Grilled Dory with Bechamel Sauce

Star Q
Well, Ramadhan is here again and since all are at home once again, seeing that most local universities are having their long three-month holidays, I can expect to get many requests from my kids for me to prepare certain dishes or anything that captures their fancy.

Parmesan Fried Chicken

Star Q


I have been wanting to make this version of fried chicken for quite some time now; one because I had some grated parmesan cheese lying idle in the fridge and secondly because it's the weekend and it's the only time of the week when I can do some cooking.

Parmesan Carrot Cake

Star Q

I made this cake quite sometime back when I was one of the invigilators for the STPM examination.  It was the last day of the exam which was in SMK Seri Perpatih and even though I was not the chief invigilator, I decided to give my friends a treat.

Ayam Bakar Berempah / Curry Roasted Chicken

Star Q


It is always a happy occasion when my in-laws call up to say that they will be visiting.  Happy because it is not often that my in-laws have the opportunity to drive down to this neck of the woods.  Most have their own jobs and to get everybody to actually find time to travel together is something that does not come up very often.

Mixed-Herbs Roasted Tomatoes

Star Q
This is the Garlic Roasted Tomatoes which I made to accompany the Prawn Aglio Olio.  I saw this being prepared on the Barefoot Contessa and thought that it would go well with the pasta, and it did!  In fact it was so delicious, I forgot myself and ate almost half of the roasted tomatoes!

Pepes Ayam / Steamed Chicken in Banana Leaf

Star Q
There are a few types of food that I cannot eat and have forced myself not to consume them.  It is not so much that I cannot consume them but for health reasons, I have forced myself to avoid them.  But that doesn't mean that my family has to be denied the pleasure of enjoying the types of food that I can't have.

Prawn Aglio Olio with Roasted Tomatoes

Star Q
This week is the mid-semester break for most universities and for this whole week my daughter who studies in Perlis is back.  My son who is studying in Serdang has decided not to come back for the holidays since he has a few more lab work to do.  He'll be coming back next weekend though.
