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…

Christmas Dinner 2012
Happy Holidays everyone! How’s your waistline doing this Christmas? Rapidly expanding or staying in the safe zone? I’ve been having a feast with my eyes seeing so many delicious pics posted on Facebook, Twitter and Blogs, and getting a serious case of food envy for the past few days. It’s great to be surrounded by…
My Left Knee and Quiche
My left knee has suffered quite a lot of damage over the years. I still remember 10 years ago when I was at Crown Casino Melbourne’s arcade (I know that no 19 year olds should be hanging around arcades, still..) because it was one of the very few arcades in Melbourne that housed a Para…
Carrot, Green Beans and Polenta Fritters
Need an idea for a festive brunch but don’t want to work too hard on it because you have spent the whole night fussing about the Turkey, Glazed Ham with all the trimmings? What about some carrot fritters? Everyone would have a carrot or 3 lying around the fridge somewhere (that is, unless you are…
Filming the Spice Race with Beef Pho Recipe
Few months ago when I was in Melbourne, I got a phone call from a friend of mine inviting me to film a cooking competition. Except this was no ordinary competition. The dishes are cooked by a bunch of models who might or might not have the first idea about cooking. I wasn’t briefed beforehand…

Asia Pastry Forum: Breads with Franck Heuze with Recipe for Foccacia Mediterranean
In my last post, I’ve mentioned the voucher to attend one of the Demonstration classes during Asia Pastry Forum 2012, held at the Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia, as a prize for the Nutriplus Pastry Competition. There were quite a few choices: French Pastries, Entremet, Plated Desserts, Chocolate and Praline, Wedding Cakes and Breads. I…
Think Out of the Shell: The NutriPlus Pastry Competition Final
After the nerve wrecking experience at the Semi Final, I spent the next few days thinking of what to make for the final. In hindsight, I probably should have be more prepared as the theme for the final was announced a week earlier: Tropical Fruits and Nutriplus Eggs. I thought of a Mango Creme Brulee…
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,…
This Night Owl Loves Her Eggs
Are you a morning lark, or a night owl? Do you function best in the morning without the aid of caffeine or do you envy the ones who can? Believe it or not, our circadian clock might have something to do with our genes. Some studies (read up here and here) have even suggested the…
