Pineapple Bun (Polo Bun/菠蘿包)

Pineapple Bun (Polo Bun/菠蘿包)

If you have been to Chinatown and have tried authentic Cantonese dim sum, you will probably know pineapple buns (boroh bun). Regardless of its name, there is no pineapple in the bun—it’s a soft bun with a sweet and crusty topping, which is extremely tasty when it’s freshly baked. I love pineapple buns and that’s why I asked my contributor…

Crab Bee Hoon (Crab Noodles)

Crab Bee Hoon (Crab Noodles)

During my most recent trip to Singapore (in April), my friends took me to Melben—a popular restaurant famed for its crab dishes. When the waiter came to take the order, I knew that I had to try crab bee hoon, a dish that I had read so much about on Singaporean food blogs. The crab bee hoon was served in…

Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi Fried Rice

My husband has a good Korean friend whose mother-in-law runs a restaurant in LA’s Korean Town. She always makes kimchi from scratch and he would always give us some. Whenever life gives us homemade kimchi, I make kimchi fried rice, which is easily one of the most delicious fried rice recipes ever. Kimchi fried rice takes practically 15 minutes to…

Crab Rangoon

Crab Rangoon is an appetizer found in many Chinese restaurants in the United States. A classic American creation, crab rangoon is basically fried wonton filled with cream cheese with tiny bits of crab meat.

Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (Chap Chae)

Japchae (also spelled as chap chae) is the first Korean dish I tried. Believe it or not, before I came to the United States, I had never had Korean food. Growing up in Malaysia with all its glorious local cuisines and family’s home cooking, I seldom tried other cuisines…plus there weren’t many international restaurants back then. I first had Japchae…

Shrimp Fritters

Shrimp Fritters

When my eldest sister came to visit in mid April, we were reminiscing on our family recipes, especially all the dishes that our late mother used to prepare on a daily basis. My mother was an excellent and creative home cook. She fed us every day with 4 to 5 dishes. On our dining table, there were always soup, pork/chicken,…

Gyoza Recipe

Gyoza Recipe

Gyoza is Japanese-style dumpling. Originated from Chinese jiaozi (dumplings), gyoza has become a mainstay of Japanese cuisine, a staple that is very popular in and outside of Japan. In the United States, you can find gyoza at Japanese restaurants and Asian-themed restaurants. There are four ways of preparing gyoza: steamed, boiled, deep-fried, and pan-fried. I am especially partial to pan-fried…

Hokkaido Soft Bread (Hokkaido Milk Loaf)

Hokkaido Soft Bread (Hokkaido Milk Loaf)

If you love Rasa Malaysia, it’s very likely that you love Asian food, and probably love Asian-style pastry. Call me bias but I personally think that Asian-style bread and pastry are better and have a lot more varieties than those you get from regular stores. I am a huge fan of Japanese and Taiwanese bakery shops, they are just great….

Fried Meatballs

Fried Meatballs

This is a Chinese meatball recipe with ground pork and spiced with five-spice powder. Fried meatballs is a homey recipe, one that you can prepare every day for your family without much hassle: a recipe that is great for children and adults alike. I finished almost half of the serving just as soon as the meatballs were out of the…
