Sunday is usually a big cooking day for us, so that all we would need to do during the busy weekdays is just reheating. One of the dishes we made this week was grilled turmeric chicken. This recipe originally comes from Linda of Roti n […]

Here are some photos of our simple but oh so delicious Thanksgiving meal. We ate around noon since there wasn’t much prep involved. Just had to heat the ham and scalloped potatoes, cook the green beans, and the rest was essentially done. And boy, did we […]

I don’t usually have anything in mind when I shop for veggies to go with our meal. I buy what looks good and is reasonably priced. This week, the sugar snap peas fit the bill and they were so good that they really didn’t need much embellishment. […]

A childhood dish that never gets old, this is as homestyle as it can get. My mum used to cook this dish at least once a week. It was served with every dish imaginable…steamed meat, soup, stew, fried chicken, or fish, and everything’s served with […]

I’m trying to recall how this dish came about but it has been over 20 years, so the memory is a little hazy. I remember cooking this dish for the very first time when I was a teenager and I think it came about from my […]

The heat tapered down quite a bit over the weekend and we’ve been getting some much needed rain (yay!) but I’m pretty sure summer weather is not over yet. So, I would like to share a delicious salad recipe that I thought is just a perfect side dish […]

One of my guilty pleasures is definitely FRIED FOODS! In fact, the only time I’ll eat chicken skin (or tolerate fats of any kind) is when they are fried or roasted until they are crispy. I’ve often wondered how we could eat all those fried foods and […]

Got it from Costco. Delicious! In general, I prefer fresh vegetables over frozen but you definitely can’t beat the covenience of frozen vegetables. On my recent trip to Costco, I found this wonderful blend of frozen veges, which is just perfect for times when I want a quick side dish with […]

Okra is one of my favorite vegetables. I remember my parents having to force me to try it when I was young and I have loved it since then. It is delicious stir-fried with shrimp, belachan, or fresh chilies, or just plain salt and pepper […]
