Kecap Manis Satay
Super kids friendly, non-spicy, easy satay recipes to make! Kecap Manis, an Indonesian word is literally translated to "Sweet Soy Sauce".
Kecap manis (pronounced KEH-chup MAH-nees) is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce with a molasses consistency and a dark brown color. Flavored with garlic, star anise, soybeans, and palm sugar, the sauce is more syrupy and complex than commonplace soy sauce.
Typically sold in Asian markets, kecap manis can be used as a condiment or marinade for satays ...
Easy Flatbreads
This recipe is so easy to whip up, really there's no excuse not to make fresh breads to soak up your curries or whenever you feel like it. I am usually hopeless at making bread but I can ace this. Great recipe for bread-idiots like me. Also known as naan, this bread is a staple on our kitchen table and its a great recipe to get the kids involved to make this together.
Skye, (age 9) knows the recipe by heart now. I am also comforted by the idea that she would not starve when is in ...
Episode 6: Mat & Teriyaki Chicken with Seaweed Sausages

Teriyaki Chicken with Seaweed Sausages (or Meatballs/Patties)
I love juicy plump sausages!! If you don't have a sausage maker at home (KitchenAid sells the add on accessory), you can make these into meatballs or burger patties too. Love the addition of seaweed and sesame seeds as they provide texture and colour besides flavour!
This is a quick easy recipe to attempt, very impressionable and tastes so good!!
1 on 1: Filming with Iwa
Iwa, like I have mentioned in my video introduction has been my secret gym idol for awhile. We met through mutual friends and have had a couple of play dates together as her girls are a close age to mine but I never knew she was a gym junkie and particularly a Body Pump fan.
I signed up at Fitness First in Paragon on 21 May 2015 because I was tired of exercising on my own. I am never the sort that requires peer presence to motivate me to work out, my sheer determination to reach a goal ...
Asian Salsa, served cold
I love salsa. When I am tired of eating salads, a salsa can really spice up the flavors. Here's my version, again using lots of Asian herbs and a twist on the dressing using homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. For the salsa ingredients, you can add whatever you want in there - be creative and good way to use up pantry ingredients!
Episode 5: Penny and Fern Tips Grated Coconut Salad
Welcome to magical Bali!

I am delighted to introduce Chef Penny to you on this episode. We had so much fun working up a sweat in the beautiful water palace gardens of Tirta Gangga and obviously garnered up a crowd to watch a ...
Bumbu Bali Recipe
Chef Penny says there's many different type of Bumbu (paste) and this one we made today is authentically Balinese. In Bali Asli where she cooks, the kitchen is a traditional one - from wood fired stoves to mortar and pestle. Most of the dishes are prepared with hands and lots of love!
There may be some ingredients that is hard to source in your city, but Chef Penny has provided some alternatives in case.
Make a batch over the weekend and freeze them in your ice cube trays. Once ...
Fern Tip Salad with Grated Coconuts and Beans
Yes, I confess right now. This is not a quick salad to put together, it does requires some time and love to prepare the ingredients. However, it is too good not to share with you guys.
Chef Penny suggest that you make the Bumbu Bali ahead, and freeze them in your ice trays, and just remove 1 block if you are making this salad for 2 persons. So find some time over the weekend, you would not regret making this sexy salad, every bit as delicious as it sounds.
Let me know what you ...
