Tagliatelle with Chicken and Aubergine Tomato Sauce

Star Q


Besides Spaghetti Carbonara, another one of my kids favourite pasta dish is the simple Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce.  The only thing about this is, my kids prefer to have it not so simple by having the meatballs in their tomato sauce rather that minced meat.  And they often suggest (with praises to their dad's cooking so that they get their way!) that I make the meatballs myself rather than getting them from the freezer compartment of the supermarket!

Ayam Goreng Jawa / Javanese Fried Chicken

Star Q


This is my second weekend working in a new environment, and I felt exactly like how I felt last weekend.  I felt like I should make full use of this weekend; quality weekend with my family.  And since using my spare time with trying new recipes is how I find most enjoyable doing, so I did!

Kek Salji Strawberri / Snowy Strawberry Cake

Star Q


It's the weekend and all my kids are home.  The two that are in university are back for their mid-semester holidays.  So, the kitchen has been a hive of activities with people moving in and out, taking plates, dishing food, chatting, laughing and what-have-you.  The kitchen almost never closes, especially since my second child likes to have her dinner very late at night.

Ayam Panggang Mudah / Simple Roast Chicken

Star Q


Here's another situation where I have to come up with another roast chicken recipe simply because we have exhausted the ones we have in our repertoire.  It's chicken again since all the kids are home and chicken seem to go down well with everyone in this household; well, depending on the recipe of course!

It's the third week of the new school year and there has been quite a number of public holidays dotted along the week.  This week itself, there were three public holidays.  So, when you add the two-day weekend, you actually have five holidays and only two school day!  Yay!

Vanilla Melty Hershey

Star Q


My wife's niece called from Seremban this morning saying that she would be dropping by on her way to her mother-in-law's house in Labis.  It is natural for her to be a bit frantic when she is informed about someone's impending visit, especially with regards to what to serve to the guests.

Kari Senangin a la My Mom's / My Mom's Fish Curry

Star Q


This is the Fish curry I was talking about in my previous entry which I said would go well with the four-angled bean salad or Kerabu Kacang Botol.  What makes this curry so special that I wanted to immortalize it in my blog is because I finally got my late mum's recipe to a 'T' (at least I think so!)
