lamb. The objective here is to keep it easy and simple - so I opted for oven-roasted zucchini, honey glazed baby carrots and a festive raw salad.Honey glazed baby carrotsRecipe by Baby SumoPreparation time: 2 minsCooking time: 15...
Christmas is my favorite festive celebration, and over the years, I have learnt to be more relaxed during the festivities (ie cook something easier and less complex) so that I don't have to spend so many hours in the kitchen andspend time with the family instead during this special day. This year, I...

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...
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...
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...
Happy Father's Day to all the daddies...Knowing how much Hubby likes barbecues, I asked him "Would you like to have a BBQ to celebrate Father's Day?" much to his delight. Plus he finally gets to cook AND eat the giant prawns that he bought a couple of months ago.The highlight of the BBQ... these giant...
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...
