Roti Jala–means “net bread” literally–is another Malaysian delicacy that deserves special introduction on Rasa Malaysia. These lacy and net like pancakes/crepes are very popular during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, where vendors set up temporary stalls selling roti jala to go with various curries offered. Roti Jala is also very popular as an afternoon tea snack. For me, I…
A few months ago, I made some satay peanut sauce from scratch, remember? I made so much that I still have the leftover, contained in a small bottle, silently and sadly sitting at an obscure dark corner in the fridge. I’ve almost forgotten about it until I cleaned my fridge the other day. The thing about satay peanut sauce is…
Here is the Nyonya kuih pie tee step-by-step cooking guide: Making Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee is a two-step process: 1) the making of the cases/shells, and 2) the preparation of the filling and toppings…
Ginger and black fungus chicken is a plain and humble dish that anyone can whip up in their kitchen, and most importantly, it’s delicious and goes well with steamed rice. This ginger chicken dish is inspired by a recipe from “Thai Cooking Made Easy,” a must-have Thai cookbook in my opinion. I have no doubt that the recipe is originally…
I love Nobu’s black cod with miso, but it’s not easy to find fresh black cod in the market, at least not in my neighborhood. So I used Chilean sea bass instead. I love Chilean sea bass–the flesh is always so moist, tender, silky, and sweet. I also love the texture and the mouth feel of Chilean sea bass…it’s absolutely…
I am back to the normal posting cycle and most importantly, the comfort of my home. Let’s just say that I am just very happy to be home, so much so that I was practically lying there on my bed and couch for the whole weekend–doing nothing and consuming only Indomie instant noodles but still feeling utterly happy. Happiness lies…
There is an “inner celebrity chef” in me. I always daydream about my “celebrity chef” moments–giving speeches about my cooking and recipes to applauding fans; authoring a series of Rasa “fill-in-the-country-name” cookbooks (starting with Rasa Malaysia, of course); hosting glitzy food schmooze fests attended only by the crème de la crème; looking-and-cooking pretty in the highest rating lifestyle and food…
Since my trip to Jamaice 5 years ago, I have fallen in love with Jamaican jerk chicken–the food that I ate in Jamaica every day during that vacation. So, as soon as I met up with Cynthia of Tastes Like Home in Barbados during my recent cruise vacation, I told her to take me to a local store to buy…
Since my last post on pineapple tarts, I’ve received a few emails asking me about the pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling–how it looks, the texture, the inside of the pineapple tarts–and I thought I would share this picture of pineapple jam/pineapple jam with you. A perfect pineapple jam or pineapple tarts filling should be golden brown in color, with…
My self-imposing carb-free and sugar-free diet worked. After 3 days of eating organic greens, tofu, fruits, and soups, I developed a critical craving for carb and sugar—I needed a kick to my bland palate, I needed something loaded with carb, hopefully sweet and sinfully buttery. Then, I thought about the various pineapple tarts recipes that I have been saving for…
