Here is yet another post on food and I hope that this post will not get you rolling your eyes 😀 I dished out vegetarian nasi lemak last week, using my favorite Mak Nyonya curry paste. I added cabbage, puffed tofu, brinjal, tomatoes, ladies fingers, potatoes and hard boiled eggs. I used vegetarian mushroom stumps…
Today is the first day of the UPSR examination for Primary 6 students. Sherilyn did not have to go to school today while Alycia needed to. Tomorrow it will be Alycia’s turn to enjoy a day off school. Instead of going to the enrichment centre in the morning, Sherilyn decided to follow me to the…
I love dishing out grilled fish, meat and veggies. I call them my ‘healthy homecooked fast-food’. And they taste really good too. Most importantly, grilling food in the oven is sweat-free and oil splatter-free too! Funnily, for someone who gets ‘heaty’ very easily, grilled food somehow does not make me feel heaty or sick, unlike…
Inspired by my friend’s posting of the picture of her mum’s homecooked black sweet vinegar pig’s trotters in Facebook and also aroused by the killer aroma of this dish from the unit above ours (a lady just gave birth and dang it, her Confinement Lady is drowning me with the aroma of her confinement dishes…
This was our dinner last night… Fresh portobello mushroom pasta with chicken fillet, fresh sweet corn kernels, garlic and whipping cream topped with cheddar cheese. I used a mixture of ribbon and spiral pasta to make the dish look more interesting. After all, it was a kiddo dish. Shapes, sweet corn, cream and cheese, these…
Bak Kut Teh is one of the easiest and fastest one-pot meal to dish up for your family. When I am feeling a tad lazy to cook dinner, I will prepare Bak Kut Teh. I will throw in some hard boiled eggs, fresh Enoki mushrooms, dried Shitake mushrooms, garlic, fried soy bean sheet (foo choke)…
Here is another sweat-free and oil splatter-free delish meat dish that I prepared for dinner yesterday. I never knew that my oven can do so much to help me with cooking so many mess-free delish meals for my kids. My oven-grilled pork chop tasted very much like ‘char siew’ as I added agave nectar which…
I made Chicken Adobo and mashed potatoes (at the request of the girls) for dinner tonight. It was my first time cooking Chicken Adobo, which is a Filipino dish. I saw this recipe in Nami’s Just One Cookbook the other night and since I had all the ingredients plus it was super easy to cook…
This is another super easy to whip up dish that is really lip-smacking, which I’ll bet kids and adults will love – grilled honey soy sauce chicken drummets. In my case, I replaced honey with agave nectar. Agave nectar is a healthier alternative to sugar and honey. It has lower calories, lower GI and has…
The girls had been bugging me to make Japanese potato salad since months ago. I had been putting it off until their exams were over. Actually it ain’t very difficult or very messy to make potato salad. It is just time consuming since there are lots of peeling, cutting, boiling, mashing and mixing involved. Thankfully…
Here’s another oven-grilled meat dish that I whipped up for the girls. My most critical and persnickety daughter said “mummy, I’ll give you an A+++ for this dish!” That sure was a very motivational remark to make me dish up more delish oven-grilled meat dish for them 😀 Picture below shows the chicken before the…
