Ayam Masak Merah

By • Mar 27th, 2011 • Category: From My Mother's Kitchen

I have a huuuuuuuuuuggggeee weakness for ayam masak merah, which is chicken coated in a rich, tomato and honey sauce. Culturally in Malaysia, it is a Malay dish and they certainly do it very, very well. Whenever my parents dragged us to a Malay wedding, the only thing I look forward to is this dish [...]



White Poppy Seed & Lemon Yogurt Cake

By • Mar 25th, 2011 • Category: Baking Projects

I get Chinese food withdrawals when I don’t get enough of it. Of course it doesn’t help to read food blogs, I just get hungrier. I know this has nothing to do with lemons or yogurt, poppy seed or cake. But I really need to get it out of my system. Actually, it is kind [...]



Hurra! Carrot Cake

By • Mar 17th, 2011 • Category: Baking Projects

I was smiling the whole time while photographing this cake. The sunlight in the background, the cute and colourful bravado behind those words made me happy. And with every happy thought and emotions I felt, I dedicated it to Japan. Lately, my heart wrenches every time I see the news. My friends are suffering and [...]



Lemon Meringue Pie

I’m going to do some shameless advertising now: … … … I need guest bloggers. There. I’ve said it. You see, I’m … (a) leaving for Malaysia/ Bali for a break and there will be a point where I will not be able to find the time/ motivation to blog and it’ll be sooooo quiet [...]



Citrus Delicious Pudding

By • Jun 1st, 2010 • Category: Desserts

This is the dessert I made when G’s uncle came to visit. The citrus pudding was a great way to end dinner after a hearty meaty meatloaf. On a totally unrelated matter, my best friend got married last Saturday. Carrie and I have known each other for half our lives. But it’s not just about [...]

Continental Lemon Cheese Tart with Stewed Plums

By • Jan 21st, 2010 • Category: Desserts

A girl friend and I were checking out old school and uni photos yesterday, some dated to more than 10 years ago. We were amazed at how baby-faced some of us looked and how some have simply ‘transformed’ themselves. We talked about the old days and how we have grown over the years. A mutual [...]



Lemon Polenta Cookies

By • Nov 18th, 2009 • Category: Baking Projects

Recently I’ve been experimenting with … healthier choices. Stuff like olive leaf extract, quinoa and soy milk. I have no idea what brought on this wind of change. I guess I’ve come to terms that I’m no longer invisible (not like I’ve ever been but in my twenty-somethings I’ve abused my body with burger, chips, [...]
