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…

Mentaiko (明太子) Pasta with Mushrooms
I first learned about Mentaiko from Cheesie’s blog. Her obsession with Mentaiko is rather endearing and this entry made me chuckle and envious at the same time. Since then I’ve been seeing Mentaiko everywhere on blogs and restaurant menus. Lately though, Mentaiko Pasta seems to be all the craze around here and after seeing yet…
Breakfast is so much better with homemade bread
It’s yet another Saturday! There are so many events on today in the Klang Valley. MTV World Stage (not going because I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber, enough said), Bon Odori, Clinique Beach Party and TEDxKL. Yet I’m staying at home with a mild food poisoning from unknown source. I suspect it’s from the…
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…
Of Weekends and Cauliflower and Mushroom Mac N Cheese
Did you have a good weekend? I sure did! Weekends are always eventful for me as I gig almost every Friday and Saturday. Best thing about performing in a bar/restaurant setting is that I often catch up with my friends at the same time. It’s great doing what you love as a ‘job’. And Sundays?…
Vanilla Quinoa “Rice” Pudding
So it’s a rainy and somewhat cold morning and I woke up way too early. I suspect it’s to do with the pain in my hip. That’s right, I had yet another fall. Somebody please childproof this apartment! Sleep deprived, and wanting something soft and creamy, I’ve come up with a “Rice Pudding” except with…
Smashed Avocado and Feta on Toast
Ahh…. I don’t eat avocados enough. It’s mainly because the avocados here are all imported and can get quite expensive. (RM5.99 for one in Village grocer!) But from time to time I do get cravings for this incredibly creamy and delicious fruit. So when the craving strikes I just have to close my eyes and pick one…
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…
