Nasi Kuning Komplit (Indonesian Yellow Rice Set) – Gourmet Conviction
Aromatic scent of lemongrass, coconut milk, bay leaves and kaffir lime leaves slowly filled our kitchen as we steamed the jasmine rice with added turmeric to naturally give its distinct color.

Mini Shepherd's Pie – Gourmet Conviction
Shepherd’s Pie, Cottage’s Pie, you name it. But I will stand with my fellow Australians to call this dish the “Shepherd’s Pie”.

Malaysian Chicken Curry – Gourmet Conviction
I have a curry plant at the back of my house which has been there since I moved in. I thought I would utilize it by making this fabulous Malaysian comfort food. There were indeed many unfamiliar ingredients like turmeric, galangal or lemon grass that made me scratched my head. But it was actually fun experimenting […]
Creamy Potato Salad – Gourmet Conviction
Summer can sometimes be nasty. With temperature hitting 39 degrees, you don’t want to risk cooking too much and contribute to rapidly sweltering air. Potato salad was my best friend last week as I needed something to cool myself down. As easy as counting one two three, preparation took less than 30 minutes. Best prepared the […]
Jerk Ham – Gourmet Conviction
This Christmas I decided to do something I haven’t done before: roasting this ginormous leg ham. Cooking started by reparing the jerk marinate one day before: humble garlic, red brave onion, loud jalapeno, tiny little thyme, proud bay leaves, with goodness of ground allspice, nutmeg and clove, and finished off with a splash of golden […]
