Tonkatsu and Katsudon

Tonkatsu (Breaded pork cutlet)

Tonkatsu, or deep-fried pork cutlets is a family favourite, and preparing it is easier than it looks. Check out this funny video on youtube by Cookingwithdog. The background music reminds me of the Truman show. That dog (the "host" and "narrator") is so still and obedient that sometimes I forget it's a real dog. A little creepy at times. But a great recipe for tonkatsu nonetheless! :)

Malaysian-style Roast Chicken Maryland


Here is an easy roast chicken dish for weeknight dinners.

Vegetable Medallions

Medallions of potato, broccoli and cheese


I was inspired to make some Vegetable Medallions after having tried some at Ikea yesterday, where they served it with stuffed salmon. At first, it looked a little dodgy, but after the first bite, I just couldn't stop eating those medallions that tasted so light and buttery, with bits of potato and broccoli in them.

Bubur Cha Cha


Here's one of my favourite Malaysian desserts called Bubur Cha Cha. It is a combination of yam/taro and sweet potatoes in a rich and milky pandan-infused coconut "soup". Sometimes it contains sago or tapioca balls/pearls. The one I've prepared is the basic version where I've used kumara (orange sweet potatoes) and purple yam (as I couldn't find the normal white/grey one).
