Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
Who doesn’t like French toast? It’s like dessert for breakfast! Who doesn’t like finger food? So, there’s really no reason to not like this one. Moreover, it’s so quick to put together. Perfect for a Sunday breakfast (or maybe snack?) Anyway, there’s really not much to say about these sticks. So, I guess it’ll be a really short post. Except maybe that I do recommend using stale brioche bread. In my opinion brioche is the perfect kind of bread for French toast, because it’s so rich and buttery and when dipped in the egg mixture, it’s just like pudding. Why stale? Because stale bread is usually dry and dry bread…

Milk Tea Grass Jelly
I’m gonna level with you, I’m an Asian, which means boba ice is always welcome in my tummy. However, sometimes those tapioca pearls sit too heavy afterwards and I feel like I can’t eat/drink anything else. Enter grass jelly. Grass jelly is very common in Asia. You can find it in many desserts. It’s essentially what it is, jelly. It’s made by boiling the stalks of Chinese mensoa with a some starch for very long hours and when left to cool, it’ll harden into jelly. It has a mild and herb-y taste and is very refreshing, especially in summer. Nowadays, you can buy the grass jelly powder mixture and make…

Corn Fritters (Perkedel Jagung)
Another really easy recipe coming at ya! 😉 This was actually one of my favorite things to snack on when I was little. It’s good to eat as it is, but goes surprisingly well as a side dish with steamed rice as well. Also, it’s a crowd pleaser. Bring a platter of these to a potluck, and they’ll be a hit every single time. Two important things to mention here: first, the two kinds of flour. You can absolutely omit the rice flour (and if you do, add the amount of the all purpose flour). However, without the rice flour, your fritters will not be crispy at all. If you…

Pork Belly with Kecap Manis Sauce (Babi Kecap)
Can we all just agree that pork belly is underrated? It’s actually quite economical, at least where I live and it’s packed with flavor. When I was a little girl living in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population on Earth, you don’t find pork readily available, so I truly didn’t know what I was missing. Enter, my years in Singapore and Vienna and my tastebuds sang! Anyway, I like this recipe a lot because of its flavors, moreover it comes together so quickly. My kind of recipe! 😉 Like a lot of recipes out there, there are a lot of versions to this one, every household will have…

Ultra-Quick Pasta Lunch
Mommies, I don’t know about you, but I have two semi-picky eaters at home. Why do I say semi-picky? Because on some days, they’ll eat anything I put on the plates for them, and on some other days, anything I cook is either poisonous or, to put it in their words, “I don’t like it!”. However, they somehow never say no to pasta. They are cray about it. If they had it their way, we will definitely be having pasta for breakfast, lunch, dinner, 24/7, 365 days a year. Thankfully, my husband and I do get the occasional privilege to choose what the family eats. So, phew! But coming back…
