Hummus Without Tahini

Posted on January 14, 2025January 14, 2025 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Hummus Without Tahini
Hummus Without Tahini

I love me some hummus but tahini is SO expensive in Malaysia – then one day I thought, can I make hummus WITHOUT tahini? Turns out you can! The secret lies in a pantry staple familiar to every Asian kitchen: sesame oil. While it may not replicate the exact taste of tahini, it’s a great…

Falafel (No Deep-Frying Involved)

Posted on January 1, 2023January 7, 2023 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Falafel (No Deep-Frying Involved)
Falafel (No Deep-Frying Involved)

Dear God, how much I adore falafel but how difficult they can be to get right! After more attempts that I can count, I finally got them perfectly crunchy, golden brown and mad delicious, WITHOUT deep frying too. It took quite a bit of experimentation (read: failed attempts). The hardest part was getting the balls…

Air-fried Dengaku Naku (Miso Eggplant)

A lot of my friends asked me how I made dengaku nasu in an air fryer after I posted it in my Facebook and Instagram stories. Since I aim to please, I thought I’d roughly write up my experience 🙂 Some of you might be asking – what is dengaku nasu? It’s a traditional Japanese…

Mushroom Burger (Vegetarian)

Mushroom Burger (Vegetarian)

In the spirit of eating healthier, I’ve been making more plant-based recipes and last weekend, I attempted something a little more ambitious: vegetarian mushroom burger! (Yes, bean-based vegetarian burgers ones are common but they give me flatulence. Ahem.) Verdict? I loved it! The mushroom texture and flavour tasted amazingly close to meat. I was worried…

Best Shakshuka Ever

One of the most popular dishes during the month of Ramadan sahur is, tadah, shakshuka! Featuring poached eggs in a hearty tomato sauce, this beloved Middle Eastern breakfast dish is perfect for sahur because it’s healthy, nutritionally balanced, keeps you full and most of all, very delicious!

Pengat Pisang

Posted on October 31, 2020June 21, 2021 By Alexandra Wong No Comments on Pengat Pisang
Pengat Pisang

I just realized I’ve never featured a dessert recipe in this website, so what better way than to start with one of my favourites: pengat pisang! What’s pengat, you ask? It’s a popular Malaysian dessert prepared by simmering together sugar, water, santan (coconut milk) and one key starchy ingredient (usually). We usually enjoy it for…

Yummy Veggie Pizza

Yummy Veggie Pizza

As hubby reached for his third slice of my veggie pizza, he grunted, “Make sure you write down the recipe.” Woah, write it down? That was how I knew I had a winner on my hands. Hubby has never explicitly requested me to write down a recipe before. Who thought a VEGETARIAN PIZZA made using…

Afghani Omelette

Afghani Omelette

When it comes to egg breakfast recipes, the Middle East is truly a gift that keeps on giving. The region has blessed us with wonderful egg-centric creations like shakshuka, menemen and cirbil. And I’ve just recently discovered another stunning dish called Afghani omelette. No, despite its name, this doesn’t look like the omelette that we…

Salted Egg Pumpkin

Salted Egg Pumpkin

Who loves salted egg dishes? Salted egg chicken, salted egg prawns, salted egg crabs … drool! Savoury, sweet and creamy, it lends an instant moreish luxe to anything it’s added to. But I’ve not thought about cooking it with pumpkin until I watched Cooking Ah Pa’s Youtube video. It all started when I had a…

Roast Peppers Potato Salad

Roast Peppers Potato Salad

ANOTHER vegetable salad recipe?? Some of my old friends will think I’ve undergone a lobotomy or something. After all, I used to hate vegetables so much that when my mum wasn’t looking, I’d dump the greens on my plate into the drain! But this potato salad recipe is so good that I just HAD to…

Easy Homemade Granola

Chewy, sticky and crunchy. How do you achieve the holy trifecta of great homemade granola? After many failed attempts, I’ve finally arrived at a recipe for an easy homemade granola that can be easily customised with simple additions: a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, a few drops of vanilla essence, dried fruits and berries, etc. I’ve…

Not-your-ordinary Pear Salad

Not-your-ordinary Pear Salad

Pears are not something that i eat OR buy on a regular basis, but then my husband brought one home from a business trip (sometimes, the hotel where he stays delivers a plate of fruits to his room). I popped it into the fridge and completely forgot about it until one day, I opened the…

Salted egg bittergourd

Salted egg bittergourd

This isn’t the first time I’m making restaurant-style stir fried bittergourd with salted egg yolk, but this is the first time I am 100% satisfied with the results. In the past: Not enough sauce. Sauce too thick and crumbly (not saucy enough). Sauce too liquidy (too saucy). Bittergourd too gloopy. This time, I employed a…
