Mystery Freezer / Pantry Challenge

Kimberly Peterson

Here’s a mouthful: Warm Salt and Pepper Prawn Salad with Tuna, Pasta, Egg and Sweet Corn Mayonnaise topped with Crushed Peanuts Monday nights. You know how it is to come home after a long day at work, and you are most likely still recovering from your “Monday Blues”? Cooking is probably the last thing most of us would want to do. I felt the same way. Came home, and sat on the couch for a good 10 minutes before deciding to get up and make something for dinner. I didn’t plan to cook anything – so I was faced with … Continue reading Mystery Freezer / Pantry Challenge

Slow Cooked Roast Pork Loin Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Aah, another beautiful Sunday roast dinner. Sundays are my favorite “cooking day” simply because we are often at home on Sunday night to actually have dinner at home, and I also mostly have the whole afternoon to cook if I needed that time. That’s why a good, slow cooked roast is often on the menu. I already have two recipes I consider as my Sunday Roast favorites: Garlic and Rosemary Slow Cooked Roast Lamb Roasted Chicken Legs with Herb and Breadcrumb Stuffing So I already have lamb and chicken, let’s add some PORK to my collection! I call this a … Continue reading Slow Cooked Roast Pork Loin Recipe

As a continuation from Wedding at Montsalvat – Part 1 on my Photography Blog which featured the beautiful buildings and surroundings of Montsalvat, I thought I’d share Part 2 here on my Food Blog with photos that are more food related. The wedding was indeed a beautiful wedding surrounded by gorgeous buildings and you know what, people have always said that “buffet styled wedding dinners” always fall short… but I am here to prove everyone wrong! Yes, the wedding reception was a buffet.. but it was an AMAZING buffet.. and you will soon see why. We had a wonderful feast … Continue reading Wedding at Montsalvat – Part 2

"Apam Balik" / Malaysian Peanut Pancake Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Also known as “Apom Balek”, “Ban Chang Kuih”, “Bang Chang Kueh”, Fluffy Pancakes with Roasted Peanuts and Sesame Seeds… this dish has so many inconsistent naming conventions that I had a tough time deciding the best name to call it for my Blog Title so people would search for it and find it. Just like the “Pisang Goreng”.. this dish holds a lot of childhood memories for me. Where I grew up in a small capital city in Borneo (Kuching), whenever I’m out shopping with my parents – I would every once in a while convince my parents to buy … Continue reading "Apam Balik" / Malaysian Peanut Pancake Recipe

Egg, Bacon & Onion Quiche Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

Call it Egg and Bacon Quiche, or Quiche Lorraine, or just a quiche… I have never made quiches before, so I thought it would be a nice change to have something different. In most Aussie households, the quiche is a very common dish. Some people can make quiches with their eyes closed!! But you know what I don’t like about traditional quiches? There’s always barely enough of that soft, eggy filling to keep me happy! So tonight I got a little bit generous and made a “tall” quiche so I will have an abundance of filling. The downside to that, … Continue reading Egg, Bacon & Onion Quiche Recipe

I’ve just had probably one of my busiest weekends filled with social gatherings and lunches and dinners… in fact, it’s been busy all WEEK not just the weekend, and not quite over yet (it’s Sunday night and people are coming over in the next 10 minutes).

Whole Suckling Pig @ The Provincial

Kimberly Peterson

On Friday night, to celebrate hubby’s birthday as well as to get together with family and friends (and celebrate a few other birthdays) I’ve organised a night out in the city – just the usual dinner, movie and perhaps some poker afterwards. Originally, the plan was to just have dinner at one of the restaurants at Crown which was our central place to meet up. However, thanks to the powerful word of mouth aka Twitter – I’ve managed to change the plans just slightly and booked a table for 9 at The Provincial Hotel, Fitzroy. Let me introduce you to … Continue reading Whole Suckling Pig @ The Provincial
