Some twelve years ago when I first moved to Melbourne, Daimaru was one of the biggest Japanese Chain right in the CBD. To be specific, it used to occupy the majority of Melbourne Central. Why did I bring a shopping centre into this picture? Well, anyone still remembers the Okonomiyaki they used to serve at…

Pink Ribbon Pasta
Ahhhhh… October, the best month of the year! Ok I’m a little biased because I happen to be an October baby. That aside, many exciting things happen in October: Oktoberfest, Halloween, My birthday (sorry I had to), and of course: Pink October for Breast Cancer awareness. Did you know that 1 in 8 Women will…
Roasted Cauliflower – The Pioneer Woman
The ‘star’ featured this month for Cook Like A Star bloghop is Ree Drummond, more commonly known as The Pioneer Woman. I first come across her blog few years ago when I was only starting to get into cooking and sharing food posts online. The way she narrates her stories, the photographs she takes, and…
Ratatouille Galette
The wonder of browsing random YouTube cooking channels led me to this cool lass, Jen, who makes interesting food. If you don’t know about Just Eat Life yet, please go check out their Youtube Channel. Her recipes are relatively simple and her instructions are fun. What’s not to love? I have been drooling virtually over…
Sarawak Special: Tomato Kueh Tiaw
Happy Malaysia Day! I hope September has been treating you well so far. I’m definitely having a lot of fun! To the point I haven’t even had the chance to do any exciting dishes. So those of you who have come to this blog from “The Star” article, I’m going to do this space justice by…
The Latest Food Craze: Ramen Burger
Unless you have been living under the rock, or don’t use facebook (Who doesn’t? Even Frank got hooked after calling it FaceSuck for how many years…), you must have heard of the latest Food Craze in New York right now: The Ramen Burger. Created by Chef Keizo Shimamoto (who’s a certified ramen addict), the craze…
Perak MFF: Kampar Beef Brisket Noodles
I have a thing for beef noodles soup. I think it’s great that every culture (and in Malaysia’s case, almost every region) have their own take on a beef soup recipe. Needless to say, I have a soft spot for a really good bowl of pho, but since we live in a country with so…
Beef Rendang Penne
Couple of months ago I was the finalist for the Asian Food Channel’s Foodie Cook-Off, and the theme was “Raya Celebration”. Knowing I’m up against some contestants who would have been cooking Raya food all their lives, I didn’t want to go in with traditional Malay dish. Hence I was trying to go for the…
Eggplant Kasundi
Eggplant, or aubergine, or brinjal, has become one of my favourite vegetables over the years. It’s fabulous in any type of cuisine be it Chinese (in spicy garlic sauce, yum!), Greek (Moussaka, my favourite), French (Raaaaatatouille), Japanese (Nasu Dengaku, anyone?), Malay (Sambal eggplant… and more), you name it, there is bound to be a recipe…
Easy Steamed Tofu
This is a question I get asked a lot: “How do you manage your time with so many things on your plate?”. My typical answer would be “Well, I don’t think about it, I just go about finishing my tasks and doing what I have to do to make myself happy.” The second most common…
