Lunchbox - Potatoes and Olives Salad

Star Q


I love one-pot anything that makes life easier when it comes to cooking and eating.  This is especially so with lunchboxes where you only have to bring one container and you have all your dietary needs in one dish.  Contrary to the local lunchboxes where you would have one part rice, one part protein and one part vegetables and three parts of cumbersome containers to carry to work!

Not My Mom's Baked Macaroni

Star Q


This endeavor started off as something which was supposed to be an adventurous one.  I had wanted to reproduce one of my late mom's pasta dish.  However, after considering the fact that it was a very elaborate dish, I opted for a simpler version; as usual!

Cendawan Portobello Sumbat Daging

Star Q


There's something so alluring about these meaty brown mushrooms that whenever I go to supermarkets and I see that they are available, I will purchase them without fail.  My friends always ask me what I do with this huge cup-shaped mushroom, and I literally them to stuff it!

Mee Wantan Sizzling

Star Q


This one of  those days when you ask every member of the family what they want to have for lunch and nobody has any idea what they want!  It makes the cook's life a bit more difficult because now he (me that is!) has to think of a dish that everybody likes.

Sliced Peach Cake

Star Q


I was going to visit a few teachers whom I have been coaching for a whole year now, and I really needed to bring something for them.  They have been receptive of my presence and all the ideas and suggestions I have been giving them.  In fact, that was the main reason why I needed to bring something.

Sandwich Bebola Daging Berkeju

Star Q


Sunday is a day to be lazy!  It's a day for me lounge around, lie down on the sofa, watching the programmes on television, one after another, even though my stomach is growling incessantly asking to be filled.  But I am too lazy to potter about in the kitchen!

Brussel Sprouts Kung Pao

Star Q


I had just gotten down from the bus and was making my way to the car booth sale nearby when I chanced upon a plot of land where someone, obviously with both of his (or her) thumbs green in colour, had obviously planted rows of vegetables.  And among them was this one healthy plant of brussel sprouts, standing proud, clamouring for attention.
