Keto Lemon Loaf

Keto Lemon Loaf

Loving my keto lemon loaf so much! … keto? How did I, inveterate lover of carbs, end up on the keto bandwagon? This was partly inspired by a chat I had with a dietician when my parents came down in KL for medical appointments. She posited that adopting a low-carb diet can reverse diabetes. Or…

Serious breakfast-y yumminess going on! I ordered Serious breakfast-y yumminess going on! I ordered a sourdough brioche from @kookycream , so I wanted to do something a little special. Found the answer in an oldie-but-goodie cookbook by @ainsleyfoods , a British celebrity chef who writes with such joy and humour! Check out his "admired avocado salsa pasta" 😂😂 I made his melting eggy bread. I know right - the name alone gets your salivary glands working and neural cells on fire! So back to his stuffed French toast. You basically scatter a slice of bread with cheese, and other diced goodies that cook fast, top it with another slice of bread, and soak both sides of the sandwich in beaten egg before frying them up, French toast style. Easy as pie! With the leftover egg, I did a standard scramble and scattered the top with chopped spring onions and a dash of truffle oil. Yum!!! Using the brioche really makes a difference. A brioche is essentially a super buttery soft bread and when you spread MORE butter on top of a crispy-edged toasted slice, oh my you can imagine the fragrance! #Frenchtoast #sourdough #brioche #breakfast #eggs #scrambledeggs #breakfastofchampions #cookwithipohbunny #hikayatdapuriskandariah #breakfastfood #homecook #Malaysianhomecooks #homechef #homecooking #breakfasteggs #bread

I'm 61.9kg today, actually 3 kg lighter than my we I'm 61.9kg today, actually 3 kg lighter than my wedding day. My sugar reading also came down to a normal level. I attribute this to a combination of regular exercise (Pilates) and a home cooked diet. It could be better. The last few days were rough, which is why I wanted to try on my personal Disney ballgown and cheer myself up again. Every year, I wear my wedding dress several times. It's my way of checking my weight. I still have a lot of work to do, but for a start, it feels good that the dress is looser and more comfortable than ever before. Stay healthy and safe everyone. And don't take your health for granted.
A sweet-sticky condiment of slow-cooked onions, on A sweet-sticky condiment of slow-cooked onions, onion jam is typically served with burgers in Western restaurants. It tastes nice, but was nothing I got excited about. .... until I ate a version made by a friend in Singapore, using her personal recipe. Holy smokes. Served on plain buttered sourdough, there was a dark molasses-y sweetness, a gentle vinegary tartness, and a savoury, deeply concentrated onion flavour that I had never experienced in commercial versions. So this was what properly made onion jam tasted like. Grown-up. SPECTACULAR. This is thanks to two key processes. 1. The Maillard reaction. A chemical process that takes place between amino acids and the sugar in the onions when cooking at high heats, the Maillard reaction is the reason that onions become brown. 2. Caramelisation. This means water gets removed and the sugar breaks down, resulting in that complex, meltingly sweet flavour that makes onion jam so irresistible. Not sure how to use onion jam? You can eat it with burgers, steaks and grilled cheese sandwich. In this video, I show you how to put one together using @tedboybakery's sourdough bread :) Enjoy!

Meet my rice casserole inspired by the Spanish pae Meet my rice casserole inspired by the Spanish paella :) I have a sudden craving for #paella . After studying a bunch of recipes, I was fascinated to discover multiple variations to the dish, from the ingredients used to cooking technique. Though most use a wide pan, some bake and grill it. What jumped out to me was that a great paella boils down to 2 things: 1) The rice is cooked in and infused with flavours from a rich stock 2) The flavour is further boosted by spices (usually saffron), fresh vegetables (peppers) and protein (cured meat like chorizo & fresh meat like chicken or seafood) I didn't have chorizo or saffron, and given the lockdown, I wasn't interested in going out just to shop for two ingredients. Enter curry powder & cheap-ass cheese Ayam sausage! Think about it. Curry powder is commonly used to impart complexity to dishes beyond just curries (think pineapple fried rice, Singapore fried mee, Vietnamese beef stew), while sausage adds savouriness. For stock, I had leftover ABC soup AND prawn stock. OMG, each grain was an umami bomb. Huge flavours in every bite. We wiped the casserole dish CLEAN. So before it slips my mind, here are the rough steps: 2 pax 1. Dice up 1/3 each of green, red and yellow pepper; 2 shallots; 2 garlic; 10 cherry tomatoes 2. Prep protein: I used 4 tiger prawns and 1 ½ sliced sausages. 3. Heat up 2 tbs oil and saute garlic, shallots, peppers and tomatoes for 5-6 minutes. Push vegs to the side. 4. Now add sausage slices and fry on both sides until they start to brown. 5. Add rice and stir together with the other ingredients. 6. Add enough stock to submerge rice. It's ok to add a little more because if you add more, you just have to cook it longer for the liquid to evaporate. Add too little and you might end up with undercooked rice. Season. 7. Pour into baking dish. Top with prawns & green peas. 8. I baked it in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 C and then cooked it over the stovetop for another 10 minutes, but next time I'll just cook it on stovetop. Thank you Spain for inspiring this Malaysian to do her own take on paella. I'd love to taste (and cook) the original dish someday! #fusiondish #Spanishcuisine
This video took me forever to make, but it was wor This video took me forever to make, but it was worth it. Watch my mama demo how to make yam cake - plus I share a few of my own cowboy hacks to make the process easier :P To be honest, I've always wanted to shoot a video of mum in action and I tried taking a few clips years ago. But you know lah. I knew nuts about filming, my hands were shaky, and the end results looked so bad that I gave up after shooting just one or two steps. Aiyo, like that how to put together a cooking video? People want complete instructions mah, not truncated scenes. Some more now with COVID, how to go back and shoot the entire cooking process? And thus the idea fell by the wayside  ..until a recent conversation with a filmmaker friend, who gave me all kinds of ideas and advice. I had a lightbulb moment - what if I SPLICE those old footage of my mum with clips of me going through the whole process of making them? That way, there would be a sense of nostalgia, rather than a sense of incompleteness. Or I hope so, anyway. So after many weeks, I put together my yam cake video. My goal these days is to capture precious moments for posterity, and where my parents are concerned, a way to give back to them and show them how much I appreciate the lessons they've imparted to me, truncated scenes and all.

Love chocolate cake, but feel it's difficult and t Love chocolate cake, but feel it's difficult and time consuming to make? Folks, meet my Chocolate Wet Cake. This was crazy delicious, even though I'm sure I didn't get all the steps right, estimated some of the measurements, and didn't chill it long enough because it looked so tantalizing I didn't chill it for two hours before cutting it. Because. Just look at it. LOOK AT IT. Hubby says this is like the poke cake in the US. Poke cake  is a cake recipe that has holes poked in it after baking, usually with the handle of a wooden spoon or a wooden skewer. Then a liquid is poured over the baked cake to soak into the holes. In this case, that liquid is a chocolate sauce so you can imagine the effect. As a friend DMed me after seeing my instastory, "what sorcery is this?" The sorcercess is chef @refikabirgul, who should be Turkey's national treasure!! What I love about her recipes is that they are very simple, but incorporate clever, practical techniques that truly elevate a dish from delicious to stunning. How to make? Very simple, go to Refika's Youtube but just to give you an idea, these are the basic steps 1. Make a chocolate as per normal 2. While cake is baking, make a chocolate sauce 3. After cake is done, remove from oven and poke holes all over the cake. 4. Pour sauce over the cake so it flows into the cake and fills up the holes. 5. Magic on your tongue and in your belly. Btw, this is also my first proper cake made with measurements and a mixing bowl. Congrats me! Hahah! I did change the original recipe a littlesince I'm watching my sugar. I used Lakanto instead of sugar, and used half butter and half oil, which makes the cake denser than Refika's. But doesn't change the fact that it's so luxe and decadent and freaking delicious. I foresee that I will be making it again, and again, and again. #chocolatewetcake #refikabirgul #chocolatecake #bestchocolatecakerecipe #chocolatesauce #ultimatechocolatecake #chocolatelover #chocolate #lakantorecipes #cookwithipohbunny #hikayatdapuriskandariah #homebaker #bakingathome #simplerecipes #sweettooth
Roasted chicken with fish sauce butter. Thank you Roasted chicken with fish sauce butter. Thank you @ericjoonho for this best-thing-since-KFC chicken dish. Otherwise known as a "why didn't I think of it?" recipe. I mean, the sauce combination is screamingly simple yet so delicious. Umami (fish sauce and butter), sweet (brown sugar) and acidic (lemon juice, though I used pickled juice as that's what I had). And scattering torn pieces of bread to soak up the chicken juices halfway to finish baking with the chicken so they become crunchy little umami bombs. Ingenious! Method, flavour combo, ease of preparation - win in every category. #moveoverkfc #bestthingsincekfc #nytcooking #foodblogger #cookwithipohbunny #homecook #simplerecipes #chicken #chickenrecipes #bakedchicken #Asianinspired #fishsauce
