Honeycomb and Calamansi Drink

One of the things my MIL always pack for us in her regular delivery is honeycomb rock sugar.  She says it's a good substitute for normal rock sugar since it is made with honey and cane sugar, hence is more nourishing.

Much has been said and written about the health benefits of juicing.  Our family started a regular juicing routine when we bought a Ladyship super blender last year.

Shrimp and Cashew Nut Salad, Thai Style

We had just returned from a family holiday in Bangkok about a fortnight ago.  Ever since then, I've been on a Thai food cooking frenzy :P  The smell of fish sauce, lime, lemon grass and other related aromatics have been wafting from the kitchen for the past many days.  The neighbours must be wondering if a Thai family has moved in!

Marmite Chicken Wings

My favourite yeast spread is not Marmite or Vegemite but Promite. Both Marmite and Vegemite are saltier and have a more "spikey" taste (for lack of a better word).

Chilled Strawberries with Honey Plum Sauce

There is this cafe that hubs and i like to frequent whenever we are back in Ipoh. This little eatery makes all kinds of snacks and desserts using strawberries as the main ingredient.

Guilt Free Banana Muffins

I promise you this is one muffin that you can eat as many as you want and not have to worry about the waist line.  The key is to get the base right.  Once you have perfected it, the options for add-ons are endless.

Black Pomfret in Black Sauce ala Malay Style

I am blessed with generous in-laws who regularly supply us with seafood and meats bought fresh from the Ipoh markets so that i don't have to brave the wet market here (hallelujah!) or buy overpriced (yet sometimes lower quality) cuts from the hypermarkets. 

Pan Fried Prawns

If you have read my post on Stir Fry Roast Pork with Chives, I mentioned that my mum cooked regularly for the family when we were growing up. Because she also worked full time, time was not a luxury she had in the kitchen. So mum became an expert on wokking up dishes that require minimal ingredients.   One of our all-time favourite dishes is this Pan Fried Prawns.
