for food enthusiasts...

hihi, hope you'll enjoy this blog. it's abt food, and drinks, and everything in between.

i have an abundance of recipe books at home, but i tend not to follow recipes because it's usually very hard to find the ingredients i want and need (the books are there just for reference sake, and as a good source of inspiration). also, i'm an impulsive chef, so i usually just raid my fridge and cupboards to see what i can find and make something out of it. in time, this became a hobby of experimental cooking, and so far, 99% of the stuff i've tried turned out great. but since most of the stuff i cook is impromptu, the recipes ended up being a one time thing only.

after getting very happy on margaritas a few hours ago, i decided to finally record down some of the recent successful recipes i've tried, starting with a new cocktail drink i just made. coming right up. but, back to the topic...

another reason why i decided to start this blog is for my guy friends who have to suddenly acquire culinary skills to impress their new love interest, and most recently, their mommy dearest... awww... so sweet, how could i refuse? then again, there are those (you know who you are, dont act all innocent) who would prefer to con their way through ala mastercard-ad style, by getting gourmet takeaways... not that i support it but here's somewhere to start looking: (for malaysians) http://www.dinemalaysia.com/guide_catererslisting.php dont say i didnt help...

the recipes i'll be posting will vary in difficulty. so if there's a recipe you'd like to try but seriously couldnt get past words like mince, finely chop, boil, simmer or differentiate between pan-fried, stir-fried and deep-fried, just ask. i'll try my best to guide you through the treacherous world of cuisine as i know it. but, most of it should be pretty simple...

let's get started!
