Phew…. another crazy week has gone by and can’t believe this is already the end of August! Today is also Malaysia’s Independence Day and I basically spent the whole day recuperating in bed. Well, and cook, of course. And since this is the last day for the Taiwan leg of Asian Food Fest, I better…

MFF KL Selangor: Fish Head (Fillet) Noodles
Sunday afternoon, alone at home, knackered from all the exciting activities all week (catering for 50 pax is probably something I will think harder before committing next time), what better than a soothing bowl of noodles with soup? That was my lunch today and it sure hit all the right spots. This is something that…
Penang MFF: Char Kueh Tiaw
I have only been to Penang a handful of times and all I remember (with the exception of most recently trip when we just went in and out for a gig) was how much I ate each time. But I’ll say my very first trip there back in 2009 was the most “filling”. Here are…
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…
Bintulu/Sibu Trip and Giveaway!
Last week we did a whirlwind trip to Bintulu and Sibu, because we were to celebrate my paternal grandma’s 80th birthday in Sibu. For clarification purposes, I come from a mixed Foochow (paternal) and Teochew (Maternal) heritage. Most of my Foochow relatives reside in Sibu, and Teochew relatives pretty much everywhere (Bintulu, Miri, Kuala Lumpur,…
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…
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,…
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…
Teochew Style Steamed Halibut
Hello!! I’m back from Melbourne and it was a whirlwind trip! Rehearsals, catch ups, filming, studio recording and managed to sneak a few glasses of wine in between. Needless to say, I ate tons of food (which will be blogged about in due time). To those who complain about the miserable cold weather, you might…
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…
