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…
Saturday Brunch at Mediteca, Fraser Place
If you think Mediteca sounds familiar, it’s because it’s managed by the Island Group Hospitality company which has once managed the Nero Group restaurants. Medi stands for Meditarranean, so you’ll expect various Southern European cuisine, and best still, the whole menu is dotted with porky delights. That’s right, they have only recently relaunched the menu…
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…
The Search for the Stella Artois World Draught Master 2013
Every year, bartenders all over the world battle it out to see who can pour the best pint of Stella Artois, covering the 9 crucial steps for a perfect pour. To be honest I have never realised the amount of details going into serving punters “She Is The Thing of Beauty”- a perfect Chalice of…
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…
Moon Kee (Section 17) Fishhead and Seafood Noodles
Ahhh… Fish Head Noodles again! You’d think I’d be sick of it by now having cooked the same dish several times for the last couple of weeks just so I can share a good recipe with you. I don’t even remember the last time I’ve actually visited a “Kopitiam” for Fish Head Noodles, but when…
Bacon and Mushroom Mini Quiches
My love for pastry can be tracked all the way back to my Uni days (that sure seems really long ago now…. almost 6 years!). I love all kinds: sweet/savoury tarts, pies, curry puffs, croissants. And it didn’t take me long to start making my own tarts and pies. But back in the days, I…
MIVVA Beauty Box July Edition
Before I get to the review of July’s MIVVA Beauty Box (terribly delayed, I know), I just need to make a huge annoucement. I know that I generally don’t advertise the music stuff here but this is too exciting not to share. My first collaboration with 2 International Trance Producers (produced by Mehrad of Iranian…
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…
