International Incident Cobbler Party – Veal osso buco cobbler

by jeroxie September 28, 2011

Anyway, I always have good intentions when thinking about what to cook for #iip and I usually end up not exactly cooking the dish I had in my mind. My hangover wasn’t too bad but it was enough not to wake up too early and making my way down to the farmers market. Too lazy and really can’t be bothered to track all the way to Slow Food. I ended up getting veal osso busco instead.

International Incident Cobbler Party

A cobbler is basically a sweet (mostly fruity) or savory filling with a biscuit like pastry cooked on top of it. The fruit cobbler is really simple to make but so satisfying. It is dessert that I call hearty, comforting and no fuss.

Round up – International Incident Mexican Breakfast Party

by jeroxie September 8, 2011

To many of you, Asian ingredients and cooking techniques may seem really exotic, foreign and a little magical. For me, it is Mexico! All the off cuts and weird parts of animals in a soft taco. Delicious. And then hawker seafood in Tijauna. I am salivating just thinking about it. I am desperately dropping hints to Mister and even started creating a google map of places to eat and explore for Mexico!

International Incident Mexican Breakfast Party – Mexican eggs with smoked eel

by jeroxie August 28, 2011

I love breakfasts. Breakfasts means weekend.  Please do not judge but I hardly have breakfasts during work days. It is usually a large latte and on occasion, a bowl of boring cereal. So breakfasts on weekends are so important to me. It has to be good. Actually, it has to be awesome to make up [...]

International Incident Mexican Breakfast Party

by jeroxie August 20, 2011

I love breakfasts and never have time for a proper one during work days. Breakfasts on work days is mostly either boring cereal or just a massive cup of coffee. Don’ start going ‘tsk tsk’… how many of you actually have a proper sit down breakfast on work days? Seriously. I was really keen to have a breakfast theme and always liked a little spice in my breakfast. Whenever I am back in Singapore for a visit, my regular breakfast will be a plate of Mee Siam. It is my all time favourite dish for breakfast and then followed by Jui Kueh with a spoonful of chilli on the side. I might do an Asian breakfast theme next year more now, we are heading to Mexico.

Round up – International Sichuan Incident Party

by jeroxie August 11, 2011

This International Sichuan Incident Party round up is dedicated to those that have participated and been so supported in the last party that I did not join in as my dad has recently passed. It has been almost 4 weeks but it still hurts. My mum will be arriving this Saturday and it will be great to have her around. It has been quite tough for her alone in Singapore but also very thankful to my relatives and her girlfriends that have accompanied her since I left to come back to Melbourne.

Round up – International Incident Terrine Party

by jeroxie July 8, 2011

Work has been so crazy lately. Blogging does keep my sanity a little and really do not want it to be a stress. I want blogging to be fun. And it is just like work. Sometimes just running around and working and going and going all day, work loses its joy. It is my second month in and I feel like it has been ages! I love the pace but there are certain elements about it that I absolutely dislike. The people at work either make work joyous or miserable.

International Incident Terrine Party – Sushi terrine

by jeroxie June 28, 2011

I have eaten my fair share of terrines but have only made one terrine in my entire cooking life. To be honest, I am not particularly a big pan of terrine. They are pretty look at and some are delicious but I sometimes think that it lacks punchy flavours or just way too rich for my liking. I guess I never had the perfect terrine.

International Incident Terrine Party

by jeroxie June 20, 2011

I made a terrine ages ago. Actually before I started a blog. I remembered it was salmon terrine. And there is something about terrine that I love to eat but find it really fiddly to do. I always think that arty people makes beautiful and pretty terrines. Making and creating terrine is process driven. It is like baking in many ways. So I fear. And which is why I thought this is a good motivation for me and I hope many, to overcome the fear.

Round up – International Incident Gumbo Party

We are almost settled back into Melbourne. I started a new job when I got back and so it is taking awhile to get used to new desk and new colleagues. There is a lot more work than my last job, longer hours and more responsibilities. And having to deal with my lost luggage which [...]

by jeroxie May 15, 2011

We are finally settling back home in Melbourne after travelling for 3 weeks. We travelled through San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto and then hit New York before our epic and dramatic journey back home. Planes and airports were our home for the next couple of days as we trekked back.

International Incident Gumbo Party

by jeroxie May 5, 2011

Please forgive me but I am still travelling. Right now, I am in New York and it is our last leg of our trip. It has been so great, met many super nice people and ate way too much. Even though I have been slack and it seems that only a small group of people [...]

Round up – International Incident Cake Pops Party

by jeroxie April 26, 2011

Apologies that the round up is a little late this month as I have been travelling and just landed in Toronto today. I am with Mardi and we actually made some macarons shells today and will ganache them tomorrow. It has been a great trip so far. I have started a flickr collection of the trip. View it if you have the spare 5 minutes. I will keep adding to the album as I find time to edit the photos.

International Incident Cake Pops party – Dulce de Leche cake pop

by jeroxie April 17, 2011

Cake pops seem to be increasing in popularity. But many people seem to be afraid to try making them at home. I did procrastinate for a little while which is why I decided to make this as a theme for April. I needed some sort of motivation. I did a fair bit of research and to be honest, I was trying to figure out the easiest but yummiest way to make these cake pops. Also I picked tips from the recent article on Herald Sunday Food that showcased cake pops as the new and upcoming pop stars.

International Incident Cake Pops Party

by jeroxie April 4, 2011

Some people say that cake pops is the new cupcakes. I reckon they each hold their own charm and creativity. Having a variety of cakes and sweets at a party is always a good thing. And cake pops is just as easy as making cupcakes but the cooking and waiting time can sometime take a little longer. But is it worth the wait? I guess you have to make it to find out?
