How much do I love my food? LOTS. Yesterday, while walking home from Italian lessons, bag on one shoulder, textbooks in another hand, I decided to drop by the Chinese shop nearby. Have I told you how much I love my new place? I have? Like a hundred times? Well, I’ll make it a hundred [...]

After close to a week in Taunton, HB drove us to Wembley in London. We chose to go to Wembley as my aunt lives there and we wanted to visit her. I had also wanted to restock my Asian food supplies; abundant in Wembley! Funnily enough, I have less than ten pictures of Wembley as we spent [...]

I’ve decided to write about our trip to UK in several installments, simply because there are too many pictures.
My UK posts will therefore be divided into three:
- Taunton, Somerset
- Wembley, London
- Cardiff, Wales
We landed in Heathrow, and HB drove from Heathrow to Taunton, Somerset, some supposedly 4 hours away. The drive was a looooong one and [...]
Portuguese Egg Tart Recipe
Posted in Food, tagged egg, egg tart, Portuguese egg tart, recipe on August 29, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Delightful little things these are. I never could resist them whenever I see them at bakeries back home. I do love all things eggy (apart from chawanmushi), and egg tarts have to be high up on the list. There’s the usual egg tart with the short-crust pastry and smooth yellow custard filling. And then there’s the [...]

I don’t know how the foodies do it. But I can honestly say that I make an awful food blogger. When I cook, I usually forget to take pictures. Or when I do remember, I am usually so caught up with making sure I’m not late with our meals that I rush and end up [...]
The Birthday Booty

It was a quiet birthday for me yesterday. The HB wasn’t feeling too well and it was sweltering hot outside, prompting us to remain at home where it is relatively cooler.
The HB had just gotten back from his business trip to Morocco, and he got me a load of stuff from there as a pressie.
Left [...]
Sambal tumis (Sauteed Chili Paste) Recipe

You know you’re a true blue Malaysian when you go all out and try to replicate the food from home, notwithstanding the dire lack of ingredients. Unlike the lucky Malaysians in London and US, it is much, MUCHHHH harder to get Asian food and ingredients in Italy. I turn green whenever I read blogs like RasaMalaysia [...]

I took some pictures of my lunch today, and I discovered that there were some pictures from some time back (read:last year ) that I had meant to upload here, but I totally forgot about them. So today, you will see some of my very favourite easy, light food and also……my one major flop. Now, [...]

It is the HB’s birthday today He is part Hokkien, and the Hokkiens have a tradition of eating mee suah ( a type of noodles made from rice flour ) on birthdays, as the mee suah is supposed to symbolize longevity. I baked him a chocolate cake on Friday, purely to surprise him, [...]
Chinese Steamed Fish

The HB only likes his fish steamed. Hence I’ve made this a few times. The usual steamed fish is very simple, but my version needs a bit more work, but it tastes great!
I don’t mind eating this often, but how do I get the HB to like fish cooked other ways? Fish = steamed for the [...]
