Banh Xeo Recipe (Sizzling Saigon Crepes)

Banh Xeo Recipe (Sizzling Saigon Crepes)

I have yet traveled to Vietnam but I am a big fan of Vietnamese food, thanks to the Little Saigon in Orange County—the largest Vietnamese enclave outside of Vietnam and the place I shop, eat, and have cheap massages! Last weekend, my friend Chef Danhi invited me to join his Little Saigon tour. Towards to the end of the tour,…

Lamb Kabab Recipe (Shammi Kabab)

Lamb Kabab Recipe (Shammi Kabab)

Even though I grew up eating lots of Indian food—my late parents were huge Indian food fans, especially Malaysian-Indian food—I suck at making Indian food. I like Indian cuisine, but I could hardly tell the difference between fennel and cumin seeds without a magnifying glass, let alone cooking an authentic dish! So, when I found Cheeky Chilli, I knew I…

Beech Mushrooms Recipe

Beech Mushrooms Recipe

In my Asian market, there are always abundant choices when it comes to mushrooms—shiitake, enoki, button, portobello, buna shimeji, chicken drumstick/king oyster mushrooms, etc. I love mushrooms as they are one of the healthiest foods to eat, plus they are low in calories and are often organically grown. This week, both white and brown beech mushrooms (buna shimeji mushrooms) are…

Cooking with Chef Robert Danhi

Cooking with Chef Robert Danhi

As a home cook without any formal culinary training, I have always intrigued by the thought of cooking side-by-side with a chef, a real chef. As a “Top Chef” and “Iron Chef” TV junkie, I watch with envy when the crew help the chef churning out dishes upon dishes of seriously good eats, despite the frantic pace and sometimes chaotic…

Butter Cookies Recipe

How time flies. It was just like yesterday when the world was gearing up for Y2K bug and the potential millennium meltdown; fast forward 10 years, we are counting down to 2010, and 45 days left on 2009. It’s almost that time of year again. I might be slightly early this year in terms of baking, but I have good…

Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow/虾饺)

Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow/虾饺)

Today, I wanted to introduce you to the sweet and adorable Shao of FriedWontons4U. Twitter has become a great platform to discover new food blogs and I found FriedWontons4U a few months ago. FriedWontons4U chronicles Shao’s cooking and travel adventures. Shao came from Guangzhou—the birthplace of exquisite Cantonese cuisine—so we decided on shrimp dumplings or har gow (虾饺), arguably the…

Bibimbap Recipe

Last week, I published the first ever Korean recipe on Rasa Malaysia and confessed to the world that I am a total klutz when it comes to Korean food. Debra Samuels, coauthor of “The Korean Table” came to my rescue. She encouraged me to learn about Korean cooking and sent me her beautiful cookbook. I invited her to share her…

Indonesian Sate (Sate Babi and Sate Ayam Bumbu Kecap/Kacang)

Please welcome Rita of Mochachocolata-Rita as a guest blogger on Rasa Malaysia. Rita is an Indonesian who currently resides in Hong Kong. Whenever I visit her blog, I feel “jealous” that she is constantly traveling and eating around Asia (she loves to shop, too!).  As a true Indonesian, Rita shares with us her mouthwatering and tantalizing sate recipe, and outlined…

Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)

When it comes to Penang hawker food/street food, there are a few dishes that are chart-toppers: Penang Assam Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Noodles, and Char Kuey Teow. It’s hard to decide which one is the most popular, but if you go to Penang, you won’t—and don’t want to—miss these three stellar hawker food. Char Kuey Teow is basically flat rice noodles…
