I had wanted to make the Charcoal Burger Buns for a while, made famous initially by the Darth Vader Burger in France (though I’m not sure if they had used Charcoal powder or just food colouring but it was love at first sight), and then more recently by our very own successful myBurgerLab. Well, 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…
Celebrating This Blog’s 1st Birthday with Purple Carrot Cake
First of all… my blog has turned 1!! Yay *throws confetti* Over the year, I’ve written 120 posts including this one, which is more productive than I’ve expected. Needless to say, it has helped me widen my cooking/baking repertoire and opened doors that I didn’t even think of opening. In less than a week’s time,…
Marutama Ramen
A few days ago, Time Out KL published a list of the Best Ramen in KL. Out of the 9 on the list, I’ve already been to 5 of them, some of them more than once! For someone who doesn’t even eat out much, I guess that makes me a certified Ramen addict (you probably…
Sarawak MFF: Kolo Mee 干捞面
I’m absolutely loving the Malaysia Food Fest’s Sarawak Month. Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm about Sarawak and its offering is rather heartening. If you have not joined in the fun, check out the facebook event page for all the lovely entries so far. Even as a Sarawakian myself, I’m still discovering new dishes I’ve never tried before….
Super Kitchen Chili Pan Mee: Not for the faint-hearted!
If you love spicy food, and have been to, or currently live in Kuala Lumpur, you must have heard of the Chili Pan Mee. Original Pan Mee is a type of Hokkien flat noodles that is handmade and cut, then served either in soup or dry with various toppings. Nowadays, machines are widely used to…
Got a hangover? Try the Baked Eggs
Whoa! Last night’s Heineken New Bottle Launch party was one hell of a night. Personally I’m more of a wine addict drinker (lower calories, better taste) but I got carried away with the beer. A new bottle kept being handed to me before I finish the one before. And to think I’m supposed to be on…
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…
First Attempt on Tonkotsu Ramen
The Ramen craze has well and truly arrived in Kuala Lumpur. Over the last few months, quite a few Ramen joints sprouted, including the infamous Menya Musashi in One Utama (as well as Gantetsu), Hokkaido Santouka in Pavilion and many more. What’s not to love? We are after all a Noodle nation. I’m sure some…
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…
