For our New Year’s day dinner, I made coconut rice and spiced fried chicken and served them with your basic Nasi Lemak accompaniments such as sambal (a spicy sauce), crispy anchovies, roasted peanuts, sliced cucumber, and a hard-boiled egg. I can’t even begin to tell you how satisfyingly delicious the meal was! We are off […]

Chicken Mushroom Soup with Mee Suah (Somen)
Wanted to make something special for our New Year’s Eve meal but at the same time, nothing too elaborate (since I wanted to spend time with Keith and Alex more than anything), I decided to make our usual celebratory dish – chicken mushroom soup and mee suah. Not only does it smell/taste like Chinese New […]
Simple Fried Chicken Strips
Not my usual marinade for fried chicken but a delicious one nevertheless…..although I have to say I do prefer the seasonings with pork chops, if given a choice. Enjoy! For my equally simple go-to fried chicken recipe (one I grew up with), check out my Favorite Fried Chicken or Macaroni Salad and Fried Chicken posts. […]
Air Fryer Ayam Goreng Berempah (Spiced Fried Chicken) with Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice)
I have to say we are pretty pleased with our new air fryer so far. Last night, we made ayam goreng berempah or spiced fried chicken, and the chicken is cooked to perfection as usual, without much effort on our end. We served the chicken with a simple but delicious meal of nasi lemak (coconut […]
Chicken and Sausage Rice Soup
All I could think of when I was going to bed last night was that I really needed to use up some of the leftover ingredients in the fridge soon, lol. So, that’s exactly what I set out to do the moment I opened my eyes this morning and here’s the result – delicious chicken […]
Paratha Curry Puffs
Delicious paratha curry puffs – got the idea of using paratha as a curry puff pastry from a Singaporean friend a while back. Thank you for the great idea, Janice! 😁 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 to 1-1/4 pounds ground chicken (dark meat) 1 pound frozen diced potatoes (I use Ore-Ida Diced Hash Brown Potatoes) […]
Chicken, Fish Ball, and Tofu Soup
This is another dish from my childhood that I was reminiscing about lately. It’s an absolute comfort food to me – more hearty than your simple egg drop soup but still lighter than your typical American cream-based soup. Delicious! 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 to 1-1/4 pounds ground chicken 1 […]
Fried Stuffed Tofu and Chicken Fritters
Today, I made fried stuffed tofu and chicken fritters. The stuffing is the exact same mixture I use to make the chicken fritters, so whatever you have left after filling the tofu, just fry it up (in fact, I typically double the filling so I can make more chicken fritters!). Yum! 😁 2 (19 oz) […]
Chicken Egg Rolls
The deep-frying saga continues today, lol. Another thing I craved recently is fried spring rolls. I ended up making egg rolls instead since I didn’t feel like going to the Asian store to buy spring roll wraps. I have to say I am pretty impressed with the Nasoya egg roll wraps – everything you need […]
Fried Chicken Wings
Made some fried chicken wings yesterday using the seasoning mix my sis sent me a while back. Soooooooo good! ❤️
