If you read food blogs, I am sure you already know the fabulous food blog PigPig’s Corner authored by the lovely Ann and Jeff, a Malaysian couple based in the United Kingdom. Pig Pig’s Corner covers both recipes and also restaurant reviews; regardless of what they post, I am always drooling over their foods. This week, I started off the hawker food post with Penang Curry Mee, and PigPig’s Corner is sharing her mee rebus recipe today. Please do check out the mee rebus gallery that Ann is sharing with us, I am hungry at the sight of those golden brown and crispy prawn fritters and the mouthwatering mee rebus! Please give your warmest welcome to PigPig’s Corner and thanks for sharing such a wonderful family recipe.

Mee rebus is one of the many noodles dishes popular in Malaysia. It is yellow noodles served with a thick spicy potato-based gravy and garnished with a hard-boiled egg, spring onions, bean sprouts, fried shallots, tau kwa (dried/ fried beancurd) and lime juice. Although I mentioned popular, I’ve never tried it until my mum-in-law’s version, due to the many other distractions of course.

I fell in love with it when I took my first bite. The gravy is really thick, rich and flavourful with a hint of sourness from the tamarind paste and also the lime juice. My mum-in-law serves it with cucur udang/ bawang (prawns and onions fritters), which I think makes a great accompaniment as the fritters soak up all that wonderful gravy. Another great addition is sambal, which adds an extra ‘kick’ to the dish…

Cooking with Chef Robert Danhi

As a home cook without any formal culinary training, I have always intrigued by the thought of cooking side-by-side with a chef, a real chef. As a “Top Chef” and “Iron Chef” TV junkie, I watch with envy when the crew help the chef churning out dishes upon dishes of seriously good eats, despite the frantic pace and sometimes chaotic…

Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)

When it comes to Penang hawker food/street food, there are a few dishes that are chart-toppers: Penang Assam Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Noodles, and Char Kuey Teow. It’s hard to decide which one is the most popular, but if you go to Penang, you won’t—and don’t want to—miss these three stellar hawker food.
Char Kuey Teow is basically flat rice noodles stir-fried…

Siew Bao (Baked BBQ Pork Buns/烧包)

I have many readers in Australia, thanks to the growing Malaysian expats there. Earlier this year, I invited the talented A Table for Two to guest post on Rasa Malaysia, and today, I would like to introduce you to yet another uber-talented Malaysian food blogger down under—Ellie of Almost Bourdain. Almost Bourdain is a beautiful blog with excellent food photography…

Curry Clams Recipe

A few weeks ago, I met Marc of No Recipes and Zen of Zen Can Cook in New York City. We had so much fun and shared deep conversations about food, blogging and our dreams over a delicious yakitori dinner. After I came back, Marc invited me to guest post on No Recipes and I gladly said yes as Marc…

Sambal Telur Recipe (Egg Sambal)

Sambal—precisely cooked sambal—is a notably versatile and robust component in traditional Malaysian cooking. It’s the building block of many scrumptious and colorful Malay and Nyonya dishes and marries well with wide array of ingredients: seafood, tofu, eggs, and vegetables.
Once you master the skill of making a great sambal, you can prepare numerous variations of lusciously addictive sambal-laden dishes, for example:…

Grilled Fish with Banana Leaf

This is the grilled fish recipe that I am reluctant to share. Why? Because it’s so darn good and perfect.
I secretly wanted to stash my hand written Malaysian grilled fish recipe somewhere and hoping that one day, a mega chef like Jean-Georges Vongerichten would pay me $10,000 for this precious recipe. But I am a nice person; I love sharing…
