Made this delicious turkey porridge with leftover turkey from Christmas, along with a wonderfully savory tomato stir-fry. Absolutely satisfying! ❤️ Note: This is an approximation recipe where you could do no wrong (sorry, no exact measurement this time – both the turkey and tomatoes were leftovers, I just used them all). Porridge Rinse and place […]
What’s Cooking
Cranberry and Almond Citrus Biscotti
Over the years, I have tried a variety of biscotti recipes and this is the one I always come back to. The biscotti itself is hard (as it should be) but not rock hard and hence, can be indulged as is, which is something I love to do. At the same time, it softens wonderfully […]
Baked Beef Curry Puffs
Baked these deliciousness last night – mouthwatering, flavorful beef and potato curry filling encased in crispy, buttery pastry – the combination is absolutely heady! Indulge with family and friends or freeze for future treats because you would not be able to stop at just one or two or even three. :) Enjoy! Make the filling […]
Cashew Cookies

Coconut Pandan Bread (Tangzhong Method)
Love this light and fluffy, coconut, pandan-flavored bread!

Adapted from the Classic Sandwich Bread recipe by King Arthur Flour 3 cups unbleached […]

Turmeric Fried Chicken

[…]
Anchovy Sambal (Sambal Ikan Bilis)
Warning! This recipe is not for the faint-hearted! Let me be frank – if I have access to decent anchovy sambal (i.e. if I’m in Malaysia), I will not be toiling over the stove for hours to produce this indescribable spicy deliciousness. :) Today, I will be making Nasi Lemak, Malaysia’s national dish, of which […]
Malaysian Honeycomb Cake/Beehive Cake
This is one of my favorite cakes from childhood! Named after its honeycomb-like patterns, it has two distinct layers – the top is light and tender while the bottom has a texture similar to a sponge cake. The flavor is reminiscent of warm, delicious butterscotch and is surprisingly not too sweet – we absolutely love […]
Cream Cheese Danish
Another delicious buy from Costco! Note to self – Do not go to Costco when hungry!
