I planned to use digestive biscuits for this, but the minimart nearby didn�t have it. So, I changed plans to use Oreo...

Eggplant with Fragrant Topping ????

Eggplant or brinjal is one vegetable that many people either love it or hate it, it's the extreme of either ends.

But it's a bit too oily, cos, eggplants are good oil 'suckers' !!!I have a few creations that doesn't require the eggplant to be...

Assam Prawns ???

This is another family favourite from Grandaunty.When grandaunty made this dish last time, she�ll divide the prawns equally among family members.

This is a backpost, way back to Chinese New Year 2008.I had open house for my friends, and I made lasagne for them, they are fans of cheese and all things close to the cow.Did some research and I find that the cheeses that they use is kind of rare in Malaysia, and the most important is they are darn pricey here.I saw on pioneerwomancooks the way she does hers was easy, but finding hot sausages is rather difficult here. She uses cottage cheese, mozarella...

Cha Siew Pau, Cha Shao Bao, or Char Siu Bao... whatever romanization it is still the same old bbq pork steamed buns.There�s this Cha Siew Bao in Tanjung Tualang, which the pau skin is the traditional type, yeast raised, and it is called Hainan Pau.I prefer this type of pau skin to the Dimsum shop types, which are raised by double action baking powder.My all time favourite cha siew pao is from Kam Ling Restaurant in Kampar.

Maybe you'll like it too...Please don't substitute this with margarine or "Buttercup" or "Farm Cows".. It will not taste the same,...
