Another long weekend has come to an end for the Malaysians and I trust that you have enjoyed the Raya celebrations, or for the non-Muslims, enjoyed holidays. I don’t have any close Malay friends in KL, so my Raya celebration involved a lot of cooking and spending time with half my family, namely my mother…

Wagyu Beef Bulgogi Stew
Last weekend was an eventful one. We attended our dear friend Kris Kim‘s debut piano concert at KLPac and was immensely proud of him. Just brilliant. There were also long intense rehearsals for a gig we played on Saturday. The gig itself was, umm, different. Can’t say I’ve enjoyed that venue so much as the…
Let’s Meet Up at Al-Amar Express
I could probably eat Lebanese food everyday. Then again, it’s probably not a bad thing. Lebanese cuisine is quite healthy as it usually involves a lot of fresh and raw vegetables, whole grains, lean animal proteins, and often simply seasoned with lemon, olive oil, garlic and some of my favourite spices. The cooking methods usually…
Beef and Vegetables Lasagna with Truffle Oil
It’s always useful to have a few recipes that you know by heart. Most of our moms probably cook everything without measurements of any kind. The basic meat sauce recipe is a good one to start with. Apart from the classic beef lasagna, you could use it with Spaghetti for your classic Spag Bol. You…

The Quest for the Best Beef Burger in Kuala Lumpur
And that happens right here in my kitchen, as requested by Frank. Last sinful post before embarking on a vegetarian diet for 2 weeks. Who would have known that, some 120 years ago, that this ‘meat in a bun’ would take the world by storm? We have major fast food chains such as McDonald’s to…
Com Bo Luc Lac (Vietnamese Shaking Beef with Tomato Rice)
Another Vietnamese meal this week! I think I’ve well and truly satisfied my cravings by this stage. Needless to say, I’m also feeling very bloated from all the festive eating. I think another vegan week is in order. But first, let me present to you: Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef), another popular Vietnamese dish. No,…
Ukrainian Borscht (罗宋汤)
I’ve been re-reading a lot of 亦舒‘s (Yi Shu) books lately, thanks to the free download on iPad. Though she has published over 180 books including novels and short stories of different genres, she writes mainly romance novels, set in modern day Hong Kong, or Canada (she has migrated there). Most of the main characters under her…
Here’s the beef!
Last week I had a little pot luck get together with my friends David and his gf Siew Li. Yes. This was pre-detox and also mainly why we decided to go vegan. There was no specific theme but Frank requested for beef (about the only animal he would consume, really) and I wanted to make…
