This might take a little time to make , but really it’s not bad at all , consider it a good workout for your hand if you don’t use the mixer . You can always…

The meatballs were a breeze to put together , they’re easy and since they’re humongous , they didn’t take much time to make at all . Unlike swedish meatballs , they’re tiny and…

Lemper Ayam
Sticky Rice with chicken filling , called as Lemper Ayam is a traditional snack in Indonesia . I remember me and my mom walked to the market and stopped by after grocery shopping to buy this snack . This was her favorite , wasn’t so much for me . She really liked this , it was all wrapped up in green banana leaves . I never wondered how they made this .. i never thought i would have to try to make it myself . But living oversea pushed you to do things that you never thought you’d do . Even my mom never made lemper ayam herself , she…

Banana Bread
I made banana bread yesterday , it’s been a long time and i happened to have overripe bananas laying around on the counter . The problem with banana bread is , there are tons of recipes out there , throughout the years i’ve tried plenty recipes , sometimes i forget which one that tasted the best , and which one is the okay so so version . So going through my recipe box was tricky , i had to try to remember which one was this . But the one that i picked yesterday was the one without butter , so i considered it a little healthier version .. 😀…

Southern Fried Chicken
I don’t know why but during the end of the sermon this morning at church , just about a minute before the pastor let us all go home , suddenly i thought about fried chicken . No , not thinking about buying fried chicken , because that’s what we usually do , i don’t cook fried chicken , i know they’re easy but i don’t , just because to me it seems pointless spending about a gallon of oil just to fry chicken , not to mention , it is unhealthy . We usually settled with oven baked fried chicken , similar but not quite the same original fried chicken…

Sweet Red Bean Paste
When you go asian bakery , chances are you will find items with sweet red beans fillings . Growing up in southeast asia , i found one dessert with beans , but not red beans , so this is all new to me also . I thought red beans are only for main dish , who would have thought it’s also for dessert , esp. it’s very famous in asian bakery . I decided to put my red azuki beans to a good use over the weekend , i thought it’s not going to be hard to make . I soaked the beans overnight . I tried cooking it without…
