Pilot


I started this blog a few months ago while I was still studying.
I've actually just completed my degree & thought I'd best get back into it what with all the free time I (finally) have on my hands after all these years.


My initial plan for this blog was to put up food reviews of all the places I have either gone to or plan to go to, to give you all a sense of what it's like & to help you decide if you would like to go there or not.

But since then, I've decided to do something a little different.

When I was studying, eating out was rather expensive. My allowance was usually just enough to cover expenses like petrol, rent, utilities & groceries. But if I spent wisely I was able to check out restaurants with good food every once in a while instead of hawker stalls all the time.

Because I had such a limitation, I started cooking. Nothing elaborate of course. Just simple, easy-to-make food that was yummy & quick to whip up.

I've made quite a few easy dishes that I thought I'd share with fellow students/working adults around the web who are looking for a quick fix to a quick meal at home on weeknights & even on weekends!



A lot of my recipes are my own, after seeing mom cook whenever I was back home on semester break etc. Some recipes are inspired by friends. 

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to e-mail me at shaheena_14@yahoo.com

Let's get started now, shall we 😈

Fried Udon

I'll be sharing a very simple Fried Udon recipe today. I remember making this one night after a long day of classes. Took me less than 15 minutes. It kinda looks like mamak mee goreng because of the noodles but I like this udon better than the yellow mee that is usually used for fried noodles. Chanced upon this packet of Instant Japanese Fresh Udon once while grocery shopping & it didn't disappoint! This recipe is for 1. Here are the things you will need: 1. Instant Japanese Fresh Udon - 1 pack #Tip: This is the one that I've used so far. I'm sure there are many variations of fresh-packed udon in the supermarket so you can take your pick. 2. Sawi (Mustard greens) - as much as you like 3. Fish balls - 1 small packet 4. Dried chili paste - 2 to 3 tbsp (or however much you like) 5. Oyster sauce - 1 tbsp 6. Light soy sauce - 1 tsp 7. Minced garlic - 3 to 4 pips 8. 1 small onion - chopped 9. Water - 3 tbsp 10. Oil (I usually use ...
