Accidentally Brownie 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yeah, it was an accident actually. It wasn't meant to be a brownie, just a simple chocolate cake but went deliciously wrong. I wasn't sorry. And michelin-man definitely wasn't sorry too. He was too happy being appointed the taste-tester for my little baking accidents. I feel so lucky to have ... Read more:Accidentally

Perfect Pairing: Wild spring onions & Bacon Muffins 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Wild spring onions from the grassland are still sitting in the fridge, crisp like freshly picked veggies. I can remember vividly the taste of stir fried wild spring onions we had for dinner in the farmer's home not so long ago. It was a simple dish, no meat used. I ... Read more:Perfect

Grassland in Summertime 0000-00-00 00:00:00 August is the busiest month in the grassland of Inner Mongolia as there will be so many different festivals for the entire month. Most farmers will put up some extra tents or "yurt" as they call it, for the tourists. What I mean by "some" is more like a couple of hundreds or so.

Crumbly Chicken Pie 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I wonder how difficult it is to do a home-made puff pastry. Almost can't remember the last time I had those pastry with nice crunchy layers of flakes and the filling that stays moist and juicy. Hmmm, I think it was in New Zealand a couple of months ago. In ... Read more:Chicken
Korean Spicy Chicken Soup 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Went out to the street market next door, hoping to find anything interesting today. There has been some major reconstruction on most part of the road, a few of my regular sellers, like the dates man and the vegetable lady, aren't there anymore and I'm not sure where to look. Hopefully he's back soon as I need ... Read more:Chicken

Maroccan Dinner 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Tonight is our movie night at home. After work, David would usually come to join us for dinner and bring some new dvds with him. Mike will take care of the wine, while I usually stay in the kitchen until the last minute before the food is served. He has seen ... Read more:Dinner
Talk about rude 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Can't help myself giggling while clicking away links after links that lead me to Niall's posting about edible anus. That's when I burst out laughing. It's a Belgian chocolate, of course
It started when I checked my email and found a reply from Scott RealEpicurean about rude food, that probably would ...

Simple Veggie Soup 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I need a quick meal for lunch-dinner. Yeah, we’re trying to get into the habit of skipping lunch and having just a light dinner. I always love “soto” - various type of Indonesian soups altho the process of making some soto can be quite complicated. The simplest way, is getting packaged instant soup spices. Other option is [...] Read more:Simple

Chicken Tagine and Orange Salad 0000-00-00 00:00:00 *As I’m watching the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic on TV……* Firstly I need to give credit to FITRI, my foodie buddy, who had been generously sending me a huge package from the States. One of her gifts is this Maroccan Cookbook that I find very useful, as Mike and me are both crazy of this type of [...] Read more:Chicken

Mini Cheese Pound Cake 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I’ve told you I was on a mission to get all sorts of pans during my trip to Singapore - Jakarta a few weeks ago, right? I came back home smiling widely with a suitcase full of pans. One of them is this pretty cool looking six mini loaf pan. Stack of cake recipes, check! Ingredients, [...] Read more:Cheese

Mad about Macaroons 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Totally insane, my brain stops functioning everytime I see macaroons and my mouth waters uncontrollably.
I remember seeing them for the very first time in huge clear glass jars on David’s dessert buffet table. He was the one who started this madness with the stories about macaroons in Japan. There was this high-end pastry shop in Tokyo [...]

A Yummy Clash: Eggplant Tofu Lasagna 0000-00-00 00:00:00 It may be a bit early to get back into my sweet old kitchen. Still tired from the long flights plus the headache of dealing with the newly revised regulations for the visa - meaning that there’s a big possibility that I may have to go back to home country every month for visa extension. This [...] Read more:Yummy

Cool bites in Singapore 0000-00-00 00:00:00 I feel a bit lost lately, almost numb and distracted. Barely have any interest to update my writings, blogs or even going online. It’s so much comfortable to be physically active - uhm, that is if you classify mall hoppings, checking out every aisles in Borders or visiting every street hawkers in Singapore
as physical [...] Read more:bites
Martabak - meat pancake asian style 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Martabak or murtabak is a popular street food which is probably originated from the arab culture - which is also popular in Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei. Although I swear I’ve seen a different variety of “martabak” sold on the street corners in China. The chinese version of martabak is using solely chopped [...]
Nasi Pepes Ayam Jamur 0000-00-00 00:00:00 That’s the Indonesian name for steam fragrant yellow rice with chicken and mushroom wrapped in banana leaf. Definitely a mouthful title :D It’s a beautiful dish though. The rice is pre-cooked in grated fresh turmeric, coconut milk and thin slices of kaffir lime leaves that makes the steam wafting in the air smelling of fresh turmeric [...]
Tea Time Donuts - ala JCO 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Long long time ago, I’ve tried making donuts and been getting inconsistent results. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it’d be a complete disaster to a point that I cringed even on hearing the word ‘donuts’. It was my final decision, never to make donuts ever again. Ha! Until yesterday I was still convinced that baking donuts would be [...] Read more:Donuts
Eggplant Koresh 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Eggplant Koresh or Khoresh-e Bademjan is a Persian dish, another one of my favorite dish found in cookbook “A Taste of Persia” sent by my dear foodie buddy, Fitri. Thanks a looooottt, luv!!! I have certain fascination with eggplant dish, which I think absolutely yummy in stews and grilling.
This one is quite easy to make. Although it would be [...]

I’m so in the mood to bake new things. Usually a particular smell in the kitchen that I’m not familiar with will trigger my gag reflex. Sensitive but not as bad as expected. Other than that, I can still run around doing things in the kitchen, taking photos and other things. One thing I notice though, [...] Read more:Fried
Black Pepper & Cheese Cookies 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Black Pepper
& CheeseCookies
There’re times when I made up my mind to cook or bake something, but once I read the recipe, I know it’s not exactly what I want. Something’s missing there. Not sure what, but I can tell that the recipe is too plain or too boring. Like a recipe of simple cheese sticks. [...] Read more:Black

What’s for breakfast? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 A basket of breakfast pastry
Do you skip breakfast in the morning? Back then in the old days, I used to skip breakfast all the time. Sometimes just a cup of hot tea before jumping into the taxi rushing to the office. Although I never missed a day of coffee break in the office around 10am where [...]
Spekkoek, A Thousand Layers Spice Cake 0000-00-00 00:00:00
Do not be fooled by the look of it, Indonesians would know that it’s a delicacy to die for. Not so easy to make as each of those thin layer takes only about 5-7 minutes to bake to get that nice creamy yellow look, then it will quickly burn before you know it. It’s a skill that needs [...] Read more:Thousand
