Lumpia Basah ( Indonesian Spring Rolls )
Lumpia basah is one of indonesian snack . It’s yummy and light enough , i remember when i was small , on our way home from church every sunday , me and my mom always stopped by this shop , they sold snacks , one of our favourite was lumpia basah . How do i explain lumpia basah for westerners ? I guess it is almost like spring rolls , except , it’s healthier since it’s not deep fried . The wrapper, isn’t the same with spring rolls , where you have to deep fry to let it all cooked . It is similar to crepe . Only needed to…

Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya
Jambalaya is a one pot dish , don’t have to worry about the side dish .. about the vegetables , about the meat … all together , in 1 pot !! I love it .. it’s easy , yummy and quick . I have to say although you have to cook the rice ( not the instant one ) in the pot , it didn’t take long for me , probably about good 20 minutes . It could have been spicier , next time , i have to throw in more cayenne pepper , i didn’t have them on hand , but i replaced them with serrano peppers , but…

Flan
So , this is not my first time to try to make flan . Few days ago i tried making flan , of course had to make the caramel sauce , when i made them , i added little water , that was a wet method that i used . For some reason after few minutes boiling , it started to crystallize . I didn’t even stir it .. i started stirring it with metal spoon when i saw them started to crystallize , well that made it worse . They all went to the garbage .. LOL .. view full post »

Baked Eggs in Ramekins
This morning i decided to do something different with eggs . My family eat eggs every morning , i think it’s healthy to start the day with eggs . Whole lot better than having pancake or waffle or even cold cereal . Eggs are healthy !!I usually just do scramble eggs , sunny side up , or hard boiled or half boiled eggs for breakfast . This time , i made them in ramekins , i did this before , and i called it green eggs and ham , because i had spinach and ham on ham at the time , but not this morning . So i just did…

Cabbage Kimchi ( Yangbaechu Kimchi )
This is the kimchi i made from Maangchi website . She called it emergency kimchi , just in case your local grocer doesn’t carry napa cabbage , in my case , the korean market is not that close , well about 40 minutes . Driving in the weekend is okay , but during weekdays , i have other things to do than making a trip to korean market . Local grocer is only 5 minutes away , the only problem , they usually either don’t carry napa cabbage , or napa cabbage could cost 3 times or 4 times as much as when you get it from korean market .…

Lobster is really yummy , there is basically not much you need to do with it . I just cleaned it and prepared it , and then rubbed olive oil all over the lobster meat on top of the shell , and then sprinkle with Garlic powder , onion powder and paprika .

The picture below here is lobster tails with aglio et olio ( one of my favourite pasta dish .. simple and delicious !! ) with…
