Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) is back with an interesting theme “Cool Chefs – Cooking with attitude”. Having missed out on the Taste MIGF due to work commitment, naturally I was excited to receive an invitation to try the MIGF menu at Nook, joining the festival for the very first time. This menu is extra…

Hosting with PlateCulture: My Very Own Supper Club!
Picture this: One fine day, I’m consulting patients in my private clinic. After the last patient has left, I drove to my own restaurant where I’ll watch over my team of fabulous Chefs putting together beautiful dishes and if I feel like it, I put on the apron and make a few dishes too. When…
Sarawak Laksa with Salmon
So the General Election has finally drawn to a close. Most Malaysians would have been glued to the social media sites/TV/Radio following the poll counting and some have been feeling disappointed with how it all unfolded. Regardless of the outcomes, don’t despair. I have a song for you. Never give up. Just gotta keep trying….
Ang Jiu (Foochow Red Wine) Chicken Soup with Mee Sua
A break from the fishy posts (though I’m glad you like the recipes) and here I present the ultimate comfort food: Chicken Soup. Not just your regular Chicken boiled with ginger and mushrooms, but with homemade Foochow Red Wine. That’s right, the bright hue might be a little confronting but most Sarawakians (or Sitiawan foochows)…
Sarawak MFF: Kacangma (Motherwort) Chicken / Arthur’s day Celebration at Sid’s Pub.
The social scene in KL has been rather busy lately. Of course, in the midst of all the Pre-arthur’s day celebrations, and several launches of new outlets, the Oktoberfest and Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) are both about to take off as well. It’s no wonder we are swamped with events to attend for the…
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….
Sarawak MFF: Stir-fried Manicai with Eggs
I’d like to thank Wendy from Table for 2 or more for organising the Malaysia Food Fest. It’s such a meaningful exercise for us to get to know the unique dishes from each state of our country. And best still, I get to share some of the dishes I’ve grown up eating. Which is why…
Foochow Braised Fried Noodles (Chao Zhu Mian)
This is another dish that I grew up eating in Bintulu, Sarawak. I remember having them in school canteens. Now and then when I go back to Bintulu I’d order one… well, after I had my Kampua mee and Sarawak Laksa of course. I was in Bintulu for a few days back in March this…
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…
