There is no secret that I adore Japanese cuisine and wish to learn more about it. Today, I am very pleased to have Marc at No Recipes as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia. Marc shares his kitsune udon recipe, elaborates on Japanese dashi (the building block of Japanese cuisine), and introduces key Japanese ingredients in this udon recipe post….
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) When I was compiling my Chinese New Year recipes, I came to realize that I don’t have a potsticker recipe on Rasa Malaysia.

When I first read this fried chicken recipe post on Chez Pim, I knew immediately that it’s a keeper. I am addicted to these perfectly-fried, golden, crispy and flavorful fried chicken in Thailand. As a matter of fact, I was laying over in Bangkok recently and had no less than 3 servings of fried chicken from 3 different street vendors….

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.

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…
