Back

I am writing this from Beijing (yes, Beijing again!). The local time is 10:30 AM and the sky is grey and very overcast (or is it pollution?).

Back in the United States, summer is in full bloom now. The sun is scorching hot, all flowers blossom, young senoritas are strutting their stuff in short shorts, but most evidently, everywhere you turn to, there is a party going on–be in on the beach, at the parks, inside or outside the house, or at the club house. Summer is always fun in the United States.

Since this is the first summer Rasa Malaysia celebrates, I thought I would share some of my favorite summer recipes with you…

Vietnamese Tau Hu Ky Recipe (Bean Curd Skin with Shrimp)

Tau Hu Ky, or fried shrimp wrapped with bean curd skin is a must-have appetizer for me whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants. The reasons are very obvious:

The soft shell crab season is about to start (it usually runs from May to July) and I thought I would share a soft shell crab recipe that I really like with you.
Typically found in Japanese restaurants, these homemade soft shell crabs were coated with panko, deep fried, and served with ginger ponzu sauce. The radish sprouts–seasoned with just…

Kuih Kodok Recipe (Malaysian Fried Banana Fritters)

After reading Princess Journals’ fried banana the other day, I knew that I just had to make some myself. While I like fried banana fritters or goreng pisang, I love kuih kodok. I do not know the best way to name kuih kodok in English, but they are basically bananas all mashed up with flour, eggs, sugar, and then…

More Yong Tow Foo/ Yong Tau Foo (酿豆腐)

I know, I have made Yong Tow Foo/Yong Tau Foo (酿豆腐) before and posted my secret recipe, but I just have to post again.
This is my quickie recipe, san the bean sauce. I pan-fried the Yong Tow Foo/Yong Tau Foo as usual, but served them immediately with hoisin chili dipping sauce…
