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…
Here’s another post on food, glorious food! And I think many of my readers love reading about what I cook, what I eat, where I eat and anything on food coz we are afterall Malaysians who all love food eh? Ever since Baby started to have more pearly whites, she has been enjoying her food more and…
These are some of the simple and wholesome homecooked dishes that I whipped up recently: Stir-fried leek flower and celery with homemade fish paste. Bean sprout omelette. This dish was created after a grandma whom I’ve known at the morning mobile market saw me buying bean sprouts. She then told me to try making bean sprouts omelette….
I hardly ever buy sausages and deli meat for my girls. I think they are in the same category with junk food as they are laden with preservatives, sodium and other food additives. Plus, you don’t even know the quality of meat used. As with all forbidden food, my kids absolutely love sausages. If I…
I had finished my mum’s homemade kaya and bought those on-the-shelf kaya from the mini mart. But the kaya tasted awful – it was diabetes-inducing sweet and tasteless, with very little santan taste and a tad rancid taste too. My girls love kaya too and they had been asking me for kaya each time they…
My mil has been away in HK for almost a month now…. and yes, I managed to dish up healthy and tasty dishes for my kiddos. Here are some of my ‘sau sai’ (culinary skill)… Stir fried fresh udon noodles with purple cabbage, chicken meat, garlic and onions. There are 2 types of udon noodles…
