Ahh! I’m on a Sarawak food cooking spree! Unintentionally though, only because my mother brought in some goodies recently. And one of those, was the Sarawak Laksa Paste. Rejoice! Mum’s the best! Sarawak Laksa would probably be the second most named dishes when you mention the Hornbill state. Of course, I could be biased. And…
Home away from home: Kampua Mee 干盘面
Most people who has heard of Sarawak dishes can think of a few: Sarawak Laksa, Tomato Kueh Tiaw and of course Kolok mee, often being referred as the signature noodle dish of Sarawak. Kampua mee is less well-known variety, but pretty much synonymous with the Foochows, just like Kolok mee is to the Kuchingnites, or Wanton…
My first experience of cooking in public: Merry Guinness Media Launch
No, this is not a reality TV series where I was the contestant nor have I acquired a cooking show (although wouldn’t that be just awesome?), Masterchef Adam Liaw hosted the Merry Guinness Media Launch at the Doubletree, Hilton on Wednesday night and this was as part of his cooking demonstration. Those who know me personally…
Lazy Chicken Rice with Momofuku’s Ginger Scallion Sauce
Momofuku (literally translated as Lucky Peach in Japanese). What a name! I’ve heard of this David Chang‘s chain of restaurants but unfortunately can’t go all the way to the states to taste! Bless the food bloggers that has been sharing his recipes, people like me get to recreate the dishes and enjoy them. One of the…
Time Out KL Food Awards 2011: How it went down
Let’s take a little break from the recipes posts and talk about the TOKL Food Awards Celebration Party, held on the 23rd Nov, at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC). Ah… if not the place that holds special memories for me as I’ve done my first mini musical there while participating in the Short…
Here’s the beef!
Last week I had a little pot luck get together with my friends David and his gf Siew Li. Yes. This was pre-detox and also mainly why we decided to go vegan. There was no specific theme but Frank requested for beef (about the only animal he would consume, really) and I wanted to make…
Korean Sweet Potato Noodles Stir Fry (Chap Chae)
Whoa… totally partied out after last night’s Time Out KL Food Award Ceremony. Will blog about it in due time but before then I still have a few recipes to share. I suppose coming back from a long hiatus means an abundance of long overdue food posts but I promise to keep it fresh nonetheless….
Nigella Lawson does healthy!! Who would have known?
I have a bad habit whenever I’m on a detox (term being used loosely here, don’t ask): I browse food blogs and recipes more often during this time. Not sure if it’s to torture myself or just a subconscious thing. Nevertheless, it has landed me some gems, recipes that I would use over and over…
Vegan Tacos
Mexican cuisine always strikes me as colourful, full of flavours and fun. It’s probably one of the easiest to be made vegan too. Although most of the so-called Mexican restaurants outside of Mexico are actually Tex-mex (wikipedia told me that cheddar cheese is not actually used in Mexican cuisine, I’ve learnt something new!), it still…
New Beginning
It sure has been a long time since I’ve last blogged. So much has changed and I don’t even know where to start! In short, I’ve done a career change from Psychiatry to freelance musician, I have also moved country, from Melbourne, Australia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Home country but alas not my hometown. Those…
