Curry Puff–a snack filled with curried potatoes commonly found in Malaysian and Singapore–has been a hit in my circle of food blogosphere recently. Simcooks kicked off the craze for curry puff and did a “super-size-me” version; Budding Cook quickly followed with her rendition.

Today, my quest for smell-friendly food continues with grilled Enoki mushrooms wrapped with smoked chicken breast. Inspired by Japanese yakitori, these grilled Enoki mushrooms are light, juicy, and appetizing–thanks to store-bought smoked chicken breast deli slices and the nice presentation.

Sweet potato balls (蕃薯旦) are sweet snacks found in Malaysia. Made from the most humble ingredients–sweet potatoes, flour, and sugar–they are tasty treats for breakfast or afternoon tea.
When I was growing up, my aunt would always make them at home, or she would buy them from the market. Back then in Penang, the best sweet potato balls were found in…
