(For the newer posts on Penang Hokkien Mee, please click here and here.) This divine bowl of Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle) took me months of hard work and patience. I mean months, not days, and certainly not hours. To concoct a pot of pure shrimpy stock that is signature to this Penang hawker food dish, one has to have…
Ooooouch! I burned my left thumb on a 475 degree Fahrenheit smoking hot oven–all because I was too eager to devour this dish like a hungry ghost. And now I got myself a blister about the size of Krakatoa and a mini-Krakatoa on the thumb. I have been soaking my thumb in a glass of ice water, but it still…
Despite my newly acquired gear, I haven’t had time to cook lately because of work. Here is a dish I made when I was home in Malaysia a few weeks ago. This is my favorite childhood dish–stir-fried la la (a type of clams found in Malaysia) with soy sauce. The sweetness of the la la plus the savory sauce, mmm,…
I made some taro dessert (Or Nee / 芋泥) tonight. This Teochew style dessert is easy to make and tastes sweet, creamy, and very good…
If you have been following this blog for a while, you should know by now that I am addicted to shrimp. The hard evidence can be found on Rasa Malaysia recipes index–you can practically spot shrimp, more shrimp, and even more shrimp dishes on the page…
Stir-fried chicken with ginger and scallions (姜葱鸡) is a traditional Chinese dish. As simple as the ingredients sound, this is not an easy dish to cook well. This dish needs a lot of wok skills. Hence, this ginger-and-scallions style of cooking is often my litmus test when I go to a new Chinese/Cantonese restaurant. If a chef can make a…
Perut ikan—literally means fish stomach—is a signature Nyonya specialty that I love very much. The thought of it often sets my stomach rumbling and mouth watering. As unappetizing as it sounds and perhaps a tad weird to many, Perut ikan is a curry-like dish of various vegetables, aromatic herbs, and fermented fish stomach in the bath of rich, savory, sweet,…
I am finally back after spending 3 weeks in Asia. As I walked into my house, I couldn’t help but noticing my lonely kitchen. She was a little dusty and sad. All my pots, pans, utensils, and kitchen appliances were buried deep inside my cabinets. My kitchen needs a little action and activities; she needs me. I resolved to give…
Following the cutesy creation from the leftover ingredients in my fridge, here comes the sexy ones. Flirting with the world with their perky tails while wrapped tightly with golden outfits, these fried shrimps are seductress to the taste buds and make everyone wanting and crazing for more after first bite, aka love at first bite. Inspired by this and Rice…
Six days, another six days and I shall hop on my flight on my way back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year. Never mind the unbearable coach seat (aka Economy class), 20 hours of eyes-wide-open (I can’t sleep on the plane) and unappetizing in-flight food, I can hardly wait for the day to come. I am brimming with excitement. I…
