As promised, I’m back with a recipe. And this one is a doozy, featuring one of the most versatile protein, chicken. Specifically, the thighs (well, legs). The breast lovers can divert your attention now (or make the substitution if you want). There must be over a hundred way to cook Chicken thighs, even in Malaysia…

Spanakopita (Spinach and Feta) Turnovers
Ask any ordinary home baker what their biggest fear is and you’ll probably hear puff pastry most often. In fact, most Chefs don’t make puff pastry from scratch, as good frozen version is readily available anyway. After succeeding in shortcrust pastry, I’ve been promising myself to tackle puff pastry at home for the longest time….
Baked Egg in Mushroom Tartlets (Delia Smith)
I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’ve never heard of Delia Smith (English Cook/TV Presenter) prior to this Cook Like a Star bloghop event. And after browsing through her website deliaonline.com I’ve decided that I love this woman. Her recipes are simple, straight forward but attractive and nourishing at the same time. There are…
Jalapeño Cheese Cornbread
Feeling extra lethargic lately and wondering why the time goes by so quickly. Then I realised that this week I’ve gigged Monday, Friday and made a little guest appearance on Wednesday at another show. No wonder I’m sitting here dazed, after my long rehearsal in the afternoon with my boys. I’m not sure if this…
Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner: Yee Sang and Teochew Steamed Pomfret Recipe
So the year of Snake is finally here! I bet you have been eating up a storm. Did you have a reunion dinner with your family, or were you doing the ‘orphan’ dinners overseas like what I used to do with my friends? Did you cook up a feast or just let your local Chinese…
Lemony Almond Cookies
Wow, can you believe it’s only 2 more days til Chinese (Lunar) New Year? I’ve been seeing so many Chinese New Year related recipes posted on blogs and facebook and it’s been such a temptation! After going through hundreds of recipes, I’ve decided I’d be making Almond Cookies this year. Because I simply love Almond…
Charcoal Pork Burger
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…
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….
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…
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)…
