Summer officially starts in 3 days, on June 21. I am sure everyone is ready for some summertime fun: endless BBQ’s, pool parties, beach, sun, warmth, and family. Summer is my favorite time of the year as I can just wear light, carefree summery clothes and don’t need layers of clothing. I also love the warmth of the sun on…
In the United States, all the sports fans are counting down to February 3, for Super Bowl 2013. Super Bowl is all about chicken wings, as the football enthusiasts watch the game while nibbling mouthwatering chicken wings. Other than the regular buffalo wings, you might want to try out something different this year, and I have just the perfect recipe…
This is the season of pumpkins. Everywhere you turn to, you see pumpkins as everyone is gearing up for Halloween in a few days. I love pumpkins, I use it to make pumpkin noodles, which is rather delicious. I also use it to make the best mashed potatoes (try adding a little pumpkin or kabocha to your mashed potatoes and…
Fall/winter is the best time to have curries. Nothing warms me up quite like a pot of fiery hot, spice-laden curry. I grew up with all sorts of curries back home in Malaysia: chicken curry, fish curry, squid curry, etc. And then I discovered Thai curries, which are rather different, delicious nonetheless. Anyway, I am sure you have seen Jungle…
Thai roasted chilli paste or nam prik phao is the secret to many dishes in Thai cuisine; it’s what gives Tom Yum and many Thai dishes their oomph. Recently, the chili paste has become a staple in my pantry. I use it to make various dishes, for example: fried rice and clams. This Thai basil squid is flavored with dollops…
Who knew that Tom Yum Soup takes only 15 minutes to make? Yep, you heard it right, it takes as little as 15 minutes to make Tom Yum Soup, or in this case, Tom Yum Noodle soup, which is one of my favorite lunch dishes during week days. Like any busy moms, I don’t have a lot of time during…
Every summer, when I host BBQ parties, I would always have satay for my guests. My favorite is chicken satay. It’s hard not to fall in love with satay—skewered of marinated meat (chicken or beef) grilled over fire, and then served with a savory peanut dipping sauce. The combination is just brilliant. While I make Malaysian-style satay most of the…
Summer in the US can be scorching hot, which can potentially strip your healthy appetite even though you’re hungry. In times like this, I like to make refreshing and light salads when I am not in the mood to have something heavy. Thai salads always fit the bill as the signature flavors of tart, spicy, sweet, and salty always set…
I wanted to thank Gina for giving me the opportunity to guess post on Skinny Taste and share my Pad Thai recipe with her readers. I’m very honored—and thrilled—to grace her very popular blog, which is about delicious and low fat recipes. Gina and I started talking late last year and become friends. I adore Gina and her work on…
My friend Chef Robert Danhi and I share a lot of things in common, so it’s no surprise that we hit it off as soon as we connected on Twitter a few years ago.
