GENERAL

“Rasa” is a Malay word. Derived from Sanskrit, it means “taste.” Rasa Malaysia is a culinary journey through Asia’s rich, complex, and intoxicating gastronomic delights—taste of all the flavors of Asia. Launched in July 2006, Rasa Malaysia has since expanded to cover all Asian recipes rather than just Malaysian cooking. You can find many regional Asian recipes on Rasa Malaysia, for example: Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indian, Indonesian, Filipino, and more. There are also baking and non-Asian recipes on the site.

Rasa Malaysia is my online playground—a channel I express my passion in Asian food and cooking, and the domain  I express my artistic creativity. It’s also a place I document all precious recipes from my family’s kitchen and more.

Through Rasa Malaysia, I am reliving my childhood days in Penang, Malaysia—those days when I quietly and patiently hung around in the kitchen with my late grandmother, my late mother, and my aunt as they concocted dishes upon dishes of wonderful home-cooked meals. It was then that I cultivated my life-long passion in cooking, and eating, too.

Most of the recipes featured on Rasa Malaysia are my recipes and the dishes are prepared, styled, and photographed by me. Please DO NOT STEAL any content, recipes, and/or pictures without my prior consent. Rasa Malaysia is protected by CopyScape. DO NOT COPY.
