The social scene in KL has been rather busy lately. Of course, in the midst of all the Pre-arthur’s day celebrations, and several launches of new outlets, the Oktoberfest and Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) are both about to take off as well. It’s no wonder we are swamped with events to attend for the…

Sarawak MFF: Stir-fried Manicai with Eggs
I’d like to thank Wendy from Table for 2 or more for organising the Malaysia Food Fest. It’s such a meaningful exercise for us to get to know the unique dishes from each state of our country. And best still, I get to share some of the dishes I’ve grown up eating. Which is why…
Kar Heong Restaurant and Few Announcements etc.
Firstly, I’d like to draw your attention to a local movie which has just opened over the weekend: Kepong Gangster 《甲洞》 (click on link to find out what the movie is all about). Several months ago I was invited to play an extra on the movie. It was a mere 20 seconds or so footage, but still…
Make and Eat Tau Huay Day
Many food bloggers in Singapore have been rather upset over the Dîner en Blanc fiasco (the dust has since settled following an apology from the organiser). Do read here, here and here for the background. Even though I don’t live in Singapore, I thought I’d join in to make my very own Tau Huay (Tau Fu Fa)….
Foochow Braised Fried Noodles (Chao Zhu Mian)
This is another dish that I grew up eating in Bintulu, Sarawak. I remember having them in school canteens. Now and then when I go back to Bintulu I’d order one… well, after I had my Kampua mee and Sarawak Laksa of course. I was in Bintulu for a few days back in March this…
Five Spice Braised Soy Sauce Chicken Mini Pies
If you were wondering how come there’s a sudden increase in Chicken Pies’ photos in your facebook stream, or instagram it’s because this week’s Bake Along‘s theme is Chicken Pie. This is my first time participating in the challenge and I hope I will be diligent enough to continue. Most chicken pies have all-too-common leek, mushrooms…
My biggest project yet: Bak Zhang
The Duanwu Festival, also called Dragon Boat festival is upon us again. I have told myself year after year to learn the art of wrapping bak zhang (Zongzi). However, due to the distance from our very own Bak Zhang master, my Grandma (and perhaps my laziness), I was reluctant to attempt this without some form…
Foochow Cuisine: Zao Cai Fen Gan (糟菜粉干)
As I’ve blogged about Bak Chor Mee which represents half of my heritage (Teochew), it’s only apt that I balance it up with the other half today: Something Foochow. Which is really a subcategory of the entire Fujian (Hokkien) cuisine. There really isn’t much information available on the interweb about Foochow food, but I’m sure…
The Klutz Queen and Bak Chor Mee
This week has been a little bit of a down time for me. Granted, few days of rest following a hectic weekend (2 long gigs over the weekend) is quite therapeutic, if it wasn’t for a fall on Wednesday night which landed me a busted right knee. Kelly and slippery floor don’t bond very well…
Claypot Tofu with Vegetables
It’s been nearly a week on the Vegetarian diet and so far so good! I’m a little obsessive and have been spending a lot of time typing up and revising my ‘diet plan’. I’ll let you have a look at it. By the way, I got the date of Chap Goh Meh* wrong so ignore…
