Good-Looking Pilaf

Oh, watched A Cook’s Tour tonight. (Yes, my weekly epicurean TV fix. Can you tell I’m a fan? ) One of the two episodes shown was the Bangkok/Singapore one. And the home-cooked pilaf in the Singapore segment looked so good! And best of all, it was cooked in a rice-cooker – simple, easy and quick. Wow! I would love to know the recipe for that pilaf. It was cooked separate from the meat, and had dried fruits, nuts, veggies etc. Yum! I’ve been looking for a good pilaf / briyani rice recipe for the longest time – one that is fuss-free, quick and easy.

And the dessert served in the Nefertiti Restaurant in Bangkok looked really yummilicious too! Looked like a cross between bread-and-butter pudding, crème caramel and custard. Hmmm… more "soul food". (Today does seem like a day for comfort food doesn't it?) I would love the recipe for that too!

Drool, drool… I think I shall have very tasty dreams tonight!
