Sharing my experiences as a die hard foodie!

Kway Teow Goreng

I love noodles! Not so much the dried ones and preferably the fresh ones you get from the wet market in Singapore. There’s such a huge variety of noodles and the various preparation from the Chinese, Malay and Indian Muslim stalls that I think I will write a separate chapter on it altogether! This recipe…

Fish Curry

This recipe is courtesy of my aunty in Australia. She and her husband were in Dubai for a short stint and we were invited over for lunch one day. She made this fish curry which we freaked out on and I asked for the recipe immediately. I am one of those who still refers to…

Biryani

I love biryani; any kind and from anywhere though I’ve been told that Hyderabadi biryani is the best. It is believed that biryani originated from Persia and made its way to India. When I was in the UAE, there were couple of biryani joints we used to frequent. One was in Sharjah called Morning Star…

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I’ve baked this cake umteen times now and each time it’s a big hit! Traditionally you see the pineapple rings cut into half and placed in the bottom of the baking tray. But I used the cubes instead and cut them into halves and placed them like this in the tray, pictured below. It looks…

Almond Cake

I always look for easy recipes just so I get confident as I am very particular if the cake does not turn out right. This recipe looked good and is easy to follow. I must say this cake is very delicious but had such a sugar rush as it was just too sweet! Honestly this…

M & Ms Cookies

These cookies are a big hit with kids and adults. I’ve made them countless times and they disappear very fast. What is really fun to watch is when the kids try to take just the M&Ms from the cookie instead of taking the whole cookie itself 🙂 . Ingredients 2 cups (260 grams) all purpose…

Aloo Achari

If this is your first look into my recipes, let me tell you that I am a huge achari fan. Achari means pickled and aloo is potato and so this dish is pickled flavoured potato. My mum is a vegetarian and with all the various achari dishes I had been cooking lately made her want…

Achari Karela Chicken

My executive chef and I tried a new concoction of making achari karela chicken. That’s pickled chicken with bitter gourd. We were pretty spot on but I would like to try using the small karela (bitter gourd) next time cos I think it wouldn’t be so bitter…. Ha ha. But like what my executive chef…

Achari – Chicken/Mutton

I was introduced to a lot of Indian and Pakistani cuisine when I was in the UAE. It was truly mind blowing to have been exposed to such vast variety of cuisines. There is something to be said about the food in UAE. You have the high end restaurants (famous international chains) to little cafeterias…

Paneer Bhurji

Paneer (cottage cheese), you either like it or you don’t. What I normally like to do is to make it scrambled so that it looks and almost tastes like scrambled egg! I love to eat it on its own or butter couple of slices of bread and place the bhurji on it and toast the…
