Today's dessert seems to wear many different hats. In Singapore, it is known as Bubur Suji (literal translation: Semolina porridge) and it is often associated with Arab cuisine. I, on the other hand, associate it more with Indian cuisine. It is a very popular dessert in India called Sooji/Rava kheer. Kheer is basically an Indian dessert that is made from…

Ayam Berlado Hijau – Chicken in Green Chili Sambal

Namaste everyone! We have about 20 days to Ramadan. In my mind, the countdown started 100 days back though. I absolutely love Ramadan for a couple of reasons.

Butter Chicken Meatballs

November 9, 2020

Mee Soto Recipe

I’m a sucker for soups, or maybe I am just a sucker for something that does not require much efforts. I mean if I have a pot of chicken soup on the stove, my meal for the day is done. I love chicken soup on it's own or with noodles. Best would be macaroni though, totally my kinda comfort food.…
