		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the Father&#8217;s Day weekend and I am sure many of you will be celebrating the special day. I always think that Father&#8217;s Day is way underrated compared to Mother&#8217;s Day. I personally think that fathers give as much as mothers, if not more. They are out working, making a living to support the family, and when they come home, they have to play with the kids and help out with the chores. I have the world&#8217;s best father at home (Mr. Rasa Malaysia), and my son is very lucky that he has a wonderful father. I am blessed that I have someone whom I can &#8220;unload&#8221; my son to in the evening and on the weekends. It&#8217;s really precious. Anyway, I digress. When I saw this Sicilian Orange Cake on my friend CP&#8217;s Facebook, I knew that I had to tell her to share this Sicilian Orange Cake recipe with me. Sicilian Orange Cake tastes like butter cake, with an addition of orange juice. I love my butter cake recipe a lot, but the orange juice does add a citrusy tang and aroma to it. The end result is this beautiful and pleasing Sicilian Orange Cake that is very hard to resist. This weekend, why don&#8217;t you surprise your father by making a cake for him. Cakes are not only for Mother&#8217;s Day, but can be a great surprise for your father. The recipe is in metrics measurement, but you can use my conversion tool to convert to US measurement. However, for the best results, please follow the exact recipe below. Have a great Father&#8217;s Day weekend!

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s strawberry season and every market you go, there are plenty of fresh, big, juicy, sweet, ripe strawberries on sale. In Irvine, there are still many strawberry farms around, and some of them are right off the roads. I was driving by one of the main roads in Irvine one early morning and saw the hardworking workers harvesting the strawberries. I couldn&#8217;t help it but went straight to the farmers market right next to it and bought two boxes of them. The good news about strawberry is that everyone in my family loves it, including my picky eating toddler. He had two big and juicy strawberries that day and asked for more. As a mother, I couldn&#8217;t be happier that he is eating healthy and that he loves his fruit. I decided to use some of the strawberries to make strawberry scones for breakfast the next morning. I love my scones with strawberry jam but adding some chopped fresh strawberries into the scones just makes everything so much better. We all loved this wonderful strawberry scones recipe and I am very sure that I will be making a lot of these this season. Happy Memorial day weekend and have a fun, safe, and wonderful time with your family!

		<description><![CDATA[(You can get all Chinese New Year recipes here, including baking, cakes, savory and dessert recipes.) For Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, and those who live overseas, this time of year means one thing: baking time for the upcoming Lunar New Year. As the year of Snake is just barely two weeks away, every household is busy prepping for the upcoming new year. Spring cleaning, shopping for Chinese New Year&#8216;s foods and goodies for friends, families, and clients, buying new clothes and shoes, and most definitely, making batches of batches pineapple tarts, peanut cookies, kuih bangkit, and more. Everywhere you go, you will see vendors, shops, hawkers selling their Chinese New Year cakes, and one of the most popular items is pineapple tarts. On Rasa Malaysia, I have shared a couple of recipes here and here, but this year, I have decided to ask my contributor Ho Siew Loon to share a Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes recipe, which is no less tasty than the regular ones. Personally, I prefer Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes, or 凤梨酥, which is a must-buy whenever I go to Taiwan, or Taiwanese-style bakeries. They are rectangles or squares in shape, rich, crumbly, buttery, and filled with a decadent filling. I just can&#8217;t stop eating them, and they are especially great with tea. This Chinese New Year, perhaps you can try making these Taiwanese pineapple tarts. I am very sure you will love them. And here is what Siew Loon has to say about perfecting her Taiwanese pineapple tarts/shortcakes recipe. &#8220;I must say that I have been doing a lot of research and tried a lot of recipes on this little favorite snack. I have just lost count on how many types of pineapple shortcakes I have eaten in order to come out with this recipe. I shared some...<br /><br /><div><img src="http://rasamalaysia.com/images/homepage/taiwanese_pineapple_tarts_hp.jpg"/></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(This is the BEST butter cake recipe ever. Updated with new photos. Originally published in 2008.) Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes. I love baking cakes; I find it rather easy, well, if I choose a simple recipe. I especially enjoy baking cakes in the weekends because nothing tastes better than a cup of hot coffee with a freshly baked cake—while I read through my magazines or newspaper on a Sunday morning. And then, on Monday, I can heat up my leftover cake in the microwave for 10 seconds and have myself a nice breakfast to beat my Monday blues and start off my hectic work week on the right foot. I love cakes, and now I love baking them. One of the cakes I absolutely love is butter cake&#8211;plain old simple but always good butter cake. It calls for really common ingredients that everyone has in their fridge or pantry, and that totally fits my bill in terms of convenience. For butter cake, I used to cheat with store-bought yellow cake mix—Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, or Betty Crocker. Now I can just bake butter cake at home. Love Baking? Try these baking recipes from Rasa Malaysia.

I am going to share two recipes (ginger soy soba party tray coming soon) that will help you through this very busy weekend.

		<description><![CDATA[My holiday baking continues today with pecan sandies, one of the classic cookies for the holidays. Everyone loves buttery and crumbly cookies and these pecan sandies are made with finely chopped pecans, butter, and all-purpose flour and dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. I have never made pecan sandies before so I referred to a cookie magazine I got while shopping—100 Best Cookies 2012 magazine. The magazine is graced with all festive cookies and I basically wanted to try making everyone of them. I am a big fan of butter cookies and my son has acquired a liking for them. In fact, he only loves the cookies I bake. Anyway, here is the pecan sandies recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper. For the dusting of powdered sugar, you can do without it as the cookies are already sweet enough. However, if you want your pecan sandies to look even more tantalizing, lightly dust them with some powdered sugar, just like how I did on the photos above. Have fun and enjoy holiday baking!

		<description><![CDATA[December is a happy month. It is a month about baking really outstanding cookies for the upcoming holiday season; it is also a month filled with holiday parties, great friends, and family. So this month, I am sharing a few of my favorite cookies recipes as well as party foods with you. When I decided to make thumbprint cookies, I knew that I had to buy an excellent jam. After all, thumbprint cookies are precisely butter cookies filled with jam. Being a jam novice, I turned to my friend Chez Pim—food blogger extraordinaire turned award-winning jam maker. Pim recommended her Fetching Framboise Raspberry Jam. Oh boy, all the hype is true&#8230;Chez Pim&#8217;s jam is the best jam I have ever tasted. (Her celeb devotees includes Nigella Lawson, Anthony Bourdain, Ruth Reichl, and many more!) The Fetching Framboise made an excellent filling for the thumbprint cookies. I love the fresh taste of the berries (yes, you can taste the freshness even though they had been made into a jam), the slight tartness, with just the perfect balance of sweetness, and the aroma&#8230;oh, the aroma and fragrance of the berries. It was so good even the picky Baby G loved it on his toast. Anyway, thumbprint cookie is a holiday classic so if you are making them this year, you can try out my recipe below.

		<description><![CDATA[This time of year is meant for baking. Not only that the holidays are fast approaching, but the falling temperature outside means more time in the kitchen as we spend less time outdoor. Nothing warms up quite like the warmth from baking something in the oven. Plus, the smell and aroma of baked goods are always welcoming in the crisp cool air during fall/winter. I have wanted to try making French cheese puffs, or gougères for a while. I have bookmarked so many Gougères recipes I have lost count of them. I love all sorts of cheese puffs or breads, be it Brazilian cheese puffs pão de queijo, cheese breadsticks, or French choux pastry as in cream puff.  Gougères is such a delightful—and addictive—little package packed with wonderful aroma and delicate flavors. I couldn&#8217;t stop eating these fresh-off-the-oven cheese puffs. Next week is Thanksgiving holiday and instead of your regular parker house rolls, perhaps you can try this French cheese puffs or Gougères recipe. Everyone could always use some extra cheese, especially the ones mixed with dough and baked to golden perfection. What are you making for Thanksgiving?

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently changed Baby G&#8217;s daycare schedule to full day instead of partial day, which means that he basically spends his whole day there now. (Yay to mommy as I get more &#8220;me&#8221; time to work on my blog, developing, and testing recipes). Because of that, I have started baking more because I would love for him to eat better during his afternoon snack time, instead of the typical store-bought crackers and biscuits, which are not all that nutritious. Baby G likes to eat bananas and chocolate, so I decided to combine his two favorite ingredients into a cake that he will like. I made this banana chocolate bread, which is adapted from Everyday Food magazine by Martha Stewart. I subscribe to almost all food magazines, but I always find Everyday Food very useful with practical and doable everyday recipes. More importantly, the recipes that I have tried always turn out great. This banana chocolate bread recipe yields aromatic, moist, and delicious cake. On the third day when we had the last loaf of the banana chocolate cake, it was still soft and moist, just like it was freshly baked! If you&#8217;re tired of your same old banana bread, give it an upgrade by adding some chocolate to the cake. The end result is pleasing to adults, kids, and picky toddlers. I cut these banana chocolate bread into bite-sized pieces and packed them into Baby G&#8217;s tupperware. It makes me feel happy because I know that he will be eating well during snack time and continue to grow.

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, we went to Redondo Beach to celebrate my friend&#8217;s birthday. Redondo Beach is probably one of my favorite places to go to in the Los Angeles area, not because of the spectacular views and the nice beaches, but for the seafood. If you are a local or have visited Redondo Beach, you will know that locals and tourists alike flock there because it offers (to me) the freshest seafood in the area, with many seafood shacks selling everything from fresh oysters to steamed Dungeness crab or lobster, and more. One of the most popular seafood shacks is Quality Seafood, which always has a beeline of patrons lining up for its seafood. I LOVE Quality Seafood—there are all sorts of shellfish waiting for me. I think by now, everybody who reads Rasa Malaysia knows my penchant for shellfish, so Redondo Beach is practically my seafood paradise. One of the shellfish that I absolutely love but can&#8217;t get easily is soft shell clams or New England steamers. They have thin and fragile white-color shells, with siphon sticking out. Quality Seafood is the only place I know that carries this delicious clam. So I didn&#8217;t hesitate to load up a few pounds to bring home with me. Soft shell clams are extremely briny and sweet in taste, and the flesh is very tender and juicy. All I did was steaming them with a little garlic and butter, with some white wine. I would always &#8220;drink&#8221; the delicious clam juice/broth until not a single drop left. I introduced my friends these steamers and they absolutely loved them, too. You don&#8217;t even need a proper recipe to enjoy these clams, you can just steam them and serve with some melted butter, as seen on Simply Recipes. If you can&#8217;t find steamers where you...<br /><br /><div><img src="http://rasamalaysia.com/images/homepage/steamer_hp.jpg"/></div>]]></description>
