Cold tofu drenched in red hot chili pepper oil; I could feel the heat just as soon as I had the first bite. A plateful of even more red hot chili pepper with some hidden fried chicken bits. Alluringly tongue-numbing and lips-tingling, my body was working up a sweat. This dish was blatantly addictive and downright incendiary. Finishing off my…
Kuala Lumpur—intimately and commonly known as KL by locals—continues to hold a special place in my heart. For more than 3 years, KL was my home away from home when I attended college there. Walk down thestreets of downtown KL brought back a ton of sweet memories: my favorite food stalls, hang out hotspots, shopping outlets, and other old haunts. Today,…
Hawker food/street food is a big part of Malaysian culture and can be found anywhere in the country. If you are a foreign tourist to KL, don’t miss out Petaling Street and Jalan Alor. A tad touristy, the foods are delectable nonetheless. Here are some pictures snapped at Jalan Alor and Petaling Street during my whirlwind 36 hours in KL….
RANT: OMG, is this what you call broadband high-speed internet access in Malaysia? Streamyx is so pathetic. I totally feel handicapped here without the speed I desire; I am simply frustrated beyond all recognition…GAH! Just came back from a fun filled 36-hour trip in KL.

Tagged by both Flog and Rosbif and Budding Cook, here are five things most people don’t know about me: I do not eat red meat – yep, you hear it right. As a food blogger, how can I not eat red meat? Well, I just don’t (I heard that’s the secret of staying young!). Of course I have tasted red…
Following my Rasa Malaysia Omelet post, I received this picture from Food Marathon. Food Marathon thought my so-called elegant and luxury omelet looks more like a brain. A brain! It is a somewhat disturbing thought, but my mother used to cook her omelet with pig brain. Yes, pig brain!! The Chinese believe in “以形补形” and my mother is a firm…
