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…
When she’s around, I don’t have to worry about food on the table – 3 meals a day. She prefers homemade breads, cakes, cookies and homecooked food. When she’s around, she would discourage eating out and even discourages buying bread, buns and cakes from the bakery for she will bake them. Here are some of…
These days, my mil has been very adventurous in the kitchen. Almost everyday, a surprise would await us ;P One of the days last week, she whipped up a hurricane. In just half a day, she whipped up these surprises for us: Baked lemon-orange cheese cake and a big portion of pesto sauce (made from…
Here I go again, flaunting some of my mil’s sau sai (culinary skills). When she goes to Hong Kong again very soon, I will be left with the daunting task of planning the meals, 2x a day, 6/7, boohoo hoo hoo hoo ….. Steamed chicken with wood ear fungus, dried golden needle mushrooms, dried mushrooms,…
These are some dishes that my mil cooked for dinner: Braised chicken with potatoes. And stir-fried red and yellow bell peppers, french beans and ‘kai paye koo’ (chicken drumstick fresh mushrooms). It’s called ‘kai paye koo’ as the huge mushroom stems resemble chicken drumsticks! I love them and so do #2 and #3 but not #1…
Whenever my mil wants to clear off all the perishables in our 2 huge refrigerators, we will have like 5-6 dishes for dinner. We had 6 dishes and 1 soup of the day for dinner several nights ago: Clockwise : pork ribs from the pot of watercrest soup (to dip with premium soy sauce), braised duck…
Alycia was craving for California roll / hand roll early this week. Day after day, she pestered my mil to make char siew California rolls for her. Some time back last year, my mil made some homemade char siew (roasted pork) and used them for the California roll. Since then Alycia was hooked on the…
Ever since Alycia started Standard 1, her appetite has been at an all-time low, especially during lunch. Most of the food that she previously liked and could whack a big bowl, she can’t even finish half a bowl now. I guess the lack of shut-eye, rushing and a change in the time which she normally…
When my parents were here last week, my dad took over the wok one afternoon and cooked fried vermicelli. After happily sweating it out in the kitchen (my dad is naturally a talented cook and loves whipping out dishes for us), my dad suddenly remembered he had forgotten to put the marinated pork into the…
My girls don’t really fancy porridge, unless the porridge is cooked with tons of ingredients and is full of flavor and tasty like this one: Porridge with roasted pork ribs, abalone, chicken (marinated with sesame seed oil and sea salt) and dried oysters. Even Baby who dislikes porridge and mushy stuff loved this porridge and whacked…
