Buzzfeed Australia's Milo Bowl Cake This is the recipe I used from Taste's website, and I think I was not very sure on the spoonful measurements. 4 tablespoons self-raising flour 4 tablespoons white sugar 2 tablespoons Milo (or other chocolate powder) 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons full-cream milk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil source ... and that was MY Milo cake. I...
Last year, my husband and I traveled around Southeast Asia for some shoots and one of the perks of this job was that we got to stay with real people in their homes! Not only that we were able to experience different destinations within a month, we were also treated to amazing home-cooked meals by our guests. There were a few distinct dishes...
I had some plain yoghurt recently and I was contemplating whether to use it in cooking or as a dip for meatballs or something. I ended up testing it out as a marinade for some lovely chicken breast I had for lunch on a Sunday. Yoghurt is commonly used in so many cuisines but I thought I'd try it with some Indian spices...
There are times when I'm at home and I'm craving for freshly baked goods but most things need specific ingredients and takes up too much time to cook that my cravings would pass by the time it's done. That's not the case with Egg Popovers, or as the English calls it Yorkshire Pudding. They are a classic staple on Sunday Roasts, eaten with...
I grew up eating Loaded Potato Skins from Jake's Charbroil in Damansara Heights. I have never quite encountered any like it, as they're less cloying than the usual potato skins we get at any other joints. It took me YEARS to figure out how they made the skin so crispy, and now I get to make it at home whenever I want (and...
I've always thought that making desserts are like trying to create an art piece - everything has to be precise or you'll never get it right. Over the years, I've tried giving baking a go and realised that for someone who is not a big fan of measurements there are some desserts that don't require precise measurements. One of them would be an...
One of the things that I love making (and my husband loves to eat) would be this easy peasy cottage pie. The ingredients are simple and to make it is even simpler. This recipe came about when I first started cooking years ago and I never knew how to make shepherd's or cottage pie so this is considered as my cheat version of...
I've always had that presumption that cured salmon are difficult to make, therefore it is always served in teeny-tiny portions (when I am pretty sure I don't mind having more of it) but when I saw Byron Talbot's youtube video on his homemade cured lox, I couldn't resist to buy salmon on my next trip t o try it out myself. The thought...
I used to be very, very afraid of cooking duck breast. It's one of those meat that I'm not familiar with, unless it's smoked and ready to be served. However, I found beautiful duck breasts in our neighbourhood supermarket (BIG Publika) recently and thought, why the hell not? I was told to slice the skin side diagonally, and I think I overcooked it...
I'm pretty sure most of you have at least one favorite guilty pleasure that consists of unusual combinations. I've tried plenty of combinations throughout my life and though I never wanted to taste some ever again in my life, there are a few that I've been secretly indulging whenever I make a drive to the fast food joint or grocery markets. I love...

I have a bad habit of always skipping breakfast while my husband prefers just cereal and milk for his quick fix. Once in a while I try to spruce up our 'breakfast' routine by making use of the bread and vegetables we have in the fridge. This breakfast bruschetta is easy to make, and tastes delicious and healthy for your entire family. What...
We had a dozen chicken wings in the fridge, and still feeling full from breakfast I decided to make something light for lunch. Plus, rushing out to go somewhere doesn't exactly gave me much time to prep. After defrosting the wings, I marinated them in a sauce mixture before cooking them in my favourite skillet. It is also great for barbecue parties, or...
This is probably the first time I'm giving out recipes on my blog and since I'm a sucker for anything quick, I thought I'd share with you guys things I eat at home. They aren't difficult to make and definitely would taste better than your usual instant noodles. I've had this recipe for a very long time but I tried it with other...
I'm not really a sweet tooth but this is one of those in my exception list. Taught by my good friend Tasya, I love this when chilled, sprinkled with a bit of grated parmesan. Sounds odd, but it's a lovely combination of sweet, sour and milky. Not to be consumed too much though, cause it really does get cloying after a while. Great...
As usual, I'm all about quick eats cause I always have things to do in between so cooking for more than 1.5 hours is not really an option on a daily basis. If you want to have a nice pasta meal but don't want to spend too much time, or just want to impress your partner on their birthday or your anniversary, just...
