Khow Suey

Chicken all ready to get poached/boiled with celery, onions, carrots and peppercorns

All cooked and ready

After the garnishings - Fried garlic, fried onions, Corriander leaves

It started off as Khow Suey, the burmese dish,infact it was so right till the end, except when it was time to serve, a certain someone decided she'd enjoy it more with rice rather than noodles hmphh either ways it was yummyyyy and my first attempt was a total success :D so I'm happy =]
Btw after the chicken was boiled, the pics are missing cause I didn't get a chance to take any, however, I shredded the chicken, cooked up the masala and etc :P

Enjoy :) I did!

Thai Inspired Roasted Chicken Legs

So yesterday morning IQ was looking through some magazine and apparently saw this recipe for thai chicken. Later on in the evening I was thinking of finding a new but simple recipe to make some grilled chicken legs and asked her. So you can see how this is what happened... thai chicken legs.


It came out super spicy and was a hit ... I know it looks like my previous chicken but the flavours are totally different.

The Marinade :  chilli sauce, lime juice brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, coriander, sriracha and pepper.

And the chicken marinates...and marinates....and....

Chicken Chucked in Oven and.......

Spicy, succulent and scrumptious :D

Enjoy, everyone :)

Conchiglie Piccante

I'd been craving pasta for a while now and earlier Angel and Mr. Smoke made my stomach literally growl while discussing preparing certain dishes..so I soon after went into the kitchen and made some pasta quickly.

The conchiglie is the shell like pasta - which did the regular boiling al dente and then tossed with olive oil butter, parsley, oregano and chilli flakes.

I had some eggplant remaining in my fridge so I sliced it up and seasoned with chilli, garlic and lots of black pepper (I often add lots of black pepper over adding salt, usually you can't really tell that salt has been omitted). I tossed with some corn flour and then sauteed on the stove in olive oil till reaching a golden roasted colour.

Same seasoning with the mushrooms, more on the garlic and sauteed and then tossed in the bowl with chopped onions and green pepper which were uncooked so as to retain their fresh and crunchy texture in contrast to the juicy flavourful mushrooms.

 Of course the tomato sauce is all full of garlic, chilli flakes, oregani, and parmesan, with some mozzarella grated in for an overall very cheesy and thick and spicy sauce.

I have a garden salad yet to make with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and avocado but I did a quick plating for the sake of posting.

Bon Appetit! :)
