It’s yet another Saturday! There are so many events on today in the Klang Valley. MTV World Stage (not going because I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber, enough said), Bon Odori, Clinique Beach Party and TEDxKL. Yet I’m staying at home with a mild food poisoning from unknown source. I suspect it’s from the…
Got a hangover? Try the Baked Eggs
Whoa! Last night’s Heineken New Bottle Launch party was one hell of a night. Personally I’m more of a wine addict drinker (lower calories, better taste) but I got carried away with the beer. A new bottle kept being handed to me before I finish the one before. And to think I’m supposed to be on…
Of Weekends and Cauliflower and Mushroom Mac N Cheese
Did you have a good weekend? I sure did! Weekends are always eventful for me as I gig almost every Friday and Saturday. Best thing about performing in a bar/restaurant setting is that I often catch up with my friends at the same time. It’s great doing what you love as a ‘job’. And Sundays?…
Cha Soba
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…
Vanilla Quinoa “Rice” Pudding
So it’s a rainy and somewhat cold morning and I woke up way too early. I suspect it’s to do with the pain in my hip. That’s right, I had yet another fall. Somebody please childproof this apartment! Sleep deprived, and wanting something soft and creamy, I’ve come up with a “Rice Pudding” except with…
Blog awards and random facts about myself
Here’s a non-food post for the start of the month. Can you believe it’s already the second half of the year?! I just hope that I’ll be able to achieve my goals by the time 2012 slips through my fingers. Ames @ A Melbourne Girl at Heart has kindly nominated me for a lovely blog award….
Mahalabia – Middle Eastern Dessert (Guest Post)
This is a guest post from my sister Yiew Lee, all the way from Kingston, South Australia. She’s a pharmacist by trade (and yes, we are a typical Asian family) and she shares the same cooking passion with me. However she is blessed with a sweet tooth and tends to make more desserts than Your…
Smashed Avocado and Feta on Toast
Ahh…. I don’t eat avocados enough. It’s mainly because the avocados here are all imported and can get quite expensive. (RM5.99 for one in Village grocer!) But from time to time I do get cravings for this incredibly creamy and delicious fruit. So when the craving strikes I just have to close my eyes and pick one…
GoMakan.com Launch at Club Neverland
GoMakan.com, the newest local food directory for Klang Valley has just celebrated their launch at Club Neverland and I was invited by Poesy Liang to witness the launch last Friday. At a club, you say? Yes! With food stalls, unlimited booze (Carlsberg and some bubbly towards the end of the party), games, lucky draw and…
My biggest project yet: Bak Zhang
The Duanwu Festival, also called Dragon Boat festival is upon us again. I have told myself year after year to learn the art of wrapping bak zhang (Zongzi). However, due to the distance from our very own Bak Zhang master, my Grandma (and perhaps my laziness), I was reluctant to attempt this without some form…
