Lemon Yogurt Apple Cake

Star Q


It has been quite a while since I baked a cake and the day we went visiting my sister-in-law and her husband was a good opportunity for me to bake again.  All I knew at that time was I wanted to bake an apple cake.

Laksa Sarawak Parte Dos

Star Q


It has been quite some time since I had the pleasure of enjoying a bowl of Laksa Sarawak.  The last time I made it (can't remember when) I prepared it from scratch even when many of my Sarawak friends told me that it was much easier to use the ready-made spice mix.

Kohlrabi Pancakes

Star Q


I was busy choosing some vegetables to stock up in the fridge last Saturday, when someone beside me asked me about the strange looking vegetable (to him, not to me!) I was holding in my hand.  Even the vegetable seller did not know the name of the vegetable.  So, when I answered 'kohlrabi', he frowned at me, as did a few other people around us.

Star Q

Friday is a day of much anticipation when the two of us discuss what to prepare and will usually be busy with spring-cleaning the house.  Since March this year, every other weekend have got us drawing up special menus.

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.

Easy Peasy Mini Chicken Pot Pie

Star Q


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.
