RSS FeedHummus is mainly a dip but I like to eat this with flatbreads as a main meal in itself. Hummus comes from the Middle East I think. Normally you make hummus with tahini; ground sesame paste. It would seem rather impractical to go out and buy a whole jar of tahini just to make hummus [...]

Home-Style Kolo Mee
August 29th, 2011 
Sharon I call this ‘home-style’ instead of ‘homemade’ coz that would mean you actually made the noodles from scratch. The noodles are bought from a vendor but everything else is home-cooked. Kolo mee is a common noodle dish in Sarawak. Mine don’t look like what they sell in shops at all (pic below);
Omurice
August 29th, 2011 Sharon Some of you may connect this dish to the nasi pattaya, well…in a sense it is like that. Guess each country has their own version of the omelette covered rice.

Karaage and Coleslaw with Apple and Raisins
August 27th, 2011 Sharon Continuing this love for Japanese finger food, I totally spoofed KFC with this one. It looks like chicken poppers so I thought why not pair it with coleslaw and not just any sort of coleslaw, coleslaw with shredded apples! I had karaage at a Japanese restaurant once and they made it with the soft bones [...]

August 27th, 2011 Sharon Sometimes when you boil your eggs, the shells tend to crack and the whites would seep out, leaving rather unsightly nodules around the egg. It also affects how the inside would be cooked. You won’t get a nice yolk that’s for sure. I’m no genius in science but I think by adding vinegar, it changes [...]
