quaker Awaken Your Senses with Good Bite and Quaker

I have a big news to share with you, Rasa Malaysia is going on video!

Yes, I am one of the 12 bloggers selected by Good Bite and Quaker in the special “Awaken Your Senses” contest. As a participant, I will be on video (gasp!) talking about my favorite food memory, and then Chef Dave will recreate my favorite dish using Quaker instant oatmeal. What’s more, I get to work with my charity “The Feed Foundation” and if my recipe wins, “The Feed Foundation” will get $10,000 in donation!

My video will be going up on the “Awaken Your Senses” channel on YouTube next week. As a reader of my site, I am sure you will be thrilled to see me on video, so remember to check it out again next week and vote for me!

Thank you!

White party is that perfect summer party I have always wanted to have: [...]

Thanks to my friend EC, I was featured in a full-page interview on Kwong Wah (光华日报), the oldest and one of the largest Chinese newspapers in Malaysia. Founded in Penang, Kwong Wah is the newspaper that I read growing up so it’s an honor to be profiled in [...]

I am so excited that The New York Times has picked Penang, Malaysia (my hometown) as one of the 44 places to go in 2009. This is a great honor to Malaysians, especially to Penangites because–very sadly–Malaysia is not on the “tourist map” of Americans.
I have traveled extensively and have been to numerous places in [...]
