As I was typing this post, I have realised that this meal is a combination of two side dishes! For the purpose of this post, let’s pretend that it’s okay to have two side dishes as a tasty main meal okay? This post is quite special because there is a new ingredient which I have […]

This a variation of everyone’s favourite fried rice from good to wow with just a dollop of butter! This butter fried rice takes less than 20 minutes to prep and cook! Perhaps it takes even less time to devour ha! My beloved and I love a good o’ fashion American street food – hot dogs! They […]

If you enjoy eating Tandoori chicken at Indian restaurants, this cheat’s tandoori chicken recipe is a must-try at home! Marination time aside, preparation as well as cooking time for this recipe can all be done in under 30 minutes! And we are not using ready-made tandoori paste for this recipe!

Her polenta crusted potatoes is my go-to baked potato recipe. It is surefire way to guarantee soft and fluffy potatoes with crunchy exterior. In the current […]

I can’t believe that I am actually living in Melbourne now. If you’d asked me early this year about my plan for 2014, never in a million years did I think I’d relocate from Orange to Melbourne! Life is unpredictable, that’s for sure! My beloved and I have spent the last couple of days setting […]

One of the earlier foods I have learned to make when I first lived away from home was kimbap, a Korean sushi filled with minced beef, pickled radish, carrot, cucumber and sesame oil flavoured short grained rice. I was so proud of my achievement that I could not stop making them for the next few […]
