I bought a packet of santan (coconut milk) this morning, with the intention of eating it with my overnight oats. Since there was still some  coconut milk left, I asked the mil to use it up (santan gets rancid really quickly, though refrigerated) to cook nasi lemak (rice cooked with coconut milk and screwpine leaves)….

I love grilling meats in the oven. It is so easy to dish out, has no splish splash of oil, has minimal washing  and it is time-saving. I leave the meat in the oven and I’ll get back to my other chores. Now that the MIL is away in Hawaii for over a month, the…

I had some satay sauce (spicy peanut sauce) left in the freezer, which the hubs brought back from his shop the other day. I wanted to clear my freezer and fridge of all the food before our trip back to my parents, so I whipped this dish up for dinner – grilled chicken with lemon…

I never liked eating fish head until I tried the grilled salmon head at the Japanese restaurant of Equatorial Hotel, KL many moons back. I have not gone to Equatorial Hotel, KL for yonks as the premises has been demolished, to be rebuilt from scratch.  That first time of tasting grilled salmon head at the…

This is my grilled chicken dish with fresh pineapple. Rating from my 3 fastidious foodies was A++ It was pretty simple to dish out.  I used whatever available sauces that I could find in my fridge to marinate the chicken in the morning and 8 hours later, grilled it for about 25 minutes (uncovered) in…

I love holidays as I get to enjoy my breakfast with the girls.  If I am in the mood to cook, I will whip up some scrambled eggs and omelettes filled with cheeses and mushrooms.   If the MIL is around, she will whip up pancakes, fried eggs or some simple but delish sandwiches, like this…

Here’s our homecooked lunch yesterday… Corn noodles (noodles are made from corn flour) with meat balls in anchovies soup and Chinese cabbage, accompanied with crab meat and fish paste rolls. As the girls love noodles with fish balls or meat balls, we have this at least once every week. It is easy to prepare and…

Today during my routine morning run, I was thinking hard about what to dish out for lunch and dinner as the mil will be away for a few days. For a perpetually time-challenged WFHM, I can only dish out meals that are easy to prepare with minimal oil splatters and minimal dish washing that can…

For many people, they would try to flee if their mil were to live under the same roof with them.  For me, I think it is a blessing for the mil to live with us as there are more pros than cons.  Yep it is never easy to live with someone harmoniously but if both…

Noodles with anchovies soup is something that my girls love and it’s quite easy to whip up. I can add just about any ingredients to the noodles from chicken fillet to minced meat, meat balls, fish balls, fish paste, seafood, green veggie and the list goes. My kid’s bowl of wholesome organic brown rice vermicelli…
