It’s no secret that I dine frequently at Sid’s Pubs, having a partner working for this chain is one of the reason, the pork burger is another (with cheese and egg, always). But mostly, our friends love the pubs too and we have our frequent ‘mabuk sessions’ there. Of course, this place holds a special…
Make Your Own Cranberry Sauce
Wow, December sure is a hectic month! I’ve been running around like a headless chook (or turkey, to be festive) getting Xmas shopping done. Today alone, we’ve visited three shopping centres in total. One to pick up some gifts, one for groceries, last one for items that the other supermarket didn’t have. And our fridge…
A Pizza heaven
Prior to meeting me, Frank had a typical bachelor diet consisting of beer and pizzas, with Domino’s number on speed dial. Fortunately these days, although not yet a fine example of perfect diet, he has kicked the long term pizza habit but from time to time would request for it. And most of the time…
Jerk Chicken: Because it never calls!
Sometimes I cook dishes that I’ve never tried before. By that I mean in a restaurant or food outlet. I’m easily intrigued by interesting recipes and would just made the dishes without knowing what it SHOULD taste like. Nevertheless with cross checking of different recipes you’ll usually get a pretty good idea of what it…
Childhood Favourite: Fried Lao Shu Fen (Silver Needle Noodles)

Ben’s Pavilion Kuala Lumpur: Best New Restaurant of the Year?
Frank and I have regular date nights. While it’s lovely to savour a home cooked meal then curl up on the couch together enjoying one of the movies from his ginormous collection, it’s also important for us to occasionally dine out, do some window shopping, soak in the busy city atmosphere etc etc. Seeing that…
Sarawak Laksa
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…
