In light of MCO 3.0, we are not able to dine in restaurants or cafes as before. Though online food delivery apps such as Grab or Food Panda amongst many others offer us a variety of choices, we can’t help but get bored with the same mundane choice of food.
So your best bet? Cooking! This is the time for you to get hands-on with your culinary expertise.
If you don’t like the idea of washing up everything after a meal or are a beginner chef, fret not. We have found you, wait for it…. one-pot recipes! They require lesser work and cooking wares to cook up a mouth-watering meal all in one pot!
Not to mention, we’ve found recipes that are easy to make all the time as they require ingredients that you can easily get in supermarkets & online grocery stores in Malaysia.
