Thai Fish Cake (Tod Mun Pla) Recipe

Thai Fish Cake (Tod Mun Pla) Recipe

ทอดมันปลากราย. I don’t know Thai, but I think it means Tod Mun Pla, or fish cakes in Thai. Let me tell you the story about how I fell in love with ทอดมันปลากราย, or Thai fish cakes. Every time I go to Bangkok, I love wandering about in the city, looking for interesting street foods to eat. Recently, when I was…

Fried Chicken Recipe

Fried Chicken Recipe

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….

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

Ginger and Black Fungus Chicken Recipe (姜丝云耳鸡)

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…

Steamed Mussels with Lemongrass, Thai Basil, Chilies, and Coconut Juice

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…

Panang Curry Recipe

Panang Curry Recipe

I am a big fan of curries–be it Malaysian, Indian, or Thai. Born and raised in Malaysia, I love food with strong flavors and curries deliver just that. For many home cooks, curries appear intimidating and too complicated to make at home, but it’s actually quite a simple feat. As much as I love to cook authentic foods and try…

Thai Recipe: Son-In-Law Eggs

Thai Recipe: Son-In-Law Eggs

This past weekend, our neighborhood Ralph was giving away free eggs–a carton of 18 large eggs. Being the cheapo shopper that I am, I didn’t pass up the opportunity, of course. I have always loved eggs and I do shop at Ralph, plus more eggs mean I can experiment with some baking and make my favorite egg dishes such as…

Pandan Chicken Recipe

Pandan Chicken Recipe

Apologies for being so unresponsive to your comments and the lack of posting. I am on the road for two weeks and will be heading back soon. However, I wanted to share with you a new summer recipe–pandan chicken or fried chicken wrapped with screwpine leaves. Screwpine leaves or pandan leaves are commonly used in Malaysia to infuse the food…
