Linguini

I always like simple stir fry pasta, or they called it alio olio. Made myself a garlic and mushroom linguine with parsley & chill flakes.. yummy, simple & fast..

Chickpea & lentil soup

I was not feeling well the past 2 days and don't have appetite for food. My sister bought a packet of lentils for me during my Doha trip. Quite satisfied with the soup although the original recipe do not have cayenne pepper & cumin which I love them in my soup.

A pleasant surprise

This one really caught me... i was teaching the boys their homework when an uncle in his 50s stopped his car outside my house this afternoon. Was wondering what he wants with a piece of paper in his hand. I was not with my best facial appearance when i approached him and with a stern voice i asked what was his business. When he told me he was delivering flowers, my facial expression changed as fast as lightning.. to a smiling one...he must be wondering what a fierce woman i am.. hehehe...

Next surprise is that the basket of flowers is from my old boss & family, it has been 2 years & a month since i left my working life / the last boss that i worked with, but most of the working experiences were still fresh in my memories. Throughout my whole working life, i can say i am quite lucky to have met very nice bosses, but the last one was the best cos i worked for him the longest.

Just wana say thank you very much Dagfinn & Theng you are indeed a great boss!

Biryani rice with Tomato curry chicken

I promised the boys to cook their "Doha rice" which is the biryani rice today. I followed Chef Wan's recipe for the rice, the results was very aromatic, as i put in all the ingredients needed accordingly. Only substituted the cashew nuts with pine nuts. As for the curry chicken, I opted for a non-coconut milk based gravy. Found this recipe by Wendy in KK..Love it!... Jen maybe u can try this curry chicken for your 100 chicken recipe quest...
