Who doesn't love nachos? They're great as a snack or finger food at parties.We had some leftover haggis from our Burn's Night dinner... and we thought it would be brilliant with nachos. Indeed, it worked perfectly well, since nachos usually contains minced meat. So, if you don't have haggis but would like...
We sure love a good fry-up and it's a fantastic way to start the day (especially when you're not the one cooking it... thanks Hubby!).The Unc paid us a visit when we were in Scotland, and stayed the night with us. So, for breakfast, of course we served nothing but the best for our guest of honour... a full...
Hubby was in charge of making all the beautiful breakfasts that you see on my Instagram while we were in Scotland.One of the things he put together was this glorious Smoked salmon and avocado muffin. Scottish smoked salmon is simply superb and we try to have it as often as we can when we're there. Top it on...
When we're in the Scotland, we eat quite a lot of steak... Aberdeen is afterall the home of the Angus cattle (aka Aberdeen Angus). You can easily pick up a good steak cut from any supermarket (we usually go for rib eye or sirloin) and it makes a really quick dinner.In the summer months, we like pairing our...
A trip to Scotland is not complete without somehaggis, neeps and tatties. Often touted as Scotland's national dish, you can find haggis in most Scottish pubs and restaurants. A simple, comforting meal, you can also easily make this in your kitchen if you have access to a kitchen during your...
On our way home from our dolphin spotting adventure at Spey Bay, a big sign pointed us to the direction of "Scotland's No.1 Fish and Chip Takeaway 2017" located in Fochabers.A queue was already forming when we arrived at Fochabers Fish Bar. There is a small section for those wishing to dine-in or you could...
Our kids love going strawberry picking, so last week when the sun was shining, we took them to Easter Anguston. The place has gotten a slight upgrade since our visit last year- you now pay£5 for an empty punnet and you may fill it with as many strawberries as you like. There is also an...
The Adelphi Kitchen will be familiar to many Aberdonians and visitors to Aberdeen. In 2017 ownership was taken on by CranberryCo Group and subsequently The Adelphi Kitchen was given a makeover and has recently reopened.Located off of Union Street, Aberdeen's main street, The Adelphi Kitchen is a hidden gem...
Another fantastic chipper you should check out when you're in the Banchory area is The Cowshed. We had originally come here to eat at their restaurant but it was their off day, so we bought from their chipper instead. And boy, it was good!We had the Large haddock supper (£8.20) and Breaded scampi (£6.70)...
Burns Night falls on January 25 every year. It marks the celebration of the life and works of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. I thought that it would be nice to make something Scottish for the family, and since I had a can of haggis still, I made Scottish Pie.What's Scottish Pie, I hear you ask?
For Hogmanay last year, we decided to make stovies since we had leftover roast beef from our Christmas party a couple of days back. (Hogmanay is the Scottish word for New Year's Eve).Stovies is a traditional Scottish potato and meat stew and is one of Hubby's favorite comfort food from back home. Stovies...
We saw this beautiful Scotch lamb rack in Sainsbury's and just had to get it to cook at home! The lamb rack is first seared in a hot pan to seal in all the juices, and then transferred to the oven to continue cooking to preferred doneness. Kudos to Hubby who did a good job in cooking it - it was beautifully...
Cullen skink is my favorite Scottish soup, made from smoked haddock, potatoes and onions. Whenever I see it on the menu in the restaurant, I would always order it. Super comforting and especially good on a cold winter's evening.It is a local speciality from the town of Cullen in Moray, on the north-east...
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...
After a morning of strawberry picking at Easter Anguston, we headed over to Banchory for lunch (a 15-minute drive away). We decided to have lunch at Burnett Arms Hotel, which is located right in the centre of town on the High Street.We dined in the Coach House Restaurant, which overlooks the High Street.
One of the best meals we had during our #BabySumoinEurope trip this time was at Moonfish Cafe in Aberdeen. Not only were the dishes visually appealing, they were delicious and expertly executed too :)For lunch, you can choose to have a 2-course lunch for£14. You can also order them as a la carte...
After visiting Charleton Fruit Farm, we made our way to Montrose followed by Arbroath. When in Arbroath, one must get smokies to eat/bring home. The Arbroath smokie is a specialty here; it is made using haddock (gutted and head removed) which is first salted, dried and then hot smoked whole with its...
During our family vacation in Scotland two years ago, we came across clootie dumpling in one of the cafes we were dining in. At that time,I had no idea what a clootie dumpling was but Hubby got very excited when he saw this on the menu, as his grandmother used to make this for their New Year...
