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.

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 my Malaysian chicken satay…

As a big fan of shellfish, there is a ritual that I always practice whenever I go home to Penang–scouting for the scarce shellfish species and had a fix or two (or three) of them. They are the kind of shellfish that I constantly crave in the United States, but could never make them here because they are simply unavailable…
I am not done with my lobster. I told you I had three recipes to share, and I haven’t forgotten about it. As a matter of fact, I was giving you guys a break–I don’t want you to have a cholesterol attack just by visiting Rasa Malaysia.
