Pork sinigang. It's a Filipino sour soup typically made with tamarind powder, but given the current COVID-19 situation, I hadn't been able to head out to the Asian supermarket for the right ingredients. I ended up substituting lemon juice, then throwing in the usual pork, veggies, and seasonings, and the dish turned out pretty great!

I made some pan-fried dumplings recently! It took me around three hours to knead the dough, season the filling, fold it nicely, boil it (initially) and fry it.

It was so tiring but it’s definitely worth it! ❤️

Pizza.. I made it a couple of days back from scratch.. Dough, pizza sauce, base, chopping and everything. It was very tedious! But ultimately it tasted good😁

I make almost everything from scratch (cakes, bread, snacks), but the last thing I made from scratch is chocolate rolls.

Cinnamon rolls! I accidentally doubled the recipe and ended up with way too many cinnamon rolls!

I made a cheesecake. I got the recipe from the inside of the Philadelphia Cream Cheese box, so I thought why not.

I have made a lot of foods. But I want to make chicken biryani one day from scratch. Hopefully, I'll make it well.
