Kitchen, it's currently my favourite playground too.
Airplane meal prepared by yours truly. How I miss flying so much?
It's funny before the pandemic time, I don't really into cooking and the number of times I entered the kitchen, can be calculated using all my fingers. My dad used to ask me to go and learn from my mom in the kitchen but I refused to do so. So I guess, this pandemic has completely turned me to become a homecook which I have never expected to be.
Most of the recipes I searched and learned, either from Google, Youtube, Facebook and even Instagram too. There are few I tried to figure it out on my own. Throughout the pandemic, I experimented all kind of different food, such as our local cuisines like nasi lemak, curry chicken, chicken rice and even other nation cuisines like Thai, Korean and Japanese cuisines. I even tried to bake cake and made desserts for the first time in my life.
So, now let me show you my homecooked dishes:
Local Cuisines
Nasi Kuning and Ayam Masak Merah
Nasi Lemak and Ayam Masak Merah
Chicken Rice using my mom's recipe
Claypot Chicken Rice but using rice cooker - Recipe by Rose from
Rose's World
First time cooked curry chicken from scratch, not using instant curry paste and my dad said it's so good
Kolo Mee and Wonton Soup
The noodle bought from market and I mixed all the sauces myself and as for the wonton, I made the filling and wrapped myself.
Meehum Siam and Ayam Goreng Berempah
Creamy Butter Prawn and Chicken
It's my husband's favourite
This is my signature dish - spring roll with curry potatoes as filling
Japanese Cuisines
This is my most favourite cuisine to cook with and I will cook like almost every week. Some are pretty simple like Katsu Curry and Oyakadon but there are some required lots of efforts to cook with. Majority of the ingredients I got them from Daiso and for some from
Don Don Donki (Shopee).
Katsu Curry (Japanese Curry with Chicken Cutlet) and Tamagoyaki
Cooked for my family and my brothers love it
Teriyaki Chicken Don - using homemade teriyaki sauce
Curry Udon
Oyakadon (Chicken and Egg Bowl)
Tamagoyaki - this need to practice more
Japanese Night with Gyoza and Edamame
Ebi Furai (Panko Shrimp)
Besides Japanese food, I do love Thai food too. Hence, I tried to cook few of Thai cuisines such as Pandan Chicken, Tom Yam Gung and Pineapple Rice. Thai cuisines are indeed required lots of ingredients.
Korean Cuisines
Dakgangjeong (Sweet Crispy Korean Fried Chicken)
Prefer to use boneless chicken
Budae Jjigae
Korean Army Stew with instant ramen noodle, kimchi, sliced sausages, canned ham, soft beancurd, chicken, cheese and Korean red chilli paste.
Others
Cheese Baked Chicken Rice
Orange Chicken
Inspired from Panda Express, an American fast food restaurant chain
Hawaii Garlic Shrimp
Inspired from our trip to Hawaii last year
Chicken Chop Mushroom Sauce with Homemade Potato Wedges
Breakfast
The only time I able to prepare and cook breakfast is on weekend and public holiday, cause that's the time where I don't have to go to work.
Hearty breakfast for just the two of us. Bread, egg and baked beans are must.
Bread Omelette - Stumbled upon this from Facebook
Burrito with Mission Wraps I came across these mission wraps last year MCO 1.0 and since ever then, I restock like almost every week. I even introduced to my mom and my brothers and they started to love it and we will have burritos for breakfast like once a week.
Quesadilla Another dish using Mission wraps where I filled with cooked minced meat and cheese
Desserts
Because I don't have an oven at my own place, therefore I hardly bake any cakes or bread. I tried to make simple desserts such as jelly, creamy mango pomelo desserts as the following:
All about mangoes
Mango Coconut Jelly Cube
Creamy mango, pomelo and dragonfruit dessert (left)Creamy avocado dessert (right)
Creamy dragonfruit mixed with nuts and pomelo
Banana cake - I baked this twice but I still not satisfied with it. Baked at my parent's place
Please forgive me for the lengthy post with overloaded photos. Actually I have more to share with you all but I think that should be sufficient now. Of course I don't cook like every single day - it's pretty exhausted you know, from preparing to cooking and even cleaning all the dishes. Sometimes I do take a break by ordering takeaway food.
So anyone of you here enjoy cooking at home like I do? Do you have any homecook recipes to share with me? I really love to learn more of new recipes.
