The wonders of Nyonya Peranakan cooking have always intrigued me. The Baba Nyonya or Peranakan people are descendants of Chinese immigrants who came to Malaya and adopted the Nusantara customs. I had made a post about another type of Curry that I like – the Kapitan Curry, and this is another, but with no coconut…

Tsipoura: Grilled
This past weekend was an extremely hot weekend, with temperatures reaching to the mid-40’s (Celcius!). Husband bought us some fish, and as part of an East meets West table fare, I have decided to make an Asian recipe, and grill it the Greek way. Read about it here. Tsipoura is a Mediterranean fish, and its…

George’s Gavros Marinatos
To continue with the salt theme (I just posted my trip to a salt mine in Bex, Switzerland), this a featured recipe from my husband, George. He made this wonderful salted fish for us to store in the fridge and to have it as a side dish that goes really well with soups like bean…

Cucur Ikan Bilis (Fishy Fritters)
Cucur, which means fritters in Malay, is one of those ‘easy to make with essential store cupboard staples’ snacks that I always make, with variations. Add small prawns to the basic batter and it becomes cucur udang, add ikan bilis and it becomes cucur ikan bilis, or with extra onions/shallots and spring onions (vegetarian option!)…
Lemon Kolios (Atlantic Chub Mackerel)
‘Tis the season for Kolios, sha la la la la la la la. The months of July and August will yield the best catch of this fish, known as the Atlantic Chub Mackerel. It is a rather meaty fish, as all mackerels are, and its healthy too – an oily fish, it is a rich…
Miso-Glazed Grilled Kolios (Atlantic Chub Mackerel)
I love Miso. It adds a different sort of taste to the dish, from what I can understand is this ‘5th taste’ called umami. What is Miso, and what is umami? Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning that is made of fermented soybeans. In comes in a paste form, and you can buy them from…
