Merdeka Weekend Baking - Spiral Curry Puff a.k.a Karipap

On the second day of the long Merdeka weekend, I made chicken curry puff. This curry puff is no ordinary curry puff because it has a flakier and crispier pastry than the normal curry puff. If you love Homi curry puff then you'll love this. It's like homemade Homi curry puff, healthier and less oily. Mind you, these are good enough reasons to make your own curry puffs and your heart will thank you for it!

I found this recipe from a Nyonya kuih cookbook by Ricky Ng but I've altered it here and there. I didn't know spiral curry puff is Peranakan cuisine. Any idea, anyone?

Quick and Easy Chicken Mushroom Pie

Hearty pies make a great lunch box meal at school or work

I’ve been baking far too many cakes lately and it’s about time to bake more savoury treats that can double up as a main meal. I was thinking of something delicious that can conveniently be packed in our lunch boxes and chicken pie it was. 

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to make puff pastry because we don’t know either. Nothing’s wrong with using cheat puff pastry which you can easily find in the frozen section of the supermarket. The one we got is locally made, from Kawan Food. The pastry was fresh and good and you won’t be able to tell that it’s frozen.

Bento Box

Mmm... nutritious and healthy lunch box

Before I fly off for my short vacation tomorrow I want to share a simple bento box recipe with you so that you can try it over the weekend.

The bento box will consist of rice, chicken nanban, potato salad and cabbage and spinach salad.
