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.

Sri Rasa Baked Chicken Wings

Star Q


Better late than never, I always say.  I am talking about the global craze with one particular chili sauce that is Sriracha!  I'm sure anyone who is interested in the culinary world in one way or another, must have heard about it.

Not Homemade

Star Q
iii.  La Sopresa


Okay!  I'm guilty!  We're only just into the second week of Eid, but there are days when I simply cannot get myself to get up early to prepare food to fill my lunch box.  Sometimes I find it difficult to wake up early simply because I had to sleep late the night before and also because sometimes I feel to too lazy to take out the frying pan in the morning and prepare food from scratch.

Chicken Pie Revisited

Star Q


OMG! It's been more than a month since I last posted in this blog, and I really need to write about something.  So, I guess I'll write about something I remember as a kid.  I remember the last time I made a proper pie was when I was in Form Five.  I had actually made it for my family to have for tea.  But it was quite unexpected when a cousin of mine dropped by that day and my mum served him a slice of the pie I had baked.

Sotong Goreng Cili Padi

Star Q


There is nothing that beats a hot and spicy dish especially one that contains fish or chicken.  My family seems to adore fish or chicken fried with some birds eye chillies.  There is something about the aroma and also the spiciness of the dish that encourages them to eat heartily.
