I'm going to select posts that most of you have never seen, which are from my first 2 years of blogging.
I have a lot of favourites, so it's hard to get only 7 out of 539 posts. LOL.
1. Barazek.
A middle eastern cookie that is my first Step by Step post. Pictures maybe horrible because my hubby was not eager to take them for me and that time, I have never used his DSLR before and neither do I know of any editing software. I love this cookie but have never made this since.
2. Palak Tofu.
I began to explore into spices after this dish after realising the wonderful aroma that a small pinch of cumin can give me. Spices in curries or heavily flavoured dishes are undecipherable, so I have never learnt to appreciate spices even though I've been eating curries since I was a kid. Disgusting this dish may look, but it's very delicious, at least to my family. Cooked this few times.
3. Fern Shoots with Hot and Sour Dressing
I love this dish, but never made this again, although I've made it many times prior to blogging.
Maybe I should to this again in near future
4. Dulce De Leche Cream Cake
I couldn't believe that with this post, I started the DDL frenzy among the regional bloggers. After I posted I began seeing a lot of bakes with DDL coming out that I've never seen before in the regional blogging scene.
But most of all, this cake marked an important milestone in my blogging life. Something that I've worked hard for, long enough.
5. Orange Bread Pudding
Delicious, even until today I still think of it at times. Made just once.
The pictures had me wowed. That time I was just learning to hold the DSLR and I was wondering why those pictures came out so nice, each of them, until I didn't know which to choose. I rarely had such luck with pictures that time. I kept on asking my hubby, "Why today the pictures so nice ah?".
6. Upside Down Apple Sponge with Demerara Caramel
Still my ultimate comfort cake..... until today. Made this twice but am still thinking of it.
7. Spicy Lala
A delicious dish that my in laws rave about immensely. LOL. Mother in Law, brother in law, sister in law... husband... everybody loved this and I think it's the dish that they replicate the most often.
Sometimes I do think of myself..... when will I repeat the dishes. There are just soooooooo many out there for us to try. And that makes my husband complain.
Have a nice week ahead
Glad you posted all these posts because I would never have seen your spicy lala if you didn't! Loved this write up of posts :D

Hahaha, I guess yr hubby takes everything for granted, like MINE. He used to complain a lot too, not after I fell sick and not cooking for a week!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the re-cap. I can't remember seeing the posting of Barazek biscuits. I am actually looking for it. Tasted it once at a friend house but not sure the name of it. I am going to make that.
ReplyDeleteyummylittlecooks,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support and I'm glad my recipes worked. See you around :)
Belly Good Cooking,
Yeah, once I steamed fish for him every other day cos he told me not to be fancy with fish, and he can eat steamed fish daily. After a few sessions, he got sick if it, even it was only every other day. LOL.

Barazek was posted way before you even knew I existed. LOL.
Barazek is addictive, I dare not make it. LOL.
