If you were wondering where I’ve disappeared to for the past week, don’t worry I haven’t been abducted by aliens for funky experiments. It was just a crazy busy week. Blogging will resume normally this week after this small summary about what I’ve been up to recently. Last Sunday we were invited to the final…
La Boca Latino Bar @ Pavilion KL
Been down with pretty terrible headaches this weekend due to the crazy hot weather. I’d do the rain dance but that would just set my nausea off too. So if you are reading this, do have a word with the Rain God about this KL weather, k? I’ve been guzzling water like I’ve been stuck…
Of Chap Goh Meh Dinner and Winners
Hands up who’s on a detox diet now after all that Chinese New Year Celebration? *Raise hand* Well, I did have a Toffee Date Pudding at Ben’s today so that was a little naughty of me. But before I embark on an all fruits and vegetables diet (let’s see how long that will last), let’s…
Jalapeño Cheese Cornbread
Feeling extra lethargic lately and wondering why the time goes by so quickly. Then I realised that this week I’ve gigged Monday, Friday and made a little guest appearance on Wednesday at another show. No wonder I’m sitting here dazed, after my long rehearsal in the afternoon with my boys. I’m not sure if this…
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,…
Ippudo Ramen at Pavilion KL
Happy Birthday Everyone! Today is the 7th day of Chinese New Year, also known as “Ren Ri” 人日 (Literally means Human Day). This was the day Human beings were created according to Chinese customs, and the Malaysians and Singaporeans celebrate this day with Yee Sang. I won’t be doing much eating today though after countless…
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…
Giving Thanks + MIVVA Box
Taking a pause from all the cooking/eating posts and I’d like to talk about a few things tonight before the year of the Dragon draws to a close. Had our very healthy reunion dinner tonight (including a revamped version of Yee Sang), will blog about it in the next day or two. 2013 has been…
Lemony Almond Cookies
Wow, can you believe it’s only 2 more days til Chinese (Lunar) New Year? I’ve been seeing so many Chinese New Year related recipes posted on blogs and facebook and it’s been such a temptation! After going through hundreds of recipes, I’ve decided I’d be making Almond Cookies this year. Because I simply love Almond…
MHB Lousang Dinner at The Royal Flush, Oasis Square
Following the success of not one, not two, but three Tom, Dick and Harry’s Pubs, Hoofed, Ali Muthu & Ah Hock; the 3 baldies (as we call them so affectionately) have done it again! Royal Flush is a brand new Chinese restaurant added to their impressive CVs and boy, did they go all out this…
