I first discovered Aapplemint a few years ago and it was love at first sight. I was mesmerized by the gorgeous food photography, her mouthwatering recipes, exotic travels, and most importantly, the uber-talented Kajal/Kate who has the most beautiful face. Needless to say, Aaaplemint remains one of my favorite food blogs and it’s with great pleasure that I have Aapplemint…
Even though I grew up eating lots of Indian food—my late parents were huge Indian food fans, especially Malaysian-Indian food—I suck at making Indian food. I like Indian cuisine, but I could hardly tell the difference between fennel and cumin seeds without a magnifying glass, let alone cooking an authentic dish! So, when I found Cheeky Chilli, I knew I…
Last year, through my sister-in-blog Jaden of Steamy Kitchen (her “Steamy Kitchen” Cookbook is shipping soon, so pre-order it now on Amazon!), I contributed a recipe to a new cookbook called Asian Cocktails. Authored by Holly Jenning and Christine Leblond and published by Tuttle, Asian Cocktails is a beautiful cookbook featuring creative drinks inspired by the east…
I got a box of mangoes when I hosted my recent Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 Summer White Party. I used half to make lobster and mango salad and the other half for mango lassi–my favorite Indian beverage.

As much as I love Indian food and grew up eating lots of Indian dishes, I don’t cook Indian food well. I am honored to have Meeta of What’s for Lunch Honey as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia. I adore Meeta’s writing skills and droolsome food photography, plus she is such a fine cook. Please welcome What’s for Lunch…
Remember I told you that I hardly ever make my curry from scratch because there are many good curry pastes readily available in Malaysia? Go to any markets or stores one can find various selection of curry pastes–they usually come packaged in small plastic bags. All you have to do is adding your meat or seafood to the curry paste…
My parents are huge fans of nasi kandar–a type of Mamak/Indian-Muslim food consists of steamed rice with a variety of curries and other side dishes. (Click here and here for a peek of a nasi kandar restaurant and its many colorful dishes.) When I was little, my parents would always take me to nasi kandar restaurants. I remember vividly their…
A dream comes true. I met Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations, who was shooting an episode in Penang. More people will discover Penang soon!
