Chicken Biryani
I am in a place where biryani is everywhere. I’ve been here for years, but I never finished a whole serving of biryani. For me, the smell of the cinnamon (or star anise??) is very strong that it prevents me…
Tuna and Chickpeas Salad
I am not a salad person. If I eat salad, it will always be drowning with dressing. And when I say dressing, it is not homemade and not even the healthiest ones. I rarely eat salad. Sometimes, not even once in…
Chocolate Crinkles
Chocolate Crinkles is one of the treats I only discovered when I was in college. I mean – how come I didn’t know about their existence when I was in grade school? You know, when it is okay to beg…

Red Iced Tea with Homemade Strawberry Syrup
I’ve been a fan of iced tea since the time I knew what iced tea was. I could finish a liter of iced tea in seconds and I am not even kidding! When dining out, I can’t be seduced by…
Homemade Strawberry Syrup
I’ve never been a HUGE fan of strawberry syrup. I always find it too sweet, full of unnatural flavoring and of course, preservatives. Well, it’s not that I don’t eat or drink anything with preservatives AT ALL. Hmm, maybe I…
