This is the last of my photoblog series for Beijing, China. With this set of 35 pictures, I will take you on a virtual tour to Beijing: The Temple of Heaven (天坛), the narrow alleys of hutong (胡同), Bell and Drum Towers (钟楼鼓楼), and more. Buckle your seat belt and let’s go…
I had a great time in Beijing this time and here are a small subset of the scrumptious food I had while I was there. I went back to Paper again (this time to my disappointment as the set dinner was almost the same with only a few new dishes and the portion had gotten smaller), sampled some fantastic regional cuisines…
I know you are probably more interested in the foods I had in Beijing, but I wanted to share some people photography I took in Beijing first. I love shooting photos of local people when I travel–be it an old man sitting by a narrow alley in hutong, local vendors busy with their daily lives, or a dog whose home…

The actual size of this mini shitake mushroom is a small fraction of the normal ones;…
Juicy, thin skin, crunchy, and very fragrant. No wonder they are called “Fragrant Pear.”
I am slow when it comes to tracking incoming links to Rasa Malaysia so it came as a very pleasant surprise when I realized that Serious Eat featured my Nobu-inspiredBlack Cod with Miso as “Required Eating.” WOW, that’s nice! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind editor at Serious Eat for spotlighting my creation and your…
I have been missing in action for a few days, you wonder why? I got my new gear–the spanking new and sparkling silver Canon Digital Rebel XT (gasp!)–and have been busy playing with it. I have always wanted a better camera since I started this blog so this new toy actually means a lot to me. Well, first of all,…
I was tagged by Da Wheel of Life and Happiness about 5 Wishes, 5 Questions, and 5 Reasons. I guess it’s time Rasa Malaysia readers know more about me… 5 Wishes This Year: I wish to visit more Unesco World Heritage sites this year; for example: Hoi An in Vietnam, Lijiang in Yunnan, China, and Luang Prabang in Laos. I…
