Pineapple Fried Rice

Pineapple Fried Rice

Chinese invented fried rice but I think it’s the genius of the Thais that make fried rice sinfully delicious—they concocted pineapple fried rice. With the addition of fresh pineapple, flavored with shrimp paste, fish sauce, and comes in a hollowed out pineapple, pineapple fried rice is the only fried rice I really wanted to eat. Not only does it look…

Madeleine Recipe

Madeleine Recipe

I am a Costco (a wholesale mega store in the US) junkie. I love shopping there and one of the items I often purchase from Costco is madeleine—an adorable shell-shaped French cake/cookie well loved by many. Even though I love madeleine, I have never attempted to bake them at home. First of all, I am not a great baker and…

Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago)

Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago)

Rachael of La Fuji Mama is a sweetheart, you’ll know what I mean if you meet her in person. I first met her a few months ago in an event at New York and became fast friends because we love similar stuff: food, traveling and living in Asia, and a penchant for Japanese cuisine. La Fuji Mama used to live…

Fried Eggs with Preserved Turnip (菜圃蛋)

Teochew Porridge Series (潮州粥): Preserved Turnip with Eggs (菜圃蛋) It’s hard to believe but this time of year, it does get rather cold even here in sunny Southern California. When it’s chilly, I love foods that keep me warm—hot pots, soups, or clay pot dishes. I need the extra warmth to get me through the winter blues…I am a tropical…

Caramel Shrimp (Vietnamese Tom Rim)

Caramel Shrimp (Vietnamese Tom Rim)

When it comes to one ingredient that I consume more than anything else in the world, it has to be shrimp. I love shrimp and I can eat it every day and for every meal. I am addicted to it. When I had caramel shrimp at Cat Restaurant in Little Saigon a few weeks ago, I fell head over heals…

What an honor to have another cookbook author gracing the cover of Rasa Malaysia…introducing Pat Tanumihardja of “The Asian Grandmother’s Cookbook“—a gorgeous and beautifully written cookbook released in Oct 2009 with food photography by Lara Ferroni. A couple of years ago, Pat invited me to share my family’s recipes in her book, especially recipes from my late grandmother who was a…

Baked Crab

Baked Crab

What is the easiest—and the most delicious—way to eat crab? Baked. With a wok. Plain old and simple wok-baked crab with nothing other than the crab, a little bit of water, and a smoking hot wok— just like my mother used to make them. I love the simplicity and the extravagant great taste of baked crab; the vibrant color of…
