Almost every country in Asia has its own interpretation of spring rolls, otherwise known as egg rolls in the United States. In the Philippines, spring rolls are called lumpia. When I thought of featuring lumpia recipe on Rasa Malaysia, I immediately thought Marvin, the author of the popular Filipino food blog Burnt Lumpia (no pun intended). In this guest post,…
Chinese New Year is the biggest celebration for the Chinese. The anticipation of Chinese New Year starts with Dongzhi (冬至) or Winter Soltice, which is basically one month away from the arrival of Chinese New Year. During the last month of the Lunar calendar, all Chinese families will be busy baking, cleaning, and shopping for the new year. This time…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) This past weekend, my neighborhood Albertson was having an egg sale for only 99 cents a carton. When I saw the ad, I immediately thought of Chinese tea eggs. My uncle recently gave me a block of aged Chinese pu-erh tea (普洱茶) and it’s perfect for tea leaf eggs (茶叶蛋). I am a…
The best way to learn about a new cuisine is from those born and raised in that country, and that’s why I have Pepy of Indonesia-Eats as the guest writer for Indonesian food today. Pepy is the first Indonesian food blogger I know and I’ve since learned so much about Indonesian cuisine from her blog at Indonesia-Eats. In this guest…
Please welcome my friend F at Salt N Turmeric to Rasa Malaysia today as she shares her killer recipe of Soto Ayam with us.

Mee Siam is usually served with a piece of kalamansi lime (the juice gives an extra tangy kick to the noodles) and a dollop of sambal on the side. When I was researching for Mee Siam…

On Foodilicious, Mastura shares mom-daughter Malaysian home cooking, street food, baking, and restaurant dining….
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Recently, my neighborhood Asian grocery store had a lobster sale. At $6.99/lb, it was a steal that I couldn’t pass up, so I got myself a 3-lb Boston lobster. When it comes to lobsters, there aren’t that many recipes that I know of. (Previously, I had stir-fried and baked lobster with cheese and…
I first stumbled upon Thai 4 Real / Bonbini on Foodgawker a few months ago; it was food love at first sight. I am very glad to have Thip (Thip is a professional baker at two (2) fine dining restaurants in San Francisco!) as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia, so please welcome Thai 4 Real / Bonbini as she…
Even though I tout Rasa Malaysia as the online source for Asian cooking and recipes these days, I don’t have any Filipino recipes! When I started thinking about having Filipino guest writers, I immediately thought of ChichaJo of 80 Breakfasts. I adore her beautiful blog, writing style and fab food photography. So, please welcome 80 Breakfasts to Rasa Malaysia as…
