This is going to be a nutter of a week for me. 3 gigs in a week (2 on Friday) and the rest is filled with rehearsals and various events. Silly season has well and truly arrived! It’s Pahang month for Malaysia’s Food Fest, hosted by Wendy. Read more about Pahang and its local delicacy…
Responsible Blogging Campaign by Crowdpot and Ninetology [ADV]
Since the popularisation of blogs in the early 2000s, to date almost every Tom, Dick, and Harry (and their cats) owns a blog. There is a plethora of blogs with various contents out there, from personal online diaries to professionally edited multi-author blogs. Unfortunately, among the mixture there are also bloggers who don’t do the…
Amadeus Bistro and Wine Bar: Sunday Roast with Classical Music
I’ve always been a firm believer that Food and Music are perfect partners and are similar in many ways. A specially prepared dish tells a story, just like a piece of music or a song does. When we play with an ingredient, we might cook something with a traditional recipe, like a singer doing a…
Time Out KL Food Awards 2012
I remember blogging about the Time Out KL Food Awards 2011, when I just started this blog. In fact it was my fifth post! How time flies. Last year I was at the awards night as one of the supporters for Sid’s Pubs, and the plus one for Frank. This year, I went there as…
Asia Pastry Forum: Breads with Franck Heuze with Recipe for Foccacia Mediterranean
In my last post, I’ve mentioned the voucher to attend one of the Demonstration classes during Asia Pastry Forum 2012, held at the Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia, as a prize for the Nutriplus Pastry Competition. There were quite a few choices: French Pastries, Entremet, Plated Desserts, Chocolate and Praline, Wedding Cakes and Breads. I…
Think Out of the Shell: The NutriPlus Pastry Competition Final
After the nerve wrecking experience at the Semi Final, I spent the next few days thinking of what to make for the final. In hindsight, I probably should have be more prepared as the theme for the final was announced a week earlier: Tropical Fruits and Nutriplus Eggs. I thought of a Mango Creme Brulee…
Celebrating This Blog’s 1st Birthday with Purple Carrot Cake
First of all… my blog has turned 1!! Yay *throws confetti* Over the year, I’ve written 120 posts including this one, which is more productive than I’ve expected. Needless to say, it has helped me widen my cooking/baking repertoire and opened doors that I didn’t even think of opening. In less than a week’s time,…
This Night Owl Loves Her Eggs
Are you a morning lark, or a night owl? Do you function best in the morning without the aid of caffeine or do you envy the ones who can? Believe it or not, our circadian clock might have something to do with our genes. Some studies (read up here and here) have even suggested the…
The Pinnacle of H-Artistry Event Report etc
The finale of Hennessy Artistry for 2012 has come and gone. Held at MIECC just like last year, there were more than 4000 party people under the same roof. We endured a hellish traffic jam getting there, made worse by the heavy downpour. Despite being urged by the organisors to not drive (they even blocked…
Chili Chat and Jalapeño Poppers
A few weeks ago, we were invited to Frontera Sol de Mexico, a Tex-mex restaurant situated in Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. We’ve actually been to Frontera quite a few times, as I’ve previously performed there with my band. But this time, we had Mr Jesus Luz, a representative of Conservas La Costena in the Asia…
