Many readers sent me emails requesting for Peanut Sauce recipe to go with my chicken satay, a recipe that I shared not too long ago. I apologize it look me this long to post the recipe for satay peanut sauce; it’s just one of those things that I procrastinate.
Last weekend, I was devising and perfecting [...]

For readers who are not familiar with Malaysian street food, Char Kuey Teow is one of the most popular street food in Malaysia. It’s also a much-recommended dish at Malaysian restaurants in [...]
