Cheesy Mango Floats

Star Q


This is a belated entry because all the mangoes on my two trees have all but gone.  We have made every thinkable recipe using our mangoes, whether ripe or not.  We are quite fortunate this time around because we had an abundance of fruits to share with our friends, neighbours and in-laws.

Fish and Leek Pie

Star Q


My children always get the better of me when it comes to food, especially when they know that I am able to prepare the dishes that they want; be they from what I have stashed away at the back of my mind or by merely surfing through the net for recipes!

Parmesan Zucchini Chips

Star Q


I have the nasty habit of buying foodstuff and keeping them in the fridge and then forgetting about them until they are well past their expiry dates.  Fortunately, most of the time, my missus who regularly goes through the fridge, will remind me about the stuff I have stashed away in cool slumber.

My Minestrone

Star Q



There were a few guys mowing the sprawling lawn of the students' residence where I was staying that day.  It was early noon and I suppose, all of them were hungry for their lunch break.  They actually took me by surprise when one of them looked through my kitchen window, and commented that something smelled great from the kitchen!  I was cooking Minestrone that day!

Gulai Nasi Dagang

Star Q


Every time I eat Nasi Dagang I hear Rosmaria Abdul Hamid singing the song titled "Nasi Dagang" in my head.  I will not tell you about the origins of Nasi Dagang but suffice to say that it is one of my favourite dishes, especially the fish gravy.

DIL Spring Rolls

Star Q



People say that a picture tells a thousand words but the picture above doesn't do the Spring Rolls any justice at all.  This is because it is not about the picture but the spring rolls themselves which are quite special.

Panko Crusted Salmon

Star Q


If there is one type of protein that I love more than any other type, it must be fish.  I eat fish six days a week and on one of those days when my wife decides to cook chicken or beef or anything else other than fish, I would still want fish as a side dish.
