Simple meals can be made to look really appetizing and enticing if you do some ‘touch up’ or ‘make up’ to it, like placing the food in nice bowls, plates and decorating the food. My princess wannabe is one such aesthetic fella. She likes food decorated tastefully and presented to her, like it was fit…
My girls love fried drummets, nuggets and fried chicken. While shopping for groceries at Bangsar Village, I saw some raw chicken drummets at the frozen meat section. I hardly see raw chicken drummets at the frozen meat section at the supermarkets that I normally frequent, so I was really excited and got 2 packs. But…
The forbidden fruit is always so juicy and tasty even though you do not really like it. My girls are absolutely crazy over maggie mee, which is their version of instant noodles. That’s because I hardly ever allow them to eat. Each time they see kakak or daddy slurping salty and spicy maggie mee from…
If I prepare simple sustenance for lunch, I’ll ensure that there is something more ‘proper’ for dinner. If my girls have sandwiches or porridge for lunch, I will prepare dishes that are more meaty like braised pork ribs, chicken or fried fish for dinner. Braised pork ribs with yam is one of the more popular…
My kids are getting fed up with having fried noodles, fried rice, noodles, pasta and spaghetti for lunch. So I whipped up sometime different for them – Chicken Terriyaki sandwich complete with lettuce, mayo, cheese and cucumbers…. Subway style! I marinated the chicken breast fillet with some Kikoman Terriyaki sauce and black pepper, then pan…
As I was reading the newspapers the other day, I came across a very delish noodle dish that I was very sure my fussy kids would love. Plus it’s simple to prepare too. So the same week itself, I whipped up Jar Jiang Mien. Ingredients needed are: – Minced pork – Julienned carrots (for garnishing…
For those of you who are deprived of home-cooked dishes, sorry if I made you drool and your tummy rumble with these dishes that my mil and hubs’ aunt cooked: ‘Jai’ (vegetarian dish). I can survive on nothing but this dish for a day or two. Just love all the ingredients used to cook this…
Who said instant noodles are only for the under privileged? My privileged kids think maggie mee aka instant noodles are a luxury. That’s because I hardly allow them to eat them. And even if I do, I don’t use the seasoning that comes with the instant noodles. I will either stir fry the noodles or…
I whipped this up for the kids’ lunch last week. It was so lip smacking delish that they all requested for it again the next day! Here’s the pot of soup made from lightly pan fried anchovies and chicken bones, boiled for an hour. While the pot of soup is wholesome, the commercially made fish…
One thing I like about this caterer is that her dishes are varied and we hardly ever got the same dish for the past 2.5 weeks. But the combo of some of her dishes can be quite weird, like pumpkin cooked with curry powder! Egg Omelette with sausages, fake crab sticks and long beans. My first…
I made spaghetti with beef bolognaise sauce for lunch the other day. And the sauce is a healthy and wholesome one with lots of chopped celery, carrots, tomatoes, big onions and fresh shiitake mushrooms. The bottled spaghetti sauce is supposedly preservative-free and MSG-free. This plate is for Baby. Check out the 2 containers at the…
