Sago Gula Melaka

A truly classic Malaysian dessert. Served cold with coconut milk and Gula Melaka syrup, it is perfect on a hot day!

Hello hello!

I am introducing a classic Malaysian dessert on Nomsies Kitchen today. It is Sago with Gula Melaka.

It is rather simple to make. Sago pearls are boiled with water and then chilled to make little puddings. It is then served with coconut milk and Gula Melaka (palm sugar syrup). It is really easy to do as most of the time used in its preparation is actually inactive time. My British friends have told me it is somewhat similar to rice pudding.

This dessert is perfect eaten on a hot day. A bite of this and you can just imagine that you are at a beach resort in the Tropics. Ahh, now who wouldn’t want that?

Mustard Roast Potatoes

Super savoury roast potatoes that you will not be able to stop eating! Crisp and fluffy, you don’t even need to par-boil them first. Superb side dish!

Hello!

How are we doing today? Who is up for some tasty roasted potatoes with mustard?

These roasted fluffy beauties are so delicious. I first made them a couple of days back and since then have not been able to stop craving them. So I just had to make them again. They are sensational and just take regular roasted potatoes up another level.

No need for par-boiling the potatoes here. Well, you can if you want but I skipped this step and the potatoes were still fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Potato heaven.

I used two types of mustards here, English mustard and wholegrain mustard. I love English mustard here for the zing and bite it adds to the flavours. If you can’t take it, just wholegrain or regular mustard will work too.

Fish Congee

A classic one-pot meal, you can never turn down a bowl of steaming fish congee.

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to a fun-filled weekend! I am having such a good time watching the World Cup, I tell you, I have been experiencing a lack of voice from all the shouting I have been doing at my TV. It’s a rest day from the football today so I thought I might catch up on my blogging.

Since I have been cooking for one this week, it has been really slow food wise. I cook something and it takes me 2 days to finish the whole lot. It’s good in a way, as that means I have more time to do other things. Ideally, I should be telling you that I have been uber productive and spring cleaned the house and ran a 100 miles but no, it’s more like watching football with the Kardashians and the Fashion Police in between.  

Anyway, one of my easy one-pot meals for one is fish congee. I love congee and always order it when I have dim sum. At home, I make this really easy fish congee with cod fish. It’s just putting everything in a pot and leaving it to boil. I can never refuse a bowl of this comforting congee and I hope you try it for yourself.
