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…

Kar Heong Restaurant and Few Announcements etc.

Firstly, I’d like to draw your attention to a local movie which has just opened over the weekend: Kepong Gangster 《甲洞》 (click on link to find out what the movie is all about). Several months ago I was invited to play an extra on the movie. It was a mere 20 seconds or so footage, but still…

Make and Eat Tau Huay Day

Many food bloggers in Singapore have been rather upset over the Dîner en Blanc fiasco (the dust has since settled following an apology from the organiser). Do read here, here and here for the background. Even though I don’t live in Singapore, I thought I’d join in to make my very own Tau Huay (Tau Fu Fa)….

You Make Me Go Loco! – TOKL Food Awards 2012 Blogger’s Choice

It’s common knowledge that sometimes customer service is not high on the agenda for many F&B outlets here. A friend of mine once said ‘If you walk into a restaurant and the staff notices you, you should be happy. And if you get your menu within 5 minutes, it’s a miracle!” Granted, not all restaurants…

Strawberry-Lemon Whoopie Pies

Well, what do you know…. the little hint of itchy throat (or sandy, as previously mentioned) has now turned into a full blown tonsilitis. Just grand. I might have to turn up for my rehearsal tomorrow wearing a mask, quite unlike the inconsiderate unknown person who’s passed his/her germs to me. mmm-hmmph. Not happy, Jan….

Ain’t no Hollaback girl, this sh*t is BANANAS!

I realised that the title has made my post not so family-friendly but who are we kidding really? You’d need to censor the whole internet for the kids to not learn any colourful language. The song is all I can think of while I was trying to type this post up. I might have been…

Beef Rendang with Modified Lemang

Another long weekend has come to an end for the Malaysians and I trust that you have enjoyed the Raya celebrations, or for the non-Muslims, enjoyed holidays. I don’t have any close Malay friends in KL, so my Raya celebration involved a lot of cooking and spending time with half my family, namely my mother…

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…

Waku Waku

Waku Waku (apparently means Tremble in Japanese, can anyone clarify?) is another newish Japanese restaurant situated in Midvalley Megamall. This restaurant has been on my radar after seeing Sean‘s blog about their Nasi Lemak Jepun. Altering a traditional recipe can be risky but I applaud them for giving it a go. Though I think my…
