Roasted Garlic and Onion Jam

This jam pairs perfectly with a chunk of brie and homemade ciabatta! A couple of weekends ago mum and I ventured out to the latest designer-like grocery outlet that has been the talk of the town of late. Granted everything in store looked amazing with so many interesting items from all over the world but the prices were more than shocking. The Stonewall Kitchen’s Roasted Garlic and Onion Jam caught my eye and although I was very tempted to purchase it on the spot I decided to be prudent and figured that I could probably replicate this jam at home for a fraction of the price. And I did! To be honest it wasn't so much the Onion Jam that caught my attention rather it was the promise of a jar full of roasted garlic goodness! I love garlic so much that I could probably have roasted/steamed/pickled garlic at any time of the day. Gross, I know. Roasting garlic is so easy and satisfying! Anyway that aside, this jam/chutney/spread – whatever you want to call ...

Mint and Lemon Slice Ice Cubes

Mint and Lemon Slice Ice Cubes What a rubbish week this has been! The deadline for my first big work project was due in this week which resulted in late nights or very early mornings. So naturally come Thursday afternoon when the final edits were sent to off to the printers I was doing jumps of joy internally and already planning my weekend in detail. I get home at a decent hour and decide I should go for a run shoes as I am training for my first 10k run in about 4 weeks. 2k in and I manage to fall spectacularly, twisting my ankle badly in the process, and almost rolled into a drain! A trip to the hospital later confirmed that I’ve badly sprained the ankle and require lots of rest which is really frustrating. Then on Saturday morning, the ‘home’ button on my iPhone stops working! Anyway here we are on a Sunday night, my ankle isn’t as swollen, my phone has been fixed and I have had a lot of sleep for the last couple of days thanks to the awesome meds ...

Chilli and Lime Scallops Spaghetti

Having recently acquired a taste for scallops, it is only natural and partly the duty of a food blogger to try to add scallops to my cooking repertoire. Fresh scallops are quite the rarity in Kuala Lumpur, unless of course I’ve been looking for them in the wrong places, like many other things, which is a flaw I’ve become accustomed to. A couple of months ago, I rang my mother in excitement having apparently discovered a supermarket which sold fresh scallops, only to realise later on that they were actually fishballs. How does one confuse fishballs for scallops? Seriously, even I can’t answer that question. Anyway, I soon realised that I would have to make do with frozen scallops if I was ever going to get around to cooking some. Having never cooked them before, I was naturally quite wary as it’s quite a finicky ingredient to play around with. The last thing I want to do is to undercook seafood but at the same time overcooked scallops are disgustingly rubb...
