		<description><![CDATA[I am partnering with my friends at Wüsthof to giveaway a Wüsthof Classic 7-Inch Chai Dao Knife. There will be one (1) winner whom will receive one (1) Wüsthof Classic 7-Inch Chai Dao Knife. The suggested retail value of the Wüsthof Classic 7-Inch Chai Dao Knife is US$99.95. Inspired by the traditional design of a Chinese Cleaver, which is called a Cai Dao, Wüsthof&#8217;s distinctively shaped Classic 7-inch Chai Dao features a wide blade with a razor-sharp fine edge that curves dramatically upwards as it nears the knife&#8217;s squared-off tip. The blade&#8217;s curvy profile &#8211; which is in sharp contrast to the perfectly straight blade style of the popular, Asian-style Nakiri knife &#8211; allows chefs and home cooks to quickly mince, chop, dice, and slice a myriad of ingredients by employing an effortless &#8220;rocking&#8221; motion on cutting boards. The Classic 7-inch Chai Dao&#8217;s wide blade surface also makes it easier to scrape and carry prepped ingredients from the chopping block to pans, bowls and other vessels. The wider blade also makes the knife an ideal tool for smashing and crushing aromatics, such as garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. While primarily designed for prepping vegetables and fruits, the agile and versatile Classic 7-inch Chai Dao has the power and heft to be able to easily transition from slicing paper-thin shallots to cubing tough cuts of beef. Eligibility: United States only. Closing Date: June 24, 2012, 11:59 pm PST. Winner will be randomly selected and contacted via email on June 25, 2012. The prize is proudly sponsored by Wüsthof. To enter, please follow the steps below. Eligibility: United States only. Step 1 Like Rasa Malaysia on Facebook. (Click on the Like button below.) Step 2 Follow Rasa Malaysia on Twitter.

		<description><![CDATA[I was first introduced to Happy Family during my college days. I was in graduate school, back in the Midwest, and not quite cooking up a storm like I am doing now. So, hitting local Chinese buffets and take-outs was a good place to be for someone like me who misses their Chinese food. It was also then that I got acquainted to all the popular American-Chinese food selections. I was mostly intrigued by the American version of Sweet and Sour Chicken, BBQ Ribs, Crab Rangoon, Egg Drop Soup, to name a few, and among these, Happy Family was one of them. Although spending a whopping US$13 (I was a poor international student then) for a large order of Happy Family with white rice on the side seemed hefty for a college student, my friends and I would usually save up to order a few items and share among ourselves, sometimes enough to last us for 3 days! Being so far from home, Chinese food—albeit the Americanized version—was always our comfort food. I missed home dearly, particularly mom&#8217;s cooking. At the end of the day, mom always made sure we had a balanced meal. A typical family dine-in experience is usually served with dishes consisting of meat, vegetables and seafood of some sort. And that is exactly what the dish Happy Family is! It is a popular Chinese stir-fry dish with colorful vegetables (broccoli, water chestnuts, baby corn, bamboo shoots, mushroom, carrots, etc.), meats (beef, pork/BBQ Pork and chicken) and seafood (shrimp, lobster/crab meat and scallops) cooked in a simple brown sauce. I don&#8217;t think I have ever encountered any dish quite like Happy Family. It&#8217;s a great one-pot meal filled with goodness and taste! In my book, Happy Family is one of those delicious guilt-free happy meals that symbolizes...<br /><br /><div><img src="http://rasamalaysia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/happy-family-hp.jpg"/></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My family and I live in a pretty new home — a corner unit townhouse in the master-planned, suburban city of Irvine. It was a brand new home when we moved in at 2005. The house smelled like a new born baby, the fresh paint was spotless, the carpet was soft and plushy, and the kitchen was equipped with new standard appliances (no upgrades). Everything was almost perfect. Seven years later, with an enterprising home business (read: the Rasa Malaysia blog plus a cookbook), the house needed a makeover, or more adequately, my kitchen needed a makeover. What they say is right — most equipment needs maintenance, fine-tuning, or replacement after 5 years of heavy usage. I was no longer happy with my kitchen. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it was still completely functional and efficient, but I was no longer satisfied with the performance of the appliances that I use heavily on a daily basis. The range no longer lived up to my expectations: thick and stubborn grease was filling up the vent, the paint work around the range was chipping off, the heat output was no longer ideal, and the oven delivers uneven roasts. My dishwasher also caused a couple of minor flooding incidents in the sink area. Since we are not moving to a new and bigger house anytime soon, I decided to have a kitchen makeover this spring, and replace my gas range and the dishwasher. It must have been my lucky star, but a casual email with my contact at KitchenAid earlier this year had pretty much changed my entire kitchen makeover plan. To support and enhance my cooking, baking and blogging experiences, KitchenAid would provide and install its major appliances to my home. I was thrilled beyond words when they told me that they would...<br /><br /><div><img src="/images/homepage/kitchen_hp.JPG"/></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer is almost here. In fact, in Southern California, I think summer is already here as the sky is blue and the sun has been coming out to play. I absolutely love summer. Summer time is my favorite time of year as the warmth of the sun embraces my body as I say goodbye to pasty skin, frumpy winter clothing, and greet a big hello to sandals and sun dresses! Summer also means party time: barbeque by the pool, picnics by the sea, road trips up and down the California coast, and eating (and drinking) with friends. Summer is pure bliss and happiness! This year, I plan to share a series of fun, delicious, yet simple summer recipes with you. I have a brand new KitchenAid grill sitting in my patio so I can foresee a lot of casual al fresco dining this summer. To kick start the series (I know it&#8217;s not officially summer yet, but I just can&#8217;t wait), I made this utterly delightful beer steamed mussels that transports me back to south of France. This dish is very similar to Moules Marinière, which is made with white wine but I find beer to be a great (and much convenient) substitute. The slight bitterness of the beer is offset by the briny sweet taste of fresh mussels and the end result is a mussel pot that you can serve throughout summer. Enjoy!

		<description><![CDATA[I meet a lot of interesting friends from my blog, especially my friends who live in Irvine, Orange County. Recently, I connected with Reem of Simply Reem.  After many email exchanges, I finally met her in person. Reem is so sweet; she came to support my cooking demo at Macy&#8217;s and bought me a nice bouquet of flower. Simply Reem is a blog about cooking, home/garden and more. I simply adore Reem&#8217;s homey recipes on Indian cuisine. Today, she teaches us how to make Indian chicken curry with dried roasted spices, a family recipe that she learned from her mother. Enjoy and don&#8217;t forget to check out Simply Reem. I want to start by thanking Bee for giving me opportunity to share my recipe on Rasa Malaysia. Rasa Malaysia is an excellent blog which brought Asian food and cooking to a new platform. I have been a sincere follower and fan of Bee and her beautiful space even before I started my blog. Every craving of Asian food from Noodles to Laksa bought me here, a place where I could find it all and learn. It is truly an honor for me to be here today. Thanks Bee!! For me there are few things as reassuring as a bowl of hot steamy curry dish with some rice or bread. I remember no dinner in my parents home was complete without a curry dish; it always faithfully made its way to the dinner table in some form or the other. Every season has its own version of curry dishes to be enjoyed with your family and friends. Even though curries are a part of me but for a very long time I feared making one of my own. It wasn’t so much the procedure or precision that kept me from simmering...<br /><br /><div><img src="/images/homepage/indianchickencurry_slide.jpg"/></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Chef Robert Danhi and I share a lot of things in common, so it&#8217;s no surprise that we hit it off as soon as we connected on Twitter a few years ago. Describing himself as a &#8220;hard-boiled egg&#8221;—white on the outside but yellow inside—Robert embraces everything Asian when it comes to cooking, eating, and traveling. Every year, Robert spends months in Southeast Asia&#8230;trekking from one street food stall or home kitchen to the next, learning about local cooking. His passion for Southeast Asian cooking is feverish, and his love for countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia is nothing I have seen&#8230;the end result from his extensive research and traveling in the region for over 20 years. We share the same interests and always have so much fun chatting on the phone, meeting in person and eating through the streets of George Town, Penang. I adore him for his deep knowledge about Southeast Asian cuisines, his fervent enthusiasm and dedication to learn more, and his cultural immersions in the exotic far east. He is a champion. Needless to say, I was extremely thrilled about Robert&#8217;s new cookbook Easy Thai Cooking, released just weeks ago. The cover of the cookbook features a mouthwatering serving of Thai Shrimp Cake, which practically screams &#8220;eat me eat me&#8221; the moment I had the book in my hand. Robert Danhi&#8217;s Easy Thai Cooking features 75 delicious Thai recipes that you can prepare any day of the week. As a James Beard nominee and CIA trained chef, the cookbook offers expert guidance on acquiring and maintaining a well-stocked Thai pantry.

		<description><![CDATA[It is undeniable that Chinese Honey Chicken and the American chicken nuggets with honey dipping sauce have one thing in common. It is popular, makes a great finger food and can easily please everyone of all ages, even the most picky eaters, like kids. So, how do you like yours? A drive-thru, buying them frozen from the store, visit your favorite Chinese restaurant, or make it at home with a great and easy recipe? The answer is simple. Make the Chinese Honey Chicken with my easy recipe! Just like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Orange Chicken, General Tso&#8217;s Chicken and other well known Chinese-American favorites, Chinese Honey Chicken is no different.  The recipe is fairly simple using chicken bites, fried, and lightly coated in a sweet honey glaze and garnished with toasted sesame seeds. The essential ingredient to an awesome Chinese Honey Chicken is the texture from the fried batter and the flavoring of the sauce. Up to now, I&#8217;m surprised as to why Chinese Honey Chicken is hardly available on any regular Chinese takeout menus. However, Chinese Honey Chicken has indeed gained quite a name, especially at the local Chinese buffet restaurants here in the United States. And when I do go visit one, this is usually one of my favorite picks. Well, I&#8217;m a big kid at heart, who, occasionally loves her finger licking good Chinese Honey Chicken. So, what is your favorite food at the Chinese buffet?
