Kek Kukus (Singaporean and Malaysian Steamed Fruit Cake)

Published 15/12/2020, updated 16/12/2020 4 Comments

kek kukus, steamed fruit cake

It’s in the Malay language, so a little Malay Language lesson, methinks? Kek = cake (duh), pronounced the same way Kukus = steamed, to steam, pronounced coo-cose (s sound, not z) Kek kukus = Steamed cake Dried fruit (raisins, sultanas, etc) are thirsty little things. So if you haven’t quenched that thirst, they are going […]

Tandoori Turkey Recipe and Video (Smoked in your Regular Home Oven)

Published 25/11/2020, updated 25/11/2020 6 Comments

Tandoori turkey made in home oven

Tandoori turkey for Christmas, anyone? I don’t know about you, but I find turkey a rather bland bird, no matter how much brining it’s had. And so, here we are, the first of two alternatively flavoured Turkeys for Christmas (and Thanksgiving?). As requested by so many of my readers, students and customers over the years. […]

Three-Fish Roast (a Pescatarian Recipe for Christmas)

Published 17/11/2020, updated 30/11/2020 11 Comments

Three-fish roast recipe

The result is a richly flavoured fish roast that is full of contrasting flavours and textures. Meaty, smoky, creamy, tart and herby, and so deliciously fishy, of course! Good fishy! Before my kids went vegetarian, they loved salmon. But because my girls are allergic to eggs, I’ve made this three-fish roast often without eggs too. […]

Malay Language Lesson, as usual 🙂 Sayur = VegetablesLemak = Cream (here, it refers to the the coconut milk) The traditional Sayur lemak can be found in […]

Ayam Assam Serani (Sour Eurasian Chicken Curry)

Published 26/01/2018, updated 23/12/2019 12 Comments

Ayam Assam Serani (Eurasian Chicken Curry)

Ayam Assam Serani, my mum’s version of the tangy and sour Eurasian and Nyonya dish, Babi Assam, from Singapore and Malaysia. Super easy to cook, and bursting with flavours. Let’s take a look at the name Ayam = Chicken Assam = Sour, also refers to Tamarind Serani = Eurasian Babi = Pig (Pork) Ayam Assam Serani […]

Corned Beef Stew | A Eurasian Recipe from Singapore and Malaysia

Published 17/10/2017, updated 27/03/2020 15 Comments

Eurasian Corned Beef Stew

This Eurasian Corned Beef Stew is a favourite childhood recipe from the Portuguese Eurasian community in Singapore and Malaysia. It can be a bit of a strange one for some people, given that corned beef isn’t usually eaten “wet”. This was one of my mum’s lazy recipes; she was a nurse and was always working different shifts, […]
