I haven’t had guest bloggers on Rasa Malaysia for a while, and am very happy to have Trissa of Trissalicious as a guest writer today. Trissa is one of my recipe testers and certainly one of the most trusted ones (thanks so much for your help!). Her passion in food can be seen on her gorgeous food blog Trissalicious. In this post, Trissa shares a classic Filipino recipe—Shrimp Sinigang. I have always wanted to learn more about Filipino cuisine, and Shrimp Sinigang is very high on my list.

Spicy Chicken with Cashew Nuts

I love Thai food. Come to think about it, a lot of Thai recipes that I like are basically Chinese in origin, with local influences, which add an exciting layer of taste structure to the originals.

To prep me for the writing part of my cookbook, I have read and researched many Chinese cookbooks in the past few months. One of my recent…

Fried Cuttlefish Balls (炸墨鱼丸)

Don’t you just love eating foods that remind you of your childhood, or when you were younger? Foods that practically transport you to a different era when things were a lot less complicated and life were much simpler, and perhaps happier?
I am a junk food junkie and I love all sorts of snacks, especially if they are in skewers. Fried…

The Everything Rice Cooker Cookbook

When I first started blogging on Rasa Malaysia 4+ years ago, there weren’t that many food bloggers back then, and Hui Leng Tay (AKA Tigerfish) of Teczcape: An Escape to Food is one of my very first blogging friends. We have become good friends over the years, even though we have only met once.
I am very happy to announce that…

Mie Goreng (Indonesian Fried Noodles)

I have been so busy recently I can hardly find any time to have a breather. If you’ve been following my blog and Twitter, you will know that working on my cookbook has pretty much consumed all my time. As a result, I have been eating out more, and cook only when time permits.
In the past, I would always attempt to…
