I know, this post is a bit late but I didn’t have time to load the photos (and trust me, I’ve got LOADS of photos) until now.
Anyway, Thanksgiving is very much an American tradition so over here in Malaysia, we don’t really celebrate it or even know much about it. Still, some establishments seemed to get into the whole Thanksgiving spirit and so, I got invited to a Thanksgiving lunch at The Brasserie at Traders Hotel.
The Senior Citizen Association’s cafetaria is well-known for its Roti Babi, Spring Rolls and several other dishes for quite a long time already. In fact, The Food Critic brought me to this place more than a decade ago and now, finally, I have a chance to share their great food with everyone else!

Now, although the cafetaria has signs proclaiming ‘member only’, it is open to the public. So, you don’t have to be a senior citizen who’s a member of the association to eat there. I may not be . . . → Read More: Great homecooked food at the Senior Citizen Association’s cafetaria
I’ve been meaning to learn to make our own hamburgers so that we do not need to eat those store-bought frozen hamburgers which are oily and full of MSG. Considering hamburgers merely consist of ground meat, how hard can it be right?
Besides, The Food Critic is really crazy about hamburgers. Every time we go to the grocery store, he simply must stop at the frozen food and pick out a packet of hamburgers. A few times when we do eat out, he’d insist on choosing an American restaurant like TGIF serving good burgers (nope, it is definitely not . . . → Read More: Homemade herbed hamburgers, two ways to eat it
Beware: This post contains pictures of fried chicken that are definitely NOT healthy nor oil-free nor low-fat so be prepared for some artery-clogging but worth-every-bite sorta recipe!
I love fried chicken. There’s no two ways about it. If you follow this blog, I am sure you’ve probably read my ravings of Uncle Bob’s Fried Chicken. Heck, I even posted my own version of crunchy fried chicken quite a while back.
And now, I’ve found another fried chicken recipe and promptly gave it a try – a la Foong style. Yep, instead of following the full . . . → Read More: Chicken Recipes: Spicy Southern Fried Chicken
I have been reading too many of Jessie’s (The Hungry Mouse) meaty posts and finally, I gave in and tried one of her pork ribs recipe.
Except that I didn’t follow the recipe.
Again.
I just borrowed her recipe and substituted some of the stuff…okay, okay, so I practically added a whole lot of different ingredients except for the pork ribs…so, it is definitely different from her recipe. But still, I do owe it to her as I got the idea for this recipe from her Aleppo Chili Pork Ribs with Peach and Lime Recipe.
Whenever I cook during the weekends, I always do it in the shortest time possible because I’d usually be alone at home with my toddler. It is not a good idea to spend too much time in the kitchen while watching over a toddler who likes to get up to all sorts of mischief.
So, I usually do a lot of short-cuts in my cooking and one of it is to use the same sauce for two different types of mains and yet come up with absolute different flavours for both of it. Curious? Read on to find . . . → Read More: One sauce, two main dishes
When we mention spaghetti, the first thing that came to mind is the tomato-based, Italian style spaghetti. You know, the one with Bolognese and loads of tomatoes. Well, there are quite a few people I know who don’t really go for the tomato-based spaghetti. Some of them find it too sour or too darn weird.Then, there’s the creamy-based spaghetti which many Asians don’t quite like too because of it’s rich, creamy base. Well, there is an Asian way to enjoy your spaghetti and it is easy to prepare too.
