My Awesome Dhall Curry

Blowing my own trumpet again, eh? heh..heh....I finally cooked a nice dhall curry that I could share on this blog. In fact, this dhall curry was cooked half way the week before and completed last weekend. Why on earth did it take two days?

Soups Up!

Sometimes when I buy vegetables to cook a dish, I end up with leftovers. I had leeks leftover from my partner's food prep, sweet potatoes from cooking dad's porridge, potatoes from a yet-to-be-baked Shepard's pie (hah!), pumpkin from cooking pumpkin rice and kale/cauliflower/chickpeas from a recent salad.

Macaroni Meat Drop Soup

I can't call this "meatball soup" because I did not form the minced meat into balls, but rather I dropped them into the boiling broth in odd shapes (just like how they do in pork noodle soup).

Grandma's Macaroni Soup

When I was a little girl, my grandparents loved to cook macaroni soup with chicken and vegetables. Grandma called it "maconi" instead of macaroni. 

Beefy Vegetable Soup

This beef soup was unplanned and came about because I forgot to pick up some chicken. And I forgot about the chicken because I was distracted by the beef. I should have referred to my shopping list. Drat!

Pork Ribs Soup

I have to admit that sometimes I wished I didn't have to cook on Saturday evenings. Lazy bum! I do miss those carefree days when I could park myself on the sofa at 5:30pm and enjoy my TV shows with no interruptions. Lazy bum!

Chef Wan's Oxtail Soup

I have been eyeing this recipe for a long time because the picture in the cookbook and the ingredients tell me that this is a rather exotic oxtail soup.

Sop Buntut (Indonesian Oxtail Soup)

Sop Buntut. Buntut????

Roasted Pork and Preserved Mustard Green Soup

I am actually a little bit embarrassed about this soup because it came about due to me misunderstanding a recipe.
