A stay-in Sunday often means we need to start off the day with a feast fit for a king that can fuel us through the morning. And what’s better than a hearty brunch of a full English breakfast? Different colours, different textures, different flavours all on one plate that somehow still manage to gel together […]

I had half a pack of kimchi left in the fridge after making bibimbap the night before and thought I’d use it to make kimchijeon (kimchi pancake) as a tea time snack. If you have prawns or squids, you can always turn this into a more substantial seafood pancake. Just need to double the portion of ingredients […]

Earlier I had shared my Sweet & Spicy Crab Stick Salad Recipe. And this was what I had done with the main bulk of the crab sticks I bought. The version that I sampled from outside was actually deep fried in oil and they felt really greasy to the touch so I tried making mine a […]

I’d been thinking of making falafels at home for quite some time but I found it a hassle to deep fry them (well, besides being heaty) when I only needed a quick (hopefully healthy) bite as a snack. So yes, oven baking was the only way out. I added panko to the chickpeas to bulk them up […]

This Flourless Ham, Egg & Cheese Muffin Recipe is almost a replica of my Egg & Ham Breakfast Muffin Recipe except that this time, I used beaten egg instead of cracking a whole egg into each muffin and also added some cheese into it. It kind of reminded me of a crustless quiche. Have this for […]

What do pizzas, cheese burgers, lasagne, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese steak and nachos fries (oh boy, the list just goes on doesn’t it?) have in common? Yes, they are all CHEESY foods. If I’d name an ingredient which I think would be the world’s best invention, I’d have to say it’s cheese. It’s […]

I had some leftover panko breadcrumbs from the tonkatsu I made earlier which I thought would be a waste if I threw them away so I decided to make some onion rings with them. I don’t normally use panko for onion rings (click here for my usual onion rings recipe) but there’s always a first […]

I have always preferred thin-crusted pizzas (like Spizza’s) to classic hand-tossed thicker ones as the crunch of the crispy crust gives the pizza an inviting texture without filling me up so I can enjoy more varieties of different flavours. At home, the husband and I eat tortilla wraps regularly so they will always be in […]

After I had tried making stuffed portobello mushrooms earlier this week, I’m now attempting to make stuffed bell peppers. Lunches are really getting interesting for me these days. It is just amazing how many vegetables out there we can make use of to create happy comfort food out of them. One walk down the vegetables […]

This is a no-carb muffin recipe which is very easy to make without the hassle of preparing several components of the traditional fry-up. Only 3 ingredients are required but of course if you like, you can always include additional stuffs like button mushrooms, diced bell peppers, sweet corn kernels, bacon bits, etc to bulk them up. Egg & Ham […]

Ok, I wouldn’t really call this a recipe as it only involves putting two ingredients into the oven. A bottle of ikan bilis (dried anchovies) with peanuts is something that I always have in the pantry as I like to sprinkle them over plain porridge or vegetable stir-fry. I’m quite fussy about what type of […]

I was first exposed to Middle Eastern & Egyptian cuisine nine years ago when an ex-colleague brought me to Altazzag at Haji Lane where I had one of the best hummus served with freshly-baked pita bread. From then, I fell in love with the exotic flavours of the Near East. I’d been regularly making this […]

I should really name these Hawaiian muffins, just like the Hawaiian pizza that we are all so familiar with. For a change, I’m finally making savoury muffins instead of sweet ones. And with the ingredients of cheese, ham and pineapples, this just resembles a pizza in a muffin. I made so many of them, I had […]

What do you do with a bar of dark chocolate, leftover breakfast corn flakes and a pack of raisins? Mix all up and spoon into mini baking cups for a fuss-free, no-bake, yummylicious chocolate snack! This Dark Chocolate Covered Corn Flakes with Raisins Recipe is so easy to make, your kids can also lend a hand […]

I love fish fingers when I was of schooling age as it is easy and quick to prepare them. Just pop in the oven for minutes and you’d get crispy, golden brown fish fingers. Eat with sweet chilli sauce. Makes an absolutely yummy snack. This recipe is made with my leftover sutchi fish fillets and […]

Shortbread makes a good snack with a hot cup of tea. And a lemon flavoured one gives a citrus punch to the crumbly cookie, making it taste refreshingly light. My father loves his traditional Scottish shortbread but enjoys these home-made lemony ones just as much. Lemon Shortbread Recipe Ingredients (makes approx. 8 wedges) 150g plain […]
