Recently, there is a new takeout place near my neighborhood that sells all sorts of popular items—Korean BBQ ribs, japchae, chicken karaage, tonkatsu, coconut shrimp, etc. I have fallen in love with its coconut shrimp and have been packing them for lunch, at least twice a week. The coconut shrimp is unlike others that I have tried before—the shrimp has…
When I was working in LA, every week my colleagues and I would go to The Farmers Market at the Grove for the Brazilian BBQ. Pampas Grill—the stall selling the BBQ—is probably one of the most popular eateries at the Farmers Market. There is always a long line of patrons lining up for the hot-off-the-grill, juicy, and scrumptious Brazilian BBQ,…
Are they malasadas (malassadas)? Beignets? Sugar Egg Puffs? Doughuts? Not quite but they are really as good as all the above—soft, doughy, and fluffy. Once you have one, you just can’t stop. And the best thing of all, they take only 3 minutes to make, seriously. They are fried Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. Yes, those biscuits that you always bake, or…
It’s Friday and let’s serve up something sweet for the weekend. I am not particularly strong in the desserts department, so I have Jacqueline Pham of PhamFatale sharing her mango and coconut creme caramel recipe with us. Creme caramel with a tropical and Asian twist, what’s not to like? PhamFatale is food blog with many interesting and delicious recipes, thanks…
I am not much a breakfast person, I mean, I love breakfast, but growing up in Malaysia, breakfast means nasi lemak, prawn noodles, mee siam, or other street food. Even though I have been in the US for almost 15 years, I haven’t quite acquired the habit of having cereal, bacon, or scrambled eggs for breakfast. So, I often skip…
Easy seared scallops recipe with a cream sauce infused with Tahitian vanilla and whiskey. Simple, delicious, and almost restaurant-worthy. The recipe is adapted from I Heart Vanilla, who kindly posted me the fabulous Tahitian vanilla beans. I never thought that vanilla pairs so well with savory dishes; seared scallops with vanilla, is a perfect marriage of flavors in heaven…
Once in a while, I like making healthy breakfasts, for example, banana pancakes with maple syrup, topped with my favorite berries. Nothing beats waking up and having a feel-good breakfast that is loaded with all the nutrition one needs for the rest of the day–protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and more. I am not a big fan of traditional pancakes; I…
I love shellfish so it goes without saying that I love oysters. Oysters are plentiful and affordable in the United States. We’re blessed with fresh, live, big, fat, and succulent oysters all year long from the east coast and west coast. I would be sharing more oyster recipes if I don’t have to shuck them. To me, shucking oyster is…
Approximate to where I work, there is this charming little Italian restaurant–Trattoria Amici–with a very friendly hostess that serves some of the best Linguine alle Vongole I’d ever tasted.(The best one is here.) My good friend E and I chanced upon Trattoria Amici not too long ago, when our Japanese counterparts were in town. Looking at the many choices on…
I am not a big meat eater, in fact, I don’t even eat red meat. Elk backstrap is certainly a very exotic ingredient that I wouldn’t know how to prepare, and that’s why Matt of Wrightfood and I thought it would make a wonderful guest post on Rasa Malaysia. I first discovered Matt’s wonderful blog many months ago and was…
