The Ramen craze has well and truly arrived in Kuala Lumpur. Over the last few months, quite a few Ramen joints sprouted, including the infamous Menya Musashi in One Utama (as well as Gantetsu), Hokkaido Santouka in Pavilion and many more. What’s not to love? We are after all a Noodle nation. I’m sure some…
Let’s Meet Up at Al-Amar Express
I could probably eat Lebanese food everyday. Then again, it’s probably not a bad thing. Lebanese cuisine is quite healthy as it usually involves a lot of fresh and raw vegetables, whole grains, lean animal proteins, and often simply seasoned with lemon, olive oil, garlic and some of my favourite spices. The cooking methods usually…
Foochow Cuisine: Zao Cai Fen Gan (糟菜粉干)
As I’ve blogged about Bak Chor Mee which represents half of my heritage (Teochew), it’s only apt that I balance it up with the other half today: Something Foochow. Which is really a subcategory of the entire Fujian (Hokkien) cuisine. There really isn’t much information available on the interweb about Foochow food, but I’m sure…
The Klutz Queen and Bak Chor Mee
This week has been a little bit of a down time for me. Granted, few days of rest following a hectic weekend (2 long gigs over the weekend) is quite therapeutic, if it wasn’t for a fall on Wednesday night which landed me a busted right knee. Kelly and slippery floor don’t bond very well…
Broccoli and Cauliflower Fritters
I remember there was a period corn fritters were all the ‘craze’ for brunch options. Suddenly all the cafes in Melbourne started churning out their own takes. That might have been why these delicious morsels sneaked in my weekend repertoire and so far has been the go-to dish when I don’t know what else to…
Tonkatsu Curry
I’ve just realised that I’ve never posted any Japanese recipes on this blog despite it being one of my favourite cuisines. Since this is the first time, I might as well start with my favourite dish. When I was a student in Melbourne I’d have a Katsudon or Katsu Curry Don almost every couple of…
Shakshouka: The Breakfast of Champions
It’s not the first time I’ve proclaimed my love for eggs here. This blog should be called Kelly Siew Loves Eggs. Or something like that. I’m not very imaginative when it comes to names. And when it comes to egg dishes, Shakshouka would probably be top the list, excelling both the aesthetic department, and taste….
Lebanese Dining at Al-Amar, Pavilion KL
Frank and I celebrated our 2 years anniversary just over the weekend. You know one thing about being a Libra? It takes a long time for me to decide where to go for dinner. And that’s not all. Frank is also a Libra. Our conversation went like this: Frank: “What do you feel like eating?”…
Prawns in Blankets
A while ago we had an impromptu BBQ party at a friend’s. Initially the idea was to make ‘tons of Buffalo Wings’ and plonk ourselves in front of the TV for movie marathon. But the idea soon transformed because we ‘discovered’ a rather unloved BBQ nestling at Ralph’s balcony. And with that, several other dishes…
Luscious Potato Gratin with Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Bleu Cheese.
Having a partner in the pub business means that often our meal times could be quite unpredictable. More so for him as I’m usually the one waiting for him to get off work. Sometimes, he’d fend for himself. More often than not, he’d come home with a massive appetite and hunger. Which means sometimes I…
