Yes, this is the first blog entry since I have successfully completed my accounting exam! A lot of dishes I cooked with new adaptations have escaped being documented while my own laptop is choking its last breaths before it threatens to go lifeless. Freedom from not having to study for the summer, however, is delicious. …
Spring is flirting around the corner — that means one possible thing: fishing or hopefully catch some thing in the summer. Catching a fish with me is quite the comical scene. Countless weeds and somehow, catching the motor or Mike’s rod instead of a fish. The man sure has lots of patience to even try …
3 words: I did it! This is my second attempt at Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon (beef stew in red wine, with bacon, onions, and mushrooms). I love the way how tomato paste works with meat in a carefully chosen red wine — the mixture of the herbs/spices, beef stock and red wine, along with the …
Since my last pizza post, I’ve made Nutella Pizza, a calzone and a cheese-stuffed crust pizza. Also, I have attempted frying pizzas! Fried pizza dough (by itself) is actually quite delicious, especially when you’ve got a butter-based curry sauce to dip in — it’s almost like a lazily adapted nan bread! Pizza making is actually …

When people hear about making pizza from scratch, it’s the dough-making that scares them away. I’ve tried many recipes; an old-fashioned recipe where it takes over 4 …

As I did promise, I would cook a fish curry — known as “Kari Ikan” in Malay. Now, fish can be prepared in different ways: butter and herbs (grilled or baked), in the style of “Fish and Chips”, steamed with ginger, sweet and sour, and curry. Fish is often very well served in Brunei. You …

What’s for supper? Cheesy broccoli soup, potato pancakes and beef goulash. All made from scratch! It’s amazing what a blender can do to make vegetables a delicious soup! Before I blabber about what goes in each dish, I’d like to thank my boyfriend for taking this picture — my digital camera sort of died on …
