Thanks to my friend EC, I was featured in a full-page interview on Kwong Wah (光华日报), the oldest and one of the largest Chinese newspapers in Malaysia. Founded in Penang, Kwong Wah is the newspaper that I read growing up so it’s an honor to be profiled in the “非常人物” (loosely translate to “Outstanding People”) column.
I was actually going to post a translated version but Google translate is simply absurd, hilarious, and makes no sense. It also does no justice to this beautifully and eloquently written Chinese article. Other than talking about Rasa Malaysia, I also touched on culinary tourism and urged Malaysian Tourism Board and state agencies to continue to invest in promoting Malaysia as a culinary tourism destination. Only through careful preservation and cultivation that the colorful and authentic cuisines and food traditions of Malaysia will thrive and live on…
If you read Chinese, please hop over here to read the complete online article. My fellow Penang food blogger CK Lam was also featured. Thank you!

Hi RM
Many congratulations!
I am new to cooking and your site but have already tried at least half a dozen of the recipes! All are well received by my hubby and 2 kids. I endeavor to try each of them at least during this period when we are relocated.
Oh yes, hubby says thanks. He loves the Cashew Chicken most so far. And for the girls, it has to be the tarts!
Blissful Cadence – thanks for your comment. Great to hear that your family enjoy my recipes. Do let me know what other dishes you try.
Hey Daniel – awww, you are so nice and thanks for spreading the good word about Rasa Malaysia. What did you make? Let me know. Send me an email.
Congratulations 美荫! I was also born in Malaysia (but in Melaka), and moved to San Diego to be with my husband. It’s been almost impossible to find Malaysian food here, and I’m definitely a keen follower of your website. Keep up the great job!
Ping – thanks. I know what you mean. I think you should be able to get most of the ingredients in San Diego’s Asian grocery stores. Thanks for reading and trying my recipies.
wow !! Have been secretly diving in your blog for sometime but today I have to say, I’m proud to be Malaysian but you make me even prouder!! Yes, I definitely hope to see you in Times Online, definitely!!! By the way, thanks for all the recipes !! Living abroad meaning I have to make most of Malaysian food from scratch. Cheers !!
Evenlyn – Cheers, cheers! Thanks for your continuing support.

Elin – thank you for trying out my recipes.

i feel bad…. :D
Calvin – it’s okay. Thanks for your support and keep reading :)
Hi,
I’ve been following your site for a few months now and it’s always those wonderful shots on the dishes that made your blog special – certainly putting you ahead of many others. Keep up the good work! Alas, we get to see the person behind the wok and camera. Wouldn’t it be great to see one of you with a chef outfit?
Pinenuts – thanks for the compliments and support. I don’t think I’d look good in a chef outfit but who knows, if there’s an occasion for it :)
bravo Bee!!!! i’m a banana but its all right cos by looking at the page is good enough to know its beautifully written befitting the beautiful owner and Rasa Malaysia ;-)
Babe_kl – thanks! I have to admit it was written nicely :)

Great to know more about you through this article! :D
Aimei – thanks for the support. Nice work on your blog, too. Now I have another place to go when I need to bake.
