Ikan Merah Bakar

Star Q


Cockles!  That was the first thing on my mind that day when my wife asked me what we would be preparing for lunch.  It has been quite a while since I cooked cockles mainly due to the bad reputation the press had been circulating about them.

I have watched many celebrity chefs making this pie and I have always thought of it as something delicious, especially when I see these celebrity chefs digging into a bowl of steaming pot pie with lip-smacking gusto!

Solok Lada Berkeju

Star Q


Of late, there has been quite a few programmes focusing on Mexican food shown on television.  One thing about these programmes is that they are very interesting to watch because of the novelty of the things or ingredients used.  The drawback however, is that the things are not easy to come by in this neck of the woods.

Kerabu Ayam / Chicken Salad

Star Q


Don't you just love food that gives you the satisfaction or the impression of eating something that is healthy.  I have always noticed however,  that healthy food are usually bland and always missing that umami factor that gives me that sense of being satisfied.

Ayam Bakar Lemon

Star Q


I am very passionate about making a collection of recipe books and magazines so much so that I buy them without a second thought.  Well, not really if they are too expensive and that the content consists of ingredients that are difficult to obtain locally.

Cendawan Kukus Berinti

Star Q


Trying to come up with something new that this terribly picky eater would eat is a daunting task, to say the least.  The food must fulfill this child's specific needs, not that she has any special needs.  But she scrutinizes the choice of food that she wants so much so that the variety becomes so limited.

Cheesy Banana Cake

Star Q


Once in a while, someone else in the house gets a sudden urge to become the Sunday baker in the house besides me.  It is always pleasant to be lending a helping, instead of taking the lead in a baking session.  This time around, it is the missus' turn to be bitten by the baking bug!
