Lobster Recipe: Stir-fried Lobster with Butter and Cheese (芝士牛油焗龙虾)

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. Anyway, this is the final installment of my lobster series –stir-fried lobster with…

Belacan Yam Leaf (Sweet Potato Leaf) Recipe

Belacan Yam Leaf (Sweet Potato Leaf) Recipe

I do eat vegetables and other foods. I really do. I just don’t post them that much on this blog (which I intend to change soon) because seafood dishes are a lot more photogenic than, say, tofu, beans, turnip, chicken with skin and bones. I am partial to seafood, but I also love my greens, poultry/pork, eggs, soy products, and…

My Almost Perfect Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle Soup)

My Almost Perfect Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle Soup)

It was almost perfect…except for a little flaw. Look closely and you will see those little dried chili bits. I’ve got to get a new food processor that is powerful enough to blend the dried chilies finely…

Claypot Chicken Rice Recipe (without Claypot)

Claypot Chicken Rice Recipe (without Claypot)

I am lazy by nature, very lazy. If I were to choose something to describe my laziness, it’s probably snake. Yeah, I am kind of like a snake. I don’t like to move around too much, unless I really have to, for example: when I have to eat or when nature calls. My perfect way of spending time is just…

Black Pepper Crab Recipe

Black Pepper Crab Recipe

I was going to feature my third recipe using red bean paste today, but I changed my mind because I have a dish which is way more interesting to share–black pepper crab! The crab is all happily mingled with loads of butter, dried shrimp, aromatic curry leaves, bird’s-eye chilies, and other seasonings. Black pepper crab to Malaysians is like chili…

Bak Kut Teh Recipe

Bak Kut Teh Recipe

During my last trip back to Malaysia, I stopped by Kluang, a city in the state of Johore. It’s always great to go places, enjoy great eats, new cooking, and the trip did just that for me. Kluang is famed for its Bak Kut Teh (Pork Bone Tea Soup) so I had many meals of it. I also discovered a…

Penang Char Hor Fun Recipe (炒河粉)

There is a saying or myth in Penang about Char Hor Fun (炒河粉)–one that is only Penang’s I am sure–if you are a bachelor and would like to win the heart of your girlfriend, you would seek out the best Char Hor Fun in town and make sure you take your girlfriend there, if possible, frequently. And if you wanted…
