Lockdown Day #27 : Tomato Rice (Nasi Tomato)

This is not the (overrated) Tomato Rice which was a craze at one time. This is the real deal, aromatic and truly delicious when paired with any sort of curry.

Kimchi Fried Rice

I had a little bit of the cauliflower kimchi leftover and this kimchi is not meant to be kept for a long time, unlike the regular napa cabbage kimchi.

Ring! Ring! Boh Lang! Boh Lang!

Many years ago, I had a client whose aged mother lived with him. The old lady was often left alone at home when her son and daughter-in-law were at their shop. 

Easy Food Prep : My Five Treasure Rice

You know how some Chinese restaurant dishes have very high sounding names like 8 treasure something-something, what-what-what-in superior stock and what not. This is probably due to the direct translation and please excuse me, I cringe at such names. 

Rice Cooker Savory Rice

Or in other words, this is another of my lazy food prep strategies. This is the one that is dumped and cooked in my trusty rice cooker. And what come out is so super delicious heh...heh...

Multigrain Rice

The first time I saw purple colored rice was on the Nene Chicken menu for Dosirak. I was quite curious why the rice was purple.

Cranberry BBQ Sauce Duck and Rice

Did anyone visit the Popular Bookstore warehouse stock clearance at The Starling? That happened last month and since I practically go to The Starling everyday, of course I dropped by. 

Siew Yoke and Siew Kai One Pot Rice

My partner brought home some frozen siew yoke (Chinese roasted pork), siew kai (Chinese roasted chicken) and siew ngap (Chinese roasted duck) last weekend. 

My OMAD Steak & Rice Bowl

OMAD stands for One Meal A Day. Yes, makan satu kali sehari saja. Boleh tahan? It is one of the intermittent fasting protocols where you fast for 23 hours and eat during a one hour window.

Dirty Rice with Spiced Chicken

After googling so many dirty rice recipes, I got fed up and decided to just go forth and dirty my rice in my own way, based on some of the recipes I have seen.

My So So One Pot Spiced Chicken and Dirty Rice

What's Dirty Rice? Why is the rice dirty? Before I get into all that dirty business, let me tell you why I cooked dirty rice.

Lap Cheong Fried Rice

I can't say that I am a fan of lap cheong (Chinese sausages) though I do not mind if they are present in any dish. As far as I remember, my late grandma loved lap cheong (which we call eng chiang) and if I am not wrong, my mum is a fan too.

Who Likes Sardines?

OK, confession time. When I was growing up, there was one thing that I disliked. It was canned sardines. Bleagh!! 

Pumpkin Rice

I remember cooking this one pot savory rice way back in 2014 after I was discharged from the hospital. It's one of my favorite dishes as it is not only easy to cook but really so delicious it makes for a very satisfying meal.

Nasi Ulam (Aromatic Rice Salad)

This rice salad is something that I wanted to make for a very, very long time. I never got round to it because as with nonya dishes, there is always a long tedious process with the assembling of many components.

Nasi Goreng Kerabu (Kerabu Fried Rice)

Last weekend I had no idea what to cook. Then while catching up with my blog hopping, I stopped by Kak Azie's blog and I was very tempted when I saw her Nasi Goreng Kerabu. 

Chimichurri Chicken Rice

Tired of the usual nasi ayam (chicken rice)? Well, to try this Chimichurri Chicken Rice, you need to like/love chimichurri.

Luncheon Meat Fried Rice

When I posted Fried Rice with Long Beans some of you commented that you use French beans and lap cheong (Chinese sausage).

Fried Rice with Long Beans

I was craving for some fried rice so I bought a packet of long beans because I love fried rice with long beans. Nope, no cauliflower was harmed in the making of this fried rice. Once in a while I want a full blown fried rice.

Cauliflower Nasi Goreng Kampung

Not even Nasi Goreng Kampung is spared the cauliflower treatment, eh? heh..heh..heh... Why not, right? It so happened that I spied some fresh cauliflower at Jaya Grocer and an idea entered my mind. Nasi goreng!
