Whenever we have dim sum for brekkie, hubster would not fail to order his favourite loh mai kai. Unless the shop has very good standards for loh mai kai, my constant peeve with them is that they tend to be overly greasy. I hate greasy loh mai kais. I get that they need a certain [...]

September 3rd, 2012 Sharon This dish was really a ‘love it or hate it’ dish during our childhood. Technically, it is a dish more commonly eaten during a lady’s confinement period because the motherwort herb is said to improve circulation. But it has become so common in pot lucks and food drives that people just find any occasion to [...]

August 8th, 2012 Sharon I wanted this for the longest time….oh you don’t know how long. KL/PJ don’t really make chilli dogs, oh sure you have A&W but they are not what I want to eat for hot dogs. I had to plan this dish for some time because I will admit that the ingredients and condiments involved are [...]

July 20th, 2012 Sharon I am reposting this because for some reason the old post was inaccessible. I had this dish like two nights ago. I only thought of this recipe because I had some leftover marinara sauce. My husband loves chicken parmigiana…actually he loves the chicken parmigiana at Tappers in Jaya One. When I was there for the [...]

June 20th, 2012 Sharon I am relabelling the previous lemongrass recipe as a Back 2 Back. I realised I haven’t done one in a while. Well, it’s not exactly something planned…this came up only when I have an ingredient that’s abundant in portion and could make few dishes out of it. So here is another version of the lemongrass [...]

May 28th, 2012 Sharon Thyme is my new favourite herb, not lemon thyme (yet) but the savory one. I so fell in love with thyme when I made my chicken roulade with roast veges. I have this itchy feel now that if I roast anything without thyme, it will come out below par.

May 14th, 2012 Sharon Okay, today I’m feeling a bit better and more enthusiastic about writing again. Yesterday was Mother’s Day and hubster brought us all out for a Western dinner. But I’m reminded of my own mother and the sort of Western dishes she would make for us. My mom doesn’t cook Western very much, but I remember [...]

April 4th, 2012 Sharon Hubster came home one day and announced that he needed to be on a low-carb diet. *sigh….that to me means, amp up the protein which portion-wise is not all that economical compared to certain carbs. But I try to give him what he wants but low-carb main meals can only do so much when you’re [...]

March 28th, 2012 Sharon I had some buttermilk left from making the biscuits and gravy for the tea party, actually there was quite a lot left so one thing I’ve always wanted to try with buttermilk is to make buttermilk fried chicken. I haven’t set foot in KFC for a long time, not because I dislike fried chicken but [...]

March 14th, 2012 Sharon Ah…pot pies….I have been wanting to make this ever since I saw it on Nigella Lawson. Pot pies to me falls into the epitome of comfort food. There’s just something about scooping out the steaming hot liquid chicken from a ramekin that makes you think…‘I may have all the troubles in the world but right [...]
