I’m loving my new Philips Airfryer! Even though I don’t have a problem taking my time with cooking most of the time. It’s still great to have amazing gadgets like these to help enhance my kitchen experience. Especially now that I am increasingly time poor. The very first recipe I tried using this machine was…
Mediteca, Fraser Place: New Menu
There are only a few Italian/Mediterranean restaurants that I would happily return to, and Mediteca is one of them. The last time I was there, I only got to sample a small fraction of their menu, so I was elated to receive an invitation to enjoy their new menu items. It’s always heartening to see…
AFF Indochina: Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Sizzling Crepes)
My final recipe for AFF Indochina happens to be a popular one as we have already seen a few submissions of this delectable treat: Banh Xeo. This is another dish I’ve never actually tried in a Vietnamese restaurant but now I think I have fallen in love with it! Banh Xeo literally means “sizzling cake”…
Ramadhan Buffet at Essence, Sheraton Imperial KL
The second Ramadhan Buffet we sampled was none other than Essence, Sheraton Imperial. This wasn’t my first time at Essence and in fact I was pretty happy with my previous visit several months ago. Apart from the usual offerings, Chef Faizal and his team has put together a special buka puasa menu with an exiciting…
Ramadhan Buffet @ Latest Recipe, Le Meridien KL
Where has the time gone? One blink of eye and it’s only 2 days to the start of Ramadhan. I had the pleasure to attend 2 Ramadhan buffet previews this year and coincidentally both belonged to my favourite hotel group: Starwood. The first one was Latest Recipe @ Le Meridien, and that would be our…
US Potato Culinary Challenge
You say Po-tay-to… I say Po-tah-to? Well last week we definitely went all potatoed-out for the US Potato Culinary Challenge and I feel very honoured to be invited as a blogger judge for this very special event. The US Potato Board (USPB) has partnered with the Culinary Association of Malaysia (CAM) to launch the challenge…
AFF Indochina: Trop Ang Chia Mui Trey ( Grilled Eggplant and Scallops)
It’s already half way through the Indochina month and I’m loving all the submissions so far, although it seems a little slow. Most of the dishes from these countries are pretty easy to make, so if you have time do try cooking some of them and submit to me! My third recipe for this month…
AFF Indochina: Ping Kai (Laotian Roast Chicken)
My second contribution to AFF Indochina is a Laotian recipe: Ping Kai. It’s also called Kai Yang in Thailand but essentially the recipe is brought over to Thailand by the Lao people too. This is a very popular street food you can find pretty much anywhere locally, often paired with the tam mak hoong (Lao…
AFF Indochina: Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew)
I haven’t been cooking much lately, because for some reason I have completely lost my appetite. Isn’t that the biggest irony for a food enthusiast? Coupled with my busy schedule in May, I have actually lost a bit of weight too because of this. But I did have a few dishes I have to prepare…
Sony Alpha 5000 Review (ADV)
After the blogger preview tea party at the Carcosa Seri Negara, we each get to keep the Sony Alpha 5000 temporarily to test out in our daily life. And in the past couple of weeks, I’ve brought the camera with me everywhere I go. It happened to be a rather hectic period so I guess…
