Tony Roma’s Ribs Election Showdown

Several months ago (Nov 2012 to be exact), 3 types of delectable ribs were contending in an ‘election’ campaign hosted by Tony Roma’s, in conjunction with their 40th anniversary celebrations. They were the Bountiful Beef Ribs, Beef Short Ribs and Malaysia’s very own Lamb Ribs. I have tried them all and my favourite ‘candidate’ was…

Chinese New Year’s Cake (年糕 Nian Gao)

An important announcement to make before anything else: I’m featured in a food magazine! The January issue of nourish! magazine is now available for sale. I’m waiting for my own copy, but if you see one on the stand, do get one. It’s more than just an ordinary food magazine, I can promise you that….

Magnum Ice Cream Party

We have a designated dessert eater at home. And that’s not me. I like my sweet treats in small amounts but Frank can inhale a few Magnums at once (6 in total), so I discovered last Wednesday night at the Magnum preview party. Need to bring him to a glucose tolerance test soon I think….

Black Pizza (Bamboo Charcoal Crust)

The first time I’ve ever come across charcoal baked goods was when Bread Top in Melbourne launched the Charcoal Garlic Bun. It was the most simple thing. Just like any other garlic bread, though a little sweet. The black colour intrigues me no end. I’m just obsessed with black food in general, another example: Squid…

A Celebration of Good Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity with GAB

Whenever there’s an event held at the GAB tavern, right at the brewery itself, I always make sure I could attend. Where else can you get beer as fresh as this right? Sid’s Pubs come the close second, of course. Last week, GAB celebrated the launch of their Chinese New Year promotion, and we were…

Nobu’s Miso Glazed Cod, Cha Soba (Bonus Nasu Dengaku Recipe)

When Nobu first opened up in Melbourne (this was quite a few years ago), we wasted no time to check it out as I kept hearing people waxing lyrical over the Miso Black Cod. It’s Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s signature dish and also said to be Robert De Niro’s (he’s one of the owners of Nobu)…

Renoma Cafe Gallery: Sunday Brunch

Renoma Cafe Gallery (hereby referred as RCG) has been blogged about by nearly all the food bloggers in Kuala Lumpur, some even more than once. I have been tempted time and time again, but it was Kc’s undying excitement that finally saw me walking into this restaurant with a very unique concept. Walking in, you…

Seremban MFF: Hakka Mee

First recipe of the year! And what more appropriate (for the noodle monster in me) than a plate of sexy noodles simply tossed with some umami pork gravy, freshened up by spring onions and pickled green chili? That’s right, I’m talking about Hakka Mee. It’s Negeri Sembilan month for Malaysian Food Fest. If you would…

New Year, New Hairdo – Grado Icon Hair Studio

When it comes to hair, I’m probably one of the laziest person you know. I go to hair salon once a year, usually on my birthday. Few years ago I used to have some pretty funky colours on my hair, though I reverted to black in 2010 and have not touched it since. Unfortunately, due…

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

Wow, the whole December must have been on fast forward mode. In the food blogging world, there were many themed challenges this month, some of which I was able to participate (sorry Alan, didn’t get to do your Aspiring Bakers’ Challenge). While in the musical part of my life, it has been a mad run…
