Baked Cake Donuts

Baked Cake Donuts

I have always had a thing for donuts. It could be something to so with the funny shape.. or maybe it’s the soft pillowy bread that just gives me the chills up my spine. The kind of chills you get when something electrifying and inexplicably good happens. So why haven’t I made bready donuts yet … Continue reading »

Kabocha Sweet Potato Chicken Soup

Kabocha Sweet Potato Chicken Soup

We were having some roasted sweet potatoes not too long ago. That natural sweetness and a good sprinkling of coarse salt really works. Especially if you have a nice bowl of hot sauce to dip them in. And that got me thinking whether they would be good substitutes in soup. Well, I bought too many … Continue reading »

Strawberry Lemon Soda

Strawberry Lemon Soda

With the weather changing into something like of the desert (I know it’s a tropical country here and that’s expected… but rain! Where are you?!?), it always makes us happy to have something really refreshing after dinner. Tentatively, our go-to drink after dinner would either be lemonade, grass jelly or Malta. However as I passed … Continue reading »

Steamed Ginger Chicken

Steamed Ginger Chicken

Okay, let me make a disclaimer. This dish is not pretty. There is nothing photogenic about this. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. But the smell and taste. Now, that’s the real test of a dish.

Snake Gourd Paretal

It’s been ages since I last shared a veggie recipe. Usually it’s because I cook the same old same old every day (read: whatever veggies stirfried with minced garlic.) I tend to put a lot more effort into the meat dish so I like to keep the veggies simpler. Also, overcooking veggies ain’t all that … Continue reading »

Pork Chickpeas Chilli

Pork Chickpeas Chilli

So you know when you have this really bright idea (at least you thought it was) and you just have to have to have to do it otherwise you can’t sleep? Yes. I had this one idea of making a stew out of chickpeas and pork. I know, it’s not original. But for me, pork … Continue reading »

Mandarin, Peach & Passion Fruit Trifle

Mandarin, Peach & Passion Fruit Trifle

Here’s one dessert that never made it to the intended location. I contemplated on whether to post this or not but then, why not? I spent time making it and I took a few large bites from it so I guess that qualifies this little bowl of loveliness a place on TT. Yes? Yes. PS: … Continue reading »
