Looking at my my blog entries it seems like I only make asian or Malaysian dishes. Well, that is not entirely true since Michael doesn't really eat my food so everytime I cook something for myself, I will cook something western for him like here, here and here.Recently we went to Ross and I found this cooking book called Best-Ever 500 Recipes. They might have 500 recipes but typical me, I would only try to make something if 1) I have the ingredients or at least substitute with something that I already have 2) its easy to make 3) its something that either one of us would like. So I chose to make these Swiss Souffle Potatoes and they turned out so good I wish I had made more.
Swiss Souffle Potatoes
serves 2
2 baking potatoes (about 1lb)
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese (I used mozzarella)
1/4 cup herb butter (I used regular butter)
2 tbsp double/heavy cream (I used evaporated milk)
1 egg, separated
salt and ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Scrub the potatoes and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 1-1.5hrs or until tender. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350F.
3. Halves potatoes and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Place the potato shells on a baking sheet and return to the oven to crisp up while making the filling.
4. Mash the potato flesh, add cheese, butter and egg yolk. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Whisk white egg until stiff and carefully fold into the potato mixture. Pile the mixture back into the potato shells and bake for 20-25min until risen and golden brown.

I have the same problem like you. I have to cook two type of food sometimes. This potatos dish would be good for thankgiving dinner. I might do this dish. Thanks for sharing Farina.
Farina, sedapnya.. thanks for sharing ya.. hugs!
Wah Farina..that's a lot of dishes in a day!
My hubby also doesnt eat any Asian foods. My kids only eat the ones that are not pedas. Or the ones that *smell* nice. Ha! No funky smelling foods for them. *rolling eyes*
But I dont cook 2 different cuisines a day lah. Mati, dah! Mostly, I'll cook Western foods but on the days my hubby has duty and wont be coming home, ah...all the Asian dishes start coming out. Kalau I masak yang pedas2, then I will take out the-oh-so-dependable-frozen-chicken-nuggets for the kids. Hahahaha..
Gert, kita serupa! lol.
Mas, thank you and you're welcome.
Sri, no stinky food for your girls huh? I think when we have kids, im gonna train them fr young. lol.
oh..my..god.. THAT LOOKS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I'm drooling!!
That looks amazing Farina... I love all the things you cook, really... but I adore your Malaysian foods because you present them in a way that makes them approachable to us Westerners. You've opened my eyes to a cuisine I knew nothing about but can see I would really love. For that, I thank you :)
Looking at my my blog entries it seems like I only make asian or Malaysian dishes. - I am very happy about this! No complaints here :)
Twiggy, u kan dah jadi ala-kitchen diva now so im sure you can make these. :)
Jo, that is so sweet of you and it meant a lot to me coming from someone who has never even had a Malaysian dish before. *hugs*
Cynthia, I am happy that you're happy with my Malaysian dishes. ;)
