The holiday season is just around the corner and I wanted to share a special recipe with you: creamy butter crab. Last Christmas, I served creamy butter crab to my friends and family and they couldn’t get enough of it. Everyone was asking for the secret recipe. Creamy butter crab is a fairly new Malaysian creation and has gotten popular…
A few nights ago, I met up with my friends at Izakaya by Katsu-Ya in LA. We ordered many delicious Japanese dishes, two servings of chilled sake and chatted our night away. We had such a wonderful time! One of the dishes we ordered was a Japanese izakaya classic—steamed asari (manila) clams with sake or asari no sakamushi, a personal…
(Butter Cake recipe updated with a new, better, richer, and more buttery recipe.) 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…
I had gone completely bananas with this delicious banana bread. (Banana bread is also known as “banana cake” outside of the United States.) I love the smell of baking, especially the smell of banana bread, so yesterday, I baked banana bread (banana cake). Previously, I baked banana nut muffins to perfume my house with the sweet aromas of bananas. My…
One thing I resolved to do better is learning how to bake, so when I was home this past trip, I managed to pick up a ton of baking essentials: cookie cutters, scale, baking thermometer, cake tester, scraping spoons, etc. (Things are a lot cheaper in Malaysia despite the weak dollars!). Last weekend, I unwrapped all my shiny new baking…
Thanks to my dearest food bud Jaden at Steamy Kitchen, my famous delicious Butter Prawns dish made its TV debut, live on Tampa Bay’s ABC 7 yesterday! Please click here for Jaden’s post and here for the video clip. I would like to say “thank you” to everyone who has voted for me. You know who you are and you…
My neighborhood Ralph is giving away more eggs–another carton of 18 large eggs–so that gives me another shot of cultivating the inner-baker in me. I baked a pound cake. With some blueberries. It was yum. (I finally made good use of the bundt pan that I bought months ago.) After a few failed attempts–which I chose not to document here–I…
I am not done with my lobster. I told you I had three recipes to share, and I haven’t forgotten about it. As a matter of fact, I was giving you guys a break–I don’t want you to have a cholesterol attack just by visiting Rasa Malaysia. Anyway, this is the final installment of my lobster series –stir-fried lobster with…
Remember my Italian sweet basil plant that I told you weeks ago? Thanks to my nurturing hands, it’s blooming, growing, and abundant with leaves. Sometimes, I just pluck the leaves and straight away they go into my mouth. They are a quick pick-me-up and great as a palate-cleanser especially after some spice-laden Malaysian food. But the highlight has to be…
As my previous post stated, recently I am hooked on flour-loaded foods; last night, my craving for Carbohydrates hit me once again and the end results were these butter cookies with sliced almonds. Yum. Now I have to make a little confession–I have never made cookies before–so I make no pretense to be a patissier (I didn’t even know that…
