There are times I fire up the laptop and open up WordPress but stares at it for hours without knowing what to write. Similarly, there are days, though not often, I’d stare at my pantry not knowing what to cook. I’m blaming the weather (the weather gets a lot of blaming from me I must…

Ratatouille with Quinoa
Many of us have come to know this adorable sounding dish Ratatouille from the hugely successful Pixar animation movie of the namesake. The cooking rat has indeed captured the hearts of many. I bet the sales of eggplants, red capsicums and zucchini went sky high following the release of the movie. And I am guilty…
Curried Carrot Soup for a Rainy day, or Anytime really.
Living in a tropical country means we have to endure the same hot and humid weather all year round. The only saving grace is, of course, the rain. Having said that it’s only nice if you are indoors and planning to stay that way for a little while because KL turns into a massive car…
Okra and Chickpea Tagine
Okra, or better known as Ladies’ Fingers in Malaysia, is a very underrated vegetable. In Malaysia you’ll see it being used in Yong Tau Foo. They are also often added to Fish Head Curries. Growing up in my household, Okra is simply stir fry with garlic and still remains one of my favourite way of…
Claypot Tofu with Vegetables
It’s been nearly a week on the Vegetarian diet and so far so good! I’m a little obsessive and have been spending a lot of time typing up and revising my ‘diet plan’. I’ll let you have a look at it. By the way, I got the date of Chap Goh Meh* wrong so ignore…
Korean Sweet Potato Noodles Stir Fry (Chap Chae)
Whoa… totally partied out after last night’s Time Out KL Food Award Ceremony. Will blog about it in due time but before then I still have a few recipes to share. I suppose coming back from a long hiatus means an abundance of long overdue food posts but I promise to keep it fresh nonetheless….
Nigella Lawson does healthy!! Who would have known?
I have a bad habit whenever I’m on a detox (term being used loosely here, don’t ask): I browse food blogs and recipes more often during this time. Not sure if it’s to torture myself or just a subconscious thing. Nevertheless, it has landed me some gems, recipes that I would use over and over…
Vegan Tacos
Mexican cuisine always strikes me as colourful, full of flavours and fun. It’s probably one of the easiest to be made vegan too. Although most of the so-called Mexican restaurants outside of Mexico are actually Tex-mex (wikipedia told me that cheddar cheese is not actually used in Mexican cuisine, I’ve learnt something new!), it still…
New Beginning
It sure has been a long time since I’ve last blogged. So much has changed and I don’t even know where to start! In short, I’ve done a career change from Psychiatry to freelance musician, I have also moved country, from Melbourne, Australia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Home country but alas not my hometown. Those…
