A few months ago, I introduced Malay cooking to you via this post. Today, I am very glad to have Mastura of Foodilicious on board as a guest writer, a talented Penang food blogger and photographer who cooks beautiful and sinfully delicious Malay food and more. On Foodilicious, Mastura shares mom-daughter Malaysian home cooking, street food, baking, and restaurant dining….
The holiday season is just around the corner and I wanted to share a special recipe with you: creamy butter crab. Last Christmas, I served creamy butter crab to my friends and family and they couldn’t get enough of it. Everyone was asking for the secret recipe. Creamy butter crab is a fairly new Malaysian creation and has gotten popular…

I am sure many of my readers in Malaysia and Singapore have been wondering why haven’t I posted a beef rendang or “rendang daging” recipe? Good news, the wait is finally over and here is my recipe of arguably the most famous beef dish in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. Beef rendang is of Indonesian origin–a much-celebrated recipe from the Minangkabau…
These pineapple tarts need no introduction. I had previously blogged and raved about pineapple tarts when I first tried out Novice Baker‘s pineapple tarts recipe. This time, my pineapple tarts come in a different—but smaller—shape. They are still crumbly, buttery, and addictive. Once you pop one in your mouth, you just can’t stop and want more… (Click Page 2 for…
Sambal Udang or prawn sambal is a very popular Malaysian dish and there are many different recipes available. The one I love the most is my late mother’s sambal udang recipe, a very simple prawn sambal dish that I will share with you all one day. My second favorite will have to be my friend Salt and Turmeric‘s authentic Malay…
August 31st marks the 51st Independence Day of Malaysia and September 1st is the beginning of Ramadan–the holy month of Islam. To celebrate the two important events in Malaysia, I thought I would introduce you to Kuih Bahulu, a traditional Malaysian kuih (or cake). A favorite among many Malaysians of all races and ages, kuih bahulu is usually baked during…
Chicken curry has always been my favorite, but I hardly make chicken curry from scratch. But this past weekend, I felt motivated and wanted to make chicken curry properly, without cheating with instant curry paste. And so I did. There are many different varieties of chicken curry available in Malaysia: Indian, Muslim-Indian (Mamak), Chinese, Malay, and Nyonya. There are many…
Roti Jala–means “net bread” literally–is another Malaysian delicacy that deserves special introduction on Rasa Malaysia. These lacy and net like pancakes/crepes are very popular during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, where vendors set up temporary stalls selling roti jala to go with various curries offered. Roti Jala is also very popular as an afternoon tea snack. For me, I…
A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge. I’ve almost forgotten about it until I cleaned my fridge the other day. The thing about satay peanut sauce is…
A dream comes true. I met Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations, who was shooting an episode in Penang. More people will discover Penang soon!
