Tomato Rice
We prepared this deliciously easy tomato rice dish during our Penang Cooking Class, which was served with Penang Achar and Chicken Rendang. Of all the dished we made during this class, this is probably the only one I could manage at home (aka this was the easiest to prepare and took the least amount of … Continue reading
Penang Cooking Class
One of the best parts about being in Singapore is… well, how easy it is to get out. Singapore’s central location in Southeast Asia makes it the ultimate travel hub for quick weekend getaways. My goal is to travel at least once a month and so far, I’m right on track! I tend to choose … Continue reading
Lamb and Winter Vegetable Stew
Winter doesn’t really exist in Singapore; it’s ridiculously hot and humid all year round. That whole equator proximity thing… The seasons we do experience here can be characterized as wet and dry, although the lines are blurred because it can rain even during non-monsoon season. Which it does… often. However, when it is monsoon season, … Continue reading
Food Comas: Top 10 in 2012
Ugh I know we have been incredibly lazy with the blog. With my move abroad to Singapore, Natalya traveling all over the world (read all her amazing adventures on her much more timely updated travel blog), and my sister Pris having some exciting life changes… foodcomas has fallen to the wayside. I am very … Continue reading
Thanksgiving Leftovers Eggs Benedict
After my belated Thanksgiving celebration last weekend, I had a bunch of leftovers from the meal. I found a recipe online for Not So Humble Pie’s Turkey Eggs Benedict on Potato Cakes and thought it was such a creative way to use up my leftover mashed potatoes to form a “bread” base for a turkey … Continue reading
Wild Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto
I’ve never made risotto before; Jen is usually spearheading carb consumption in this household with pasta and rice dishes. But I have a bunch of Arborio Rice in the cupboard and it needed to be used up. And since now is the prime time for woodsy mushrooms, I decided to combine some delicious chanterelles and … Continue reading
Sirloin Steak
My exploits with steak on this blog have thus far been with Filet Mignon and Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon. Those are really nice cuts of meat (also expensive) and hard to mess up I think. I needed a cheaper alternative to feed my carnivorous urges, so I turned to sirloin, which is less than half the … Continue reading
Salmon Burgers
This is another recipe from Food Perestroika, the Eastern Bloc food blog I’ve been perusing, and definitely one I will make over and over again. I made the burgers for a couple friends and these delicious suckers were devoured very quickly. Technically I guess these Salmon Burgers aren’t super Eastern Blok-y, with the bok choy … Continue reading
Kālua Pork
Our buddy James cooks up an awesome Hawaiian BBQ dinner (inspired by ryan + gma). Every time he announces he is making his (now) famous Kālua pork, I head over the his apartment with extra Tupperware to pack up any scrumptious leftovers for lunch the next day! Kālua, which means “to cook in an underground … Continue reading
Filet Mignon
For as much of a carnivore as I am, I don’t actually dabble with cooking steak very often. I made a Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignon the other week and it was quite tasty, but I’ve wanted to improve. So I bought a few tenderloins and really wanted to focus on the meat and not on the … Continue reading
