Tonkatsu, aka Japanese deep-fried pork cutlet, is one my ultimate and favourite food. Juicy and moist pork chop coated with a simple panko and deep-fried to perfection – it’s extremely sinful but also extremely satisfying all at the same time. I found 2 pork chops at home when I was checking my freezer stock, but as…

Asian-Style Turkey-Pork Meatballs
When my previous stash of meatballs ran out, I decided to experiment with a different meatball recipe, using different meat and seasoning. The plan was to get minced chicken, but due to language barrier and my lack of observation skills, I had gotten a bag of minced turkey instead.
Crispy Durian Rolls
I grow up loving durians. When I was a kid, we used to go back to Malaysia to visit my grandparents during the June school holidays. Coincidentally, June is also the durian season, so my grandfather would always bring back a huge gunny sack of durians on one of the days we were back. All…
Creamy Baked Chicken Meatballs and Mushrooms
I made this dish actually quite some time back but didn’t have the chance to blog about it until today. There were baking events here and there, so I had to prioritise blogging them even though I baked them later – oops! This is another easy and delicious recipe that I found from one of…
Baked Cheesy Chicken (Martha Stewart) and Corelle® Frost Set Review
Can’t believe it’s already the last day of 2012 – as cliché as it may sound – time really flies! I went to do a quick calculation of my posts, and I found out that this is my 100th post for the year! It was a huge improvement as compared to last year (I only…
Cheesy Mushroom and Chicken Baked Rice
I’m never a fan of baked rice as those I’ve tasted outside are always a tad too creamy and milky for me – and I can never finish one whole plate by myself. X, on the other hand, loves baked rice so much that I decided to try baking one for him. While researching for…

Jamie Oliver’s Meatball-Tomatoes Cheesy Bake
I was watching TV a few weeks back and one channel was re-playing one of Jamie Oliver’s old cooking series – Oliver Twist. Jamie whipped up a baked meatballs-tomatoes dish for his pals that looked really delicious, so I immediately decided to give this recipe a go. I tweaked his recipe a little as I…
Baked Chicken-Pork Meatballs
Let’s take a break from all the desserts today, shall we? This post is all about meat, meat and meat! (For non-meat lovers, please don’t worry, the next post will be about something chocolatey and peanut-buttery!) Just imagine – a meatball consisting of minced chicken, minced pork, and smoky bacon mixed with a medley of…
Baked Chicken Cutlet… Again!
Looking at these babies are making me famish right now. It is so, so easy to prepare and it’s way healthier than the ones sold outside… because these chicken cutlets are baked, not deep-fried! Though of course it will not taste like those deep-fried ones, but they are still good. Really, really good. This time…
Baked Chicken Cutlet
Just imagine: 16 eggs, 360 grams of sugar, almost half a kilo of cake flour, teaspoon after teaspoon of vanilla extract. And guess what that yielded? Four failed sponge cakes. Some are springy, some are not that spongy. But all of the m have such a strong eggy smell that is just… oomph. I can’t…
Potato and Mozzarella Croquettes and Baked Fries
First of all, a very big HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! I hope everyone is looking forward to start 2009 with a big bang. Unfortunately for me, school is starting VERY soon and hence I’m going to have less time to dedicate myself into baking and I’m sure the updates will start to get slower….
