Sweet Potato Buns filled with ~~ Meat Floss / Tuna Mayo

I still got a big pack of yellow flesh sweet potato. I need to find a way to consume this ingredient before it's too late, although they can last for a long period in the fridge. So I make again the bread dough with sweet potato, and stuffed the buns with meat floss and tuna chunks mix with mayonnaise.

Merry Christmas~~ Chocolate Bauble (Pound Cake Based)

My youngest brother need a special menu to bring for a Christmas party he attend tonight. Thus I make him some pound cake balls coat with chocolate sauce~~ which known as chocolate bauble. Hope everybody enjoys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Chocolate Mousse Cake in a Cup (Chiffon Cake Based)

I made Chocolate Mousse Chiffon Cupcake for my youngest boy 1st year birthday.

You would feel satisfy although it needs a lot of effort to make, so have a good try today.

Merry X'mas~~ Santa Claus Salad

I saw this creative yet simple salad from one of my favorite cooking blogs~~ the Vege Santa Claus made from cherry tomato and potato. You can have one in your X'mas party too.

Dual-colored Sweet Potato Roll

I bought two types of sweet potato: yellow and purple to make a sweet potato roll. But then I discovered that purple flesh is much creamier while the yellow one is quite rough and dry, although both of them known as sweet potato. That alerts me when I add in the liquid to the dough. It is not necessary the dough with yellow flesh will need the same amount of liquid as the dough with purple one. So it depends on the type of sweet potato you used. Thus the quantity of milk in this recipe is just a guide, please adjust the portion accordingly. Enjoy your sweet baking moment.

Hotdog

A new Monday, but I think I got a Monday blue. The blue answer from my boy "Don't know what to eat lah mummy?".....Oh blue blue blue..... Make a short way ~ Hotdog!!

Boil Egg & Boil Chicken Sandwich

There are times I'm really out of idea what to have for my boy's lunch. He doesn't likes the noodle recently, that really crack my head. He gives me the answer "Don't know lah!!" when I ask him what he wants for his lunch everyday. I don't want to take the risk to cook something new for him, so I'll make something simple like sandwich or burger, and put some mayonnaise and cheese in it. He loves that every time i made.

It has been a long time I didn't make the Lasagna. Well, this time I'm going to make my own fresh pasta instead of buying the pre-packed from supermarket. You may buy the wheat flour specifically for pasta-making, but I'm using simple all-purpose flour. Here's the recipe.

Golden Pumpkin Bun filled with Cheesy Bacon

I've made the pumpkin flavored buns filled with bacon and a bunch of cheese, where both adults and kids would love them so much.

Bread Pudding

 

I got some leftover white toasts in the kitchen. Thus I'm using them to make a simple bread pudding for my son.

Mashed Potato Casserole

I saw a chef in AFC channel did a dish similar like this long ago. I'm not really remember the ingredients and the steps, but one thing for sure he piped the mashed potato on top of the dish before send to bake. Thus i search from internet, and I believe the most suitable title for this would be mashed potato casserole even I'm not using the said cookware.
Creativity is necessary in the kitchen, agree?

Crispy Chicken in Teriyaki Sauce & Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

Another struggling day for my boy's lunch. So I start off with a golden crispy chicken coated with Teriyaki sauce, and the sweet potato coated with golden breadcrumb.

Ban Mee/Mee Hoon Kway (板面/面粉馃)

Ban Mee or Mee Hoon Kway is my favorite noodle, especially made by my mom. She uses anchovy/ikan bilis (江鱼仔) stock, shredded  chicken, fried anchovy/ikan bilis,  sauropus androgynus/sayur manis (树仔菜) to cook the said noodle. Anyway, I make some changes on the ingredient in my version. So here's the recipe:

Siew Pau (烧包)

Siew Pau (烧包) is a famous snack originated from Seremban. The golden crispy pastry filled with sweet and juicy BBQ pork (叉烧) makes it one of the everyone's favorite food.
Of course, you can have your own made siew pau for your loved ones over here. But one thing to remind, this recipe produce a much softer and flakier pastry then the ordinary Siew Pau. This most probably due to the high content of shortening in both shortcrust and flaky pastry dough.  Wait no more, let's go...

Instant Mushroom Soup with Puff Pastry Cap & Instant Garlic Bread

There are many ways to have the nice creamy soup in puff pastry, as well as the garlic bread. You can choose the traditional way to prepare them from first step till the last by yourself, or the instant way like me. I used the instant mushroom soup and the ready-made buns for this recipe, but I added a little creativity on the pastry decorating.

Mini Chocolate Tarts

My boy's kindergarden going to have a concert rehearsal on coming Sunday. The principal asking the parent's favor to sponsor some food on the day. Thus I make some mini chocolate tarts for the event.

Bread Sushi Roll

A simple and kids-loving dish, at least my son likes it.... All you need is some toast and any ingredient you wish to add to your sushi, roll and cut. That's it!!

A Simple Dish~Frittata

Ohhhh~~~another headache day to prepare the lunch for my boy. What he wants to eat?????? Ok, be cool!! Go for a Frittata, eggs, hams, corn kernels, cheese.....sounds nice to me :P

Chocolate Chiffon Cupcake

A simple and easy-to-make chiffon cupcakes. You can add any flavor to the cakes, like chocolate in this recipe. One thing to remind, this recipe is not so sweet and you can even taste the little bitter from the cocoa powder. If you prefer a sweeter taste, please adjust the sugar's portion in the recipe accordingly.

Steam Bun with BBQ Pork Belly Filling

I've made the BBQ Pork Belly few days back, so I'm going to take it as the filling for the steam bun today. Steam bun with BBQ pork filling is always a popular dish in every dim sum restaurant. But you can produce your really pure home made one from your kitchen too.

BBQ Pork Belly (叉烧)

I wanted to try a home made BBQ pork (叉烧) long ago, but I'm not really interested if it is roast in oven. It usually will dry up the meat if lack of experience to handle it. Thus I found a simple recipe from web and most important part is no Oven needed. You just need a wok or pan. And this recipe will ensure the meat is tender and juicy.

Home Made Pasta

It's quite a while I didn't cook the pasta in my kitchen. Today I'm going to make the pasta myself instead of using the pre-packed from the supermarket. It's really simple to make, and you can get those common ingredients from your kitchen easily.

Cinnamon-Coffee-Gula Melaka Roll

Cinnamon is a type of spice with strong fragrance. But not everybody can stand with it, like me and my family. Frankly speaking, I really dislike it due to its strong smell even you are far from it. But things change, and I'm changing too. This was happened when i made an apple pie for the first time ever. The apples taste and smell sweeter with the present of cinnamon, so i need to have my first try with the cinnamon. And this sweet experience had changed my mindset. Since then I'm kind of liking it.
This time I'm moving further with the spice, and accompany it with 2 new partners~coffee and gula melaka. The aroma is really nice to me. So maybe you can try this combination in  your recipe one day.

Ra-men in Home-Made Teriyaki Sauce

Another simple Japanese cuisine to prepare at home. You can have any Japanese noodle like Udon/Ra-men, and flavor it with Teriyaki sauce which you can make it yourself too. Besides noodle, Teriyaki sauce is applicable in almost any dish like vegetable, seafood, meat, chicken and etc. It basically a combination of soy sauce, mirin (smells like rice wine and tastes sweet as stated in the source i found), sugar. But I've substituted the mirin with ginger wine (the only wine used in my kitchen)  in mine version.

Home-Made Tortilla Wrap with Grilled Chicken

We can easily get the pre-packaged tortilla from supermarket. But you can have your own home-made one at your kitchen too. The ingredients are easy-to-get, and i believe it is far more cheaper than the pre-packed. Sandwich it with anything you prefer. Wala, there you have a tasty yet healthy snack in a minute.

Simple Home-made Burger Patty

Me and my boy are bored to have the same menu over and over every week. Noodle, fried rice, porridge, sometime sandwich.... As usual, i asked him what to have for his lunch today, he answered "Don't know.....". Oops, that sounds bad to me! "Mom, I want burger". OK, the burger is on today...

Apple Pies

Besides mango ice-cream i made, i got another idea to mix the fruit in my boy's diet~ Apple pies. Just use the frozen puff pastry bought from supermarket, you could have instant yet delicious pastry at your own home sweet home.

Mango Yogurt Ice-cream

Sometime is hard to get the kids to eat the fruit on its own. Example my son (ya, typical food-picker). So, I was wondering how to make him to like the fruit? Ice-cream? Ya, kids love ice-cream! But it's quite high calories and the fat too if I'm using creamer. What if yogurt? Yogurt ice-cream, healthier and contains lots of probiotics which is good to our health. So let's try this simple recipe.

Pizza Topping with Hawaiian Tuna & Bacon

Sometime i'm quite lazy to clean up the mess in the kitchen, especially on the stove. So I'll use the oven to cook for me. Just put in your dish and let the oven does the cooking, and the best part is smoke free and oil-spill free. Ok, then what is the best menu i can have for my boy? Pizza! He likes it (sometimes) and I can rely on the oven to bake it nicely. How about the topping? Aiya, anything will do, as long as there is cheeseeeeee......

Cute Animal Shaped Steam Buns

This time i got few leftover sweet potatoes in my fridge. So i decided to make a group of steam buns without filling, which sometime we call it Man-tou (馒头) for my boy. Mmmm, how to attaract him to love the buns? Cute animals of course!! Turn those buns into cuties animals like porcupine, rabbits, kids gonna love them so much...Well, a mom always a genius to her child right? haha :P

Simple Deco Birthday Cake (Sponge cake based)

I am making my elder son and my bro-in-law's birthday cake, since their lunar calendar birthday is quite near to each.  I know my sense of art is not really creative, thus cake garnishing part I'll try to make something simple (but not guarantee nice one lah!! you can see from the pic above....). Therefore, i have to make sure the cake tastes nice, in order to 'help' them to forgive me on such "Art Attack" deco.....

Pumpkin Fillling with Salted Egg Yolk Flaky Pastry (金瓜咸蛋黄酥/黄金酥)

Mid-autumn/ mooncake festival falls on 8 Sept 2014 this year.  I'm not really addicted to the mooncakes selling in the market, there are too sweet for me. Thus i have another option: salted egg yolk flaky pastry. I choose to use the pumpkin filling instead of red bean/lotus. Add a light pandan flavor, it smells and tastes nice and unique which you won't find this in anywhere.

Omelette Roll by Sandwich Maker

I don't exactly know how to named this, but this is super simple and fun. I'm using the grill plate in 3-in-1 sandwich maker (grill/waffle/sandwich) to make this meal. And the best part is I don't have to clean up the stove at the end.

Chicken Based Pizza

An easy and simple way to have a pizza without using any dough. Yup, I'm using a chicken breast as the dough base. Just topping with any ingredient and cheese (compulsory!!), you will enjoy this dish for sure.

Grill Chicken

Sometime i feel headache when i want my big boy to eat anything i cooked, but i know it takes time to change. He quite picky too on the chicken. Thus i decided to make him a home grill chicken. Mmmm, it tastes fine to me even a bit burned at the outer skin, but my boy tried 1 small piece and refuse to take the second try. Well, at least a good start.

Korokke (可乐饼)

Korokke is a famous dish among the kids, and adults too. Korokke usually coated with golden brown outer skin, which really make the kids appetite for food. And one more thing, it is sure a good 'place' to stuff in something that your kids dislike. Therefore my korokke mix with chicken and french bean, which my big boy doesn't really like them.

Pumpkin Flaky Pastries (南瓜酥)

I've made the pumpkin paste, now I'm move on to make the flaky pastry. I'm not used to keep the salted eggs in my kitchen, so I can only produce purely pumpkin flaky pastry without the present of salted egg.

Pumpkin Paste (Filling)

Mid-autumn festival (or mooncake festival) is one of the Chinese celebrations of a year. People used to serve mooncakes and salted egg flaky pastries (咸蛋酥) during the festival, it gives me some ideas.
There are assorted flavors for the salted egg flaky pastry's filling, like red bean, lotus, lotus in pandan. I want something unique, why don't i go for the pumpkin one since there is still a big chunk in my fridge? It is time to clean up the fridge now!!

Pumpkin Noodle and Meatballs in Mushroom Gravy

I made a simple dish for my elder son by using the homemade pumpkin noodle posted previously. He doesn't like to eat the meat except there are in meatball. Hence, i have to transform the minced meat into meatballs. The gravy I used was instant mushroom soup. He would definitely love it

Home Made Pumpkin Noodle

I've planned long ago to have my own home made noodle. But it didn't work out since i don't have the noodle cutter/roller.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law brought me one few weeks ago. So, is time to let the dream comes true. My first try: Pumpkin flavored noodle.

Frittata (意式烘蛋)

When I was watching "Giada at Home" on Food Network channel yesterday, Giada shared us a recipe "Frittata". This is a great dish for those food-picker like my elder son. Just put in anything you like (I'm putting vegetable definitely!!) and they are "hidden" in the egg mixture...
My son said to me "Mummy, i wanna try this! They look nice!!" Ok, I'm on today for the requested recipe.

Clay-pot Chicken Rice

Clay-pot chicken rice is a popular street food in Malaysia. It tastes totally different from the ordinary chicken rice where the chicken used to steamed or grilled. The cookware we need here is a clay-pot. Here is my simple recipe:

Golden Roses Steam Buns

Steam bun (包 Bao in chinese) is a Chinese cuisine you can found in any dim sum restaurant, or the stall selling newspaper besides the street. Steam bun can be served with stuffed filling like meat, vegetable, red bean/lotus paste etc. But there are also without any filling which I'm going to share in this recipe.
The method to prepare the steam bun is similar to the bun/bread. The difference is there are steam to cooked instead of oven-bake.

Cheese tart is not something new to us, but you must be surprised if i admit that i never taste a cheese tart before. Well, that's because I'm preferred the cheese in savoury instead of sweet.
