One of the hardest things going gluten free is not being able to bake like usual. I tried a couple of gluten free flours/methods but without much success to imitate the results of baking with wheat flour. After quite a bit of research, I finally decided to try Authentic Foods flours as they seem to […]

Lamb Rendang with Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice)
I decided to make lamb rendang today with only the ingredients that are currently in my pantry – so no fresh chilies, shallots, or galangal. Instead, I used dried chilies, yellow onion, and ginger.

Coconut Candy
For dessert, we had hot tea (honey chrysanthemum) and coconut candy. Perfect ending to a meal. 😁
Steak Dinner
Recently, I watched a video on famous steakhouses in New York City and I had a hankering for steak since then, lol.

Comfort Food – Rice Porridge
Made this when it started getting chillier back in September but honestly, like I need any reason to have porridge, lol. I like my porridge to be on the soupy side…..how about you? And my absolute favorite topping is…….crispy anchovies! Hands down! What’s your favorite topping?
