Rasa Malaysia was featured in The New Straits Times, one of the two largest English newspapers in Malaysia. To read the article (complete with a giant picture of me sitting on top of the Rasa Malaysia homepage with a “quote” WOW!), please click here. My long-time loyal reader and supporter Toni Xe of KL Makan also kindly captured a picture of the newspaper for me. To read it on print, please click here.
Is it just me or newapaper adds 10 pounds to my face?! I have always thought that I have a melon seed face…well, I guess not! If I ever appear on TV, I am sure it will add 30 pounds, as this woman once claimed.
I only wished that my late mother could see this article…
Anyway, thanks to Rozana Sani at The New Straits Times for writing up this nice feature. What a great way to start off the week!

woohoo & congrats girl! i agree abt the pic. it doesn do u any justice at all. is tht like an old pic or they actually sabotaged u? hmmm….
Congratulations! This is a huge achievement that all bloggers will be proud of. Being new in blogging (just a month) I discovered food and travel to be very popular categories.
Well-deserved recognition, dear! Syabas! :)
Congratulations! I agree that newspaper photos hardly ever do a person justice. Glossy magazines do a much better job…and I wouldn’t be surprised if you were featured in one soon. :)
Bee, way to go; what a great article about you and your blog. It’s true that photos from the newspaper usually aren’t that flattring, but actually I think you look very pretty.
Words of congrates from Pg. All Penangites will be proud of you. You look great…
Congratulations! You have published great and entertaining food information for some time, and your photographs are exquisite.

Congrats Bee! I must say it’s truly well deserved!
Wow! Congrats! Getting in the NST is a Big Deal! :)
By the way, I would totally buy your cookbook, simply for the Penang-style cooking I LOVE. You recipes are concise and clear… not to mention sooooooo yummy-looking! Get workin’!
Yes, I’d buy your cookbook too! :D Congrats on the NST coverage! That is a fantastic article! Keep up the good work!
So nice to read the article :D Aiya…that is why a lot of celebrities work so hard to be below avg build-and-frame so that they appear “just nice” for the camera and newspaper or any other media, But again, there are professional photographers (like yourself) out there that can do magic – knows the best angle to capture perfect shot.
But one thing never change, your beautiful smile… 笑容很美很灿烂
Congratulations. I’m sure your Mother would have been so proud.
Congratulations!

You look fine! hehe

Congrats, Bee! You deserve it!
Very big congrats!!
I’d be happy to have my ugly mug in the papers no matter how they make me look!
bee – as tiny as you are, the camera would only make you look a little less waif like! :)
A big applause to you for the featured article!!! Your effort will sure make Malaysian cuisine well-known around the globe. :)
Congratulations! And don’t worry, your face is fine :)
Congratulations!!!!!! Bravo!
That’s fantastic! Congrats on the newspaper feature :)
Congrats! That’s a great achievement for your great effort in putting up a great food blog :)
Psss.. next time look straight at the camera.. might reduce some chubbiness. I had this problem too. Worst still.. double chin :P
proud to be malaysian! cool… and congrats! hope u have a cookbook of ur own soon! :-)
Congratulations! You live in Irvine??? I thought you were in Malaysia. I have a son who attends Cal Poly so we’re often in San Luis Obispo.
Anyway, ’nuff about me. I love your site. I frequently use your recipes to spice up my humdrum meals.
Congrats!!!
I am sure you will have a cookbook deal soon. I can’t imagine any publishers who would pass up an opportunity of working on a cookbook with you. Your blog itself is a “living and breathing” cookbook. I have tried many of your recipes and they absolutely work and never fail to impress…plus you already have ten of thousands of readers who would support you if and when you publish a cookbook.
I root for you Rasa Malaysia. Good luck!

By the way, I just got back from Singapore…not technically Malaysia, but my God! So much great food. Some of the stuff I ate I tried because I had read it from your blog. Thanks for all the info you provide.
Congratulations on the article. The picture doesn’t do you justice!
What an accomplishment! I think your late mother DID get to see the article, but from heaven above. Even without the article, I am sure that she was the proudest mom in the world. Thank you for sharing the recipes and stories about your mother and Malaysia with us Bee.
