0 Chocolate Mousse

Craving for a not so sweet dessert. In the end, the rack of dark chocolate at the supermarket practically lured me into making this for my family. It actually goes perfectly well with the morning cappuccino ^^.

You can see the recipe here.

Enjoy the chocolaty flavour everyone ^^

0 My Lunch: Cheese Omelette on Toast

Well, actually I wanted to make it into an actual omelette but during the process I changed my mind so hey, why not scramble it a bit :). 

Anyhow, I was inspired by my sister when she told me she made omelette with cheese. Here, I decided to try it myself. Nothing hard here. Firstly, you heat the butter and cheese in a non-stick pan and after it melts you put in the eggs, sliced tomatoes, red and green paprika, a clove of minced garlic, with salt and pepper to taste. A word of caution, use less salt because the butter and cheddar cheese is already salty and stir it up real quick in the pan (if you want to scramble it). After you get the creamy texture, it's ready to be served. To top it off, another tip from my sister, sprinkle a generous amount of oregano.

This makes a warm and fresh dish ^^

Hope you enjoyed this port ^^

1 Tomatoes: Fresh Way To Start Your Morning

Looks fresh right? ;)

Tomatoes are in season. Not only that, they're cheaper too. A kilogram of tomatoes currently only costs IDR Rp 4,000.- now. Fresh, cheap and very healthy. I mean, can anything top that people? ;)

So this is what I've been doing in the mornings. Right after you wake up, you know how there's that uncomfortable feeling in your mouth and your dying for something fresh? Well, I finally found a way to get some awesome freshness. How? Tomatoes! Especially when they're put in the fridge. Nothing beats the cold and flesh flavour. 

Basically, all I did was chop the tomatoes up into small pieces, sprinkle a bit of sugar (optional) and voila you have one fresh and tasty snack. If you put in too many tomatoes and you can't finish your dish, you can use the slices of tomatoes as a facial mask where you simply rub the slices on your face, let it dry and afterwards rinse with water.

See how multi-functional tomatoes are? hehe.

Hope you enjoyed this one, try it out ^^

Cheers ^^

0 Noodle Omelette

Dinner time ^^

The whole noodle omelette :)

Hungry and need something instant but with lots of vegetables. Aha! Noodle omelette! (I know, omelette again hehe).


How to make this? It's pretty much the same as the fusilli omelette recipe but instead you use noodles and more spices like chilli and shallot. You can also add a little bit of oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce for that extra flavour.


Hope you enjoy this one food lovers ^^

0 Fusilli Omelette

Spice this omelettle well and you have a whole meal :)

First of all, I am an egg lover and the omelette's been one of my favourite meals of all time. It's actually my favourite breakfast since I was a child. The smell of the cooked eggs and fresh vegetables will always be fresh in my memory. There I go again exaggerating food hehe.

One night, for dinner, I wanted to cook up something quick and easy. I wasn't looking for something heavy either so I decided to go down the path of the omelette, but with a slight twist. How? By adding fusilli :)

In the end, it turned out great and more than I expected. Not only that it tasted really delicious but also looked pretty because of the twirling fusilli and the colourful vegetables. I guess cuisine is also a work of art. With food, you paint your meal with the colour of your ingredients.

So, my fellow food lovers, try this one out and enjoy your meal ^^

Ingredients:

0 Healthy Bruschetta

Fresh meal for any time of the day :)

Up close and personal :)

First of all, I am not a nutritionist or a dietitian so I don't know how healthy this recipe actually is. Nonetheless, this is one of the freshest dishes ever. No cooking involved, just chopping, slicing and mixing. I've always had a thing for bread and vegetables and after browsing for bruschetta recipes, this is what I came up with. 

Hope you enjoy this one, try out the freshness people ^^

Ingredients:

0 Fulfilling Salad

One whole meal salad :)

Salads are one of the easiest dishes to make. All you have to do is cut, slice, maybe boil or steam a bit here and there and voila you have something to eat. It doesn't require chef talent, just chopping skills and basic logic. Not only that, your body needs veggies so it's pretty much healthy for you.


At most times, salads are normally considered as a light snack or appetizer. Here, a thought came into my mind, "hey, why not make the salad into a whole one stop meal?" It could work I suppose. Kids might like this since most of them are on anti-veggie side.


So, one morning I gave it a go. I only used extra virgin oil and garlic for the main dressing and it was delicious and fulfilling. Fulfilling as in by the end of the meal, my stomach was full but not stuffed. Simply just right.


Here's my recipe and what I did, hope you enjoy this one ^^


Ingredients:

0 Fettucinne Alfredo

Chicken Spaghetti Alfredo for the whole family :)

I think most of the people on this planet has or at least at one time had had a craving for Italian food. With the Pizza Hut franchise going worldwide, nearly everyone in this world has tasted Italian cuisine. Whether it's the genuine recipe or not, the tomato paste, cooked beef or chicken, and melting mozzarella cheese certainly has done things to you. On the whole, Italian cuisine makes you crave for more. 

Rather going to Pizza Hut or Izzi Pizza or even Italy ;D, I went on Youtube on a journey to find Italian recipes so that I can make them myself. Please note that living in a tropical country makes it a bit tricky to actually get the right ingredients. But nonetheless, with extra food obsessed spirit, use of local and imported ingredients  and smart budgeting, the success in the end of being able to make the recipes is one worthwhile experience.

Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my favourite Italian dishes. I just love how the cream and the garlic flavours melt into your mouth. On a cold rainy day, fettuccine alfredo certainly soothes you inside out.

So ladies and gentlemen, this is my journey with fettuccine alfredo :D
